I see what you mean. I only added the Hi Mass bridge on mine to counter the remaining neck dive I had.

I didn't do that with mine. If someone gets that close while I am playing, I've got other things to worry about!
No kidding!
But I like it...I have to look at it and do enjoy the attention to detail!!
If you don't really like or use the J pickup, that makes a lot of sense, would simplify things a lot,
and would be easy to undo in the future if you change your mind.
Sweet bass. Where did you get tort pickguard?View attachment 3224224
I’m done (almost) with my Mustang project.
This was a used 2016 sonic blue with rosewood board. (Wanted Oly white but this is close...)
Solved neck dive and shaved overall weight with Hipshot ultralites (lollipop). Fralin pickups, tort guard, nice setup. Tapewounds at the moment feel and sound nice.
She’s now a hair under 7 pounds and meets the target for a lightweight short scale I can play out for real when my (human) neck acts up. I’m still going to rewire volume and tone knobs so they function the way I prefer and probably change out the toggle switch.
Not a good pic but you’ve all seen a Mustang PJ before.

Looking good. Nice job!

Hey all,
Just wanted to let you know I will be away from TB for awhile as I am off to our Nation's Capital to present the proposal for the charity in my late granddaughter's name. Hopefully I should be back in about a month.
Now don't go and do any spectacular modifications I might be interested in! But you do have my blessing to change any “Mint" pickguards you might come across.
If I don't make it back in time Everyone have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Safe trip, Bob. Good Luck, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
Thought you would approve! Have a great trip!
What is it with Fender and the mint PGs? I know we all like different things, but green doesn’t necessarily go with everything.
Apparently Fender likes them! I have one that came with mine that I will sell real cheap
.
Hey, all,
Just got finished "tweaking" my new JMJ Road Worn Mustang!
Kudos to JMJ and Fender for creating this model. Fantastic bass - plays and sounds like it was made just for me!
Can I have a number?

It’s a CME exclusive, available through Reverb. There is a link in the first post of this thread:
Fender Mustang PJ Bass - Black/Tort/Maple
The tort on mine is really dark- almost purple. I love it! The maple board is kind of glossy; neck is satin smooth.
NBD!!................
Cheater!
"...Estimated ship date: November 30, 2018..."
Congrats. I know you were one of the first on the wait list.
It looks way good. Did you sell one of your other P/J's, or are you keeping them all?
There were no Mustangs for the longest time, and now they're popping up everywhere. Good Times.
