mustang pickups (1 Viewer)

[mark]

i have one of these:

the top one, the standard bullet. and i want to get new pickups for it cause the output of the current ones is pretty weak. they have to be the same size and shape as the current pickups which i'm pretty sure are the same as mustang pickups. i can't throw a humbucker or standard single coil in there cause the scratchplate is steel and forms the back of the bridge so i do not wish to fuck with the integrity of it.

i've done a few wee web searches and gotten nowhere. the bartolini site in rubbish, i thought for sure they'd have one. anybody know of a companies that might do em?

mad looking guitar, like Fender were looking for a bit of the Danelectro market action

nice to play?

yeah, it is very nice to play. body is thin and light (cheap wood i think). the neck it amazing. quite thick. the story is these guitars got 60s and 70s tele necks that were hanging around the factory. i have a maple fingerboard.

the bridge pickup it thin and weak sounding. the nick pickup is much niceer, fat but with an edge. its the one i use more often. doesn't sound like a tele or a mustang as far as i can tell. pretty unique sounding instrument. its a quiet guitar. the scratchplate forming part of the bridge thing is quite odd, but it works fine.

one thing thats strange, in canada the guitar had real trouble holding the drop C tuning, as in, the bridge saddle used to collape. tried various string gauges to no avail. but since i've gotten back to ireland i can rock out in C all day on it and it's perfect.
