Really interesting collection!! Kudos!!
Might need to inquire how/where you ordered the custom throw pillow; I have to do something that will make my cat Deckard feel either important or annoyed for his 5th birthday.
Alright! Good/bad/good news. I had my pickups arrive today, and after a while panicking (realised that poopie, the shop didn't specify what spacing the mustang one had and I'm not sure if it'll fit when it arrives) my fears were alleviated when the pickups fit perfectly. Bad news for those who wanted a comparison video - I broke one of the cables into the original mustang pickup and am too lazy to fix it before I put the new ones in. The strings are off anyway... It's just ready for the new magnets.
Now, for an aesthetic question: currently both my pickups have covered pole pieces (see this post for a comparison/reference), but the bridge nordy I got has radiused pole pieces that I can't cover. Do I go back to covered/uncovered neck/bridge, or do I drill holes in my mustang pickup enclosure to show the neck pickup pole pieces? Something about the consistency does it for me, and I'm a sucker for uniqueness, but I haven't seen any examples - what do y'all think?

Mustang ModYou can't put a musicman pickup in the bridge of your mustang and not show us some more in depth photos! Unless you've already posted them and I've not seen them...?
Oddest thing my mother in-law found that at a department store. Burlington or home goods or something like that lol. Everyone thinks it’s custom made!!
I have a MIM PJ (butterscotch) which I love to bits. I haven't upgraded it at all yet, but leaning towards replacing the pickups first. In all honesty, I mostly play on the P-side
Has anyone tried the Fender 63 Pure Vintage on the mustang?
Also, I gather the Hipshot HB10 are a direct swap?

I never use the J pickup on my LE PJ.
I spent about a year trying different PJ Mustangs. I was looking for a great P tone in a shortscale, This one deliveres it. During that search I was about to settle and swap pickups but it turns out this bass has the best P tone I've every played. I wonder if the ebony fingerboard is what did it?
Same here, I like my Shell Pink so much, I'm selling another unused bass in preparation for a LE in Black.
I got a Lake Placid blue Squier Mustang Bass. It is a different shade than my Mustang PJ .

I've been holding out for just such a deal. I ordered the maximum number allowable, which is 4 for anyone who is interested.
Now some of my shorties will have a "real" home as opposed to sticking out of the top of a guitar gig bag ghetto style.

I certainly don't know. I've never seen the AP bag. These are decent quality standard Fender bags. I would gig with one, but I wouldn't trust it to roadies (not that I've ever had a roadie.

That's less than half the normal price from Fender.com! .

I don't see Fender.com discounting any APs. But you can get 10% off some Squier stuff and $30 off certain other things!

I just looked at the Q&A section at the bottom. One poster says it does not fit his mustang, so you might want to proceed with caution. (Didn't notice if size specs were listed) However, it does appear that various sizes are offered so it's possible he got the wrong size.

Sweetwater lists the internal length as being 45.66". My MIM PJ Mustang is 43" long.
