Begin work on Cobain Pink Homemade Mustang. Some challenges presented. Fitting the Squier neck into pocket. Adjusting 25.5″ scale neck into 24″ scale Mustang body. CNC 3d work. Going to see how well I can bevel the body. Should be a good test. The fender have very thick bevels. Cutting with larger ballmill. It’s already thickness planed from Dewalt planer. Just need to cut out bevels, outline and control and humbucker cavities. Also need to make a black univox style pickup. Although he probably didn’t use a Univox pickup unless he got one from a Univox ripper guitar, but there is no history of it. Most likely pulled from another guitar and used the humbucker ring but not sure because the baseplate from the Univox has 3 mounting screws, instead of 2. Since I’ll probably never know. I think i’ll use the first humbucker test make I made with black bobbins. It’s a hair darker. Or rewind another one. Since I didn’t dip that one in lacquer. Most likely the latter.

Update – Added Fret2find frets, lined up 25.5″ scale neck. Purchased Schaller Hard tail bridge. Assembled pickup I’m going to use. Probably going to aim closer for 2.99kHz for a 52mm sized bobbin. Notice control plate location. Kurt put this one right up to the edge of the bevel. May add more wiggle room for humbucker, in case neck doesn’t line up right. Also I won’t CNC the holes, I’ll align manually.

Will probably start 3d modeling body soon. Also need to figure how i’ll ground the bridge. May Need to purchase or find, a long drill bit.
