Kurt Cobain Competition Mustang Guitar Build

Музыка

Building a Kurt Cobain Competition Mustang inspired Guitar.
I'll be using parts from a Squier bullet mustang and a vintage modified Mustang, a Seymour Duncan SHR1 Hot rail pickup in the bridge position.
I'll also show how to install a Tuneomatic including how to shim the neck.
Once she's all built we will test her out with some grunge nirvana riffs.

    Indeed. Ever since I've been following Rob's channels, I've built up my 2nd hand budget guitars company, my own home in the country , and assembled a discarded, but now roadworthy VW camper. Just roll up your sleeves lad , the world can be yours.🐱

    That’s a cool project indeed. I also worked on this project, and yesterday I changed the bridge from a standard Mustang to a Tune-o-matic (because it's a Squier Bullet Strat, and the string spacing is 52mm instead of the standard 55mm for Mustang bridges). However, I'm having issues with the action. I already set it at a 1.5-degree angle with a neck shim, but it's still a bit high. I don't know what to do 😢

    Hi, i really like you’re job but I have to ask … Does that hot rail match that stock neck pickup or is it much of a difference on output between those two ? I just ordered Squier classic vibe 60’ competition mustang in capri orange and I’m looking for what to do first with that guitar if you have any suggestion please leave a comment a really appreciate it :) something like first things to do with it or any tweaks to stay in tune or what you will do first out of the box … Thank you very much and greetings from Slovakia
