Refinishing a beat up Squier By Fender Vintage Modified Mustang Guitar and turn it into an awesome Kurt Cobain inspired Custom Competition Mustang.
I transform this Mustang from a plain Sonic blue paint job to a super cool metallic purple finish with Surf Green Competition stripes!
I also fit a hot rail pickup in the bridge position along with installing new pots and orange drop capacitor.

Really cool project, and awesome color, but I think you've got one pup soldered in the opposite direction. When the switches are at the in-phase positions (looking the same way), the tone is clearly out-of-phase, and vice-versa. Try desoldering the cables of the neck pup and solder them the opposite way.
@theguitarmanifesto
@theguitarmanifesto 4 жыл бұрын
Well if it's the wrong way it's a factory error on the wiring as I never touched the wiring on the neck pup I only swapped the hot and ground on the bridge pickup. I actually was thinking it sounded out while editing the video but put it down to not playing a Mustang for a while 😂 😂 I'll have a look when I swap the Pickguard over

the red and green were tied together leaving me to think the hot was the white. after messing around this morning the white and red should be tied together and the green is the hot. guess is swapped the polarity around.

Really great relic.it looks more than just a " relic" though , it's a unique guitar.my dream is to recreate my old 1965 mustang that was dakota red over desert sand.the guy I bought it from said it was the lounge guitar as far back as 1975 on the " Pacific princess " cruise ship.it was stolen by a pawn shop worker when my friend pawned it on loan....how bad is that.would be nice to do this to bring it back.great vid and nice finish.

good job, only difference in the way you paint and the way I do it is I start with the edges and then do back and front because I ruined a good job by being too heavy on the edges after I'd made the front look pretty, had to sand it back and start again, I really don't like doing things twice. Cheers Pete. PS leave the tort guard.

I could never find a purple precision bass so I bought a cheap one to paint. I'm past the point of no return took it apart and sanded the finish off. Thanks for this video I've got low expectations so I think it will come out great. Pearl white pickguard white pickups white control knobs all I need is a headstock decal.

LOVED the video, Rob! LOVE the colors, and I REALLY LOVED the headstock... But I'll be honest, one of the reasons that I was REALLY interested in this video, was to see how you do your clear coat... Clear coating always gives me problems... It's like a tightrope between bein smooth enough and not sanding through... So, I was really curious how you did yours... But as it turns out, you do your's JUST like I do it, anyway! Lol... And I think Kurt'd be proud... Instead of just buyin a KC signature guitar, you built your own using less expensive stuff... You know Kurt wouldn't just buy a signature model of ANYBODY'S and just play that, lol... Way to go, hoss!

Rattle cans is hard to get smooth you have to wet and dry just make sure you give it a thick coat, sand in stages and a good finishing polish after always look mint 🤘🎸 This was always intended to be a beater finish so not too bothered, glad you like the Mustang 👌😍 I've had all the KC signature models, never feels the same as playing your own build. Reminds me of playing in a covers band feels so wrong and unsatisfying

Hey Rob, just caught this video, and I got a question about Mustangs. The cigar bar, it is supposed to be perfectly perpendicular to the bridge plate, or do some lean back? Thanks!

They tend to lean back due to the way it's designed

@@theguitarmanifesto thanks Rob! Ive seen them in all sorts of positions, I have a VM Mustang that is perfectly straight up, and a Vintera that is way back. Prolly gonna lock both at some point, but thanks for the reply and insight!!

Guess it comes down to the tension on the springs

@@theguitarmanifesto I did think about that as well, but both have 10s on there. The only difference I do know of, is the VM has 3 positions for the springs to hook on to on the posts, while the Vintera only has 2. Hmmm 🤔

Ideally a poly gloss would be best on a refinish, I wanted a relic look so car lacquer work well for this job.
