If they have forgotten the trem bar, there's only one solution:
Rout the body and fit an aftermarket floyket floydrose. No need to thank me.
Very nice!

Nice. Glad to hear it plays as well as it looks!
Not sure if I'd fit a Floyd Rose - never looks quite right to me with Daphne Blue. Just give GC a gentle subtle kick in the bricks until they cough up that trem arm.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, I called them. I guess they're looking for it. Whatever.
I took it in for a setup and a new nut. The nut was pretty bad. Picking it up Friday.

Great find! My favorite body shape by far. I have 2 cyclone reissues and love them. Congrats and enjoy!

I would think it's normal, because Mustangs didn't come with a mute, those were Jaguars. Although maybe you mean the bridge cover.

You are correct. I thought it was a mute but it's just a bridge cover.

Funny thing, I actually had a dream about buying a Mustang or Jagstang about 3 nights ago. In silver to be precise though, sort of like it had a worn metal body.
And then this thread shows up.

Dude, Killer find! I love those old fenders. I'll bet it plays and sounds great, probably so comfortable in your hands.

Yeah, the guitar is very comfy to play. It has a great fat neck profile and it's very comfortable in my hands. I like the short scale on the guitar. I usually prefer the Gibson scale to the larger Fender scale on Strats, Teles, etc. so this is a good Fender for me to own.

Whatever happened to your jazzmaster craving? I seem to recall you wanting one pretty hard for a while there, although I haven't been around much lately. They have that long scale, did you not like it?

Thats a fantastic looking Mustang and you've got me gassing for one!
I used to play Tele's as my main squeeze but bought a Jag during a moment of weakness and I've not picked up the either of my Telecasters since!
Fender offsets are lush.
