Part 6 Building A Budget Kurt Cobain Mustang ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NNfvlj-Zc7o.html

I've always wanted a mustang configured like this. I'm horrible at electronics though.

All part of the learning proccess with wiring, apart from that it looks and sounds definitely like a Kurt Cobain mustang!

Been loving this series man, learning alot too! Awesome build

Sounds spot on to me, looks cool too, glad you shown the wiring issue, most people would of edited that out n shown the finished product, I'm soo doing this to my Mustang!

Nice series Rob, sorry about the hangups, but it would be cool if you could do more of these types of videos. The mustang is sounding good.

Wooow rob what a work amazing guitar and sounds like the fender signature model of kurt i say for me its best do this than buy the mustang from fender

Glad to see you use a decent soldering iron, that and good solder is more than half the battle, some people like to do things the hard way but not me.

As a new guitar player I love the channel. Still searching for “my” guitar, hopefully it happens soon. The new player Strat is nice but I think I like the ceramics in my old standard better. Keep up the great videos.

Very informative mate. I’ll defo be tackling this project soon. Much to my wife’s dismay 🤪 another guitar in the house lol

The great finale, at last. Thanks for those close ups. Those moments when you were silently doing the soldering work, that was intense, heavy breathing and all. I wonder if the heat from the soldering iron would affect the switches or the pots. But since you could play the guitar, probably it didn't. Yeah, your playing sounds just like the real deal, how Cobain hits those weird sounding chords. Grounding the wires, which I was waiting for, clearly explained and shown, thanks. Hoping you can sort out why those switches weren't cooperating with you. Great build, inspiring me to try out myself. Thanks, Rob, you're the man!

WOW bro I am really impressed by this, love everything about this guitar, colour, the sound, design it’s clasz and badass 😎😎😎 nice to listen to some Cobain music again too noone like him

Rob I really dig this guitar it sounds great to!! Rock on☮️🤘🎸

Bridge pick up just sounds so much better when playing guitar driven music from Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins etc., This is just my opinion. Nice build mate!

Looking and sounding very cool. I want a Mustang ! Cheers.

Daamn man, what a great result! Looks and sounds amazing! I’m sorry about the bridge but awesome if everything is still fine like this! Gotta say that fiesta red is one of the nicest reds that Fender do, and looks stunning on a Mustang! I’m also noticing that your playing has improved, more solid, you seem more confident playing. Sounded awesome to me! I’m almost tempted to try to build my own budget Cobain Mustang now, the last time I think I saw one was about 14-15 years ago I think 🤔 or it might’ve been a Jagstang not sure

Amazing mate!

as i expected, the best fiesta red

Great work Rob. It sounds excellent 👍

Totally sounds right. It’s amazing how having another guitar with the same setting on whatever amp will be close, super close, but as soon as a Mustang, jagstang or signature Jaguar gets plugged in it’s immediately that tone. I’m getting a mustang 90 tomorrow morning and I plan on doing this build, slanting the p90s but adding the dynamic tailpiece and the proper mustang switching. Should be interesting. Yours came out sweet though. Good job.

Compared the clip of the bridge pickup to the Lice on Nulle Ailleurs video and it sounds almost just like it! Nice job man

Hey Rob, I took a screen shot of your video at 12:36, & to me it looks like the wires that go corner to corner in "an X shape" on the switches appear to not be wired right. Excuse me if I'm mistaken. But if you ignore the center lugs where the pickups are wired on, the corner lugs should be wired to the lug that is diagonally from it. The black wire on the neck switch is wired properly, but I think the white wire is not. It looks like the white wire goes to the same lug as the black wire does. And it should go to the lug that is diagonal from itself. And it looks like the bridge switch is wired the same way. Again, forgive me if I am wrong. I'm not trying to tell you how to wire your guitar. Just thought I might be able to help. Congrats on finishing it. It looks awesome man.

Sweet

Brilliant work Rob , just a pity you didn't live next door to me i'd always be calling round :)...oh i hate soldering...and am i right in thinking the fumes from solder is toxic ???

So awesome. Huge bummer that the switches are acting funky but you’ll get there.

It looks and sounds grate mate can you do a jaguar next or maybe the blue one idk this was a really rad little series to watch or maybe even the telacaster paint job he had the sunburst painted blue with a Hart showing the sunburst finish

ive had cavity touchy problems too with my mustang... i widened it around the switches

I know you said the Jaguar was on the horizon, but maybe one day after that do you think you'd do an Eddie Vedder "arrow" tele?

i always use a "lighter" to burn off the exess plastic on the wire's you have to be quick though !

Sounds great

Good job mate, did you find the correct wiring diagram for the humbucker and single coil?

NICE. Badass Mustang, play the shit out of it.

so far so good rob! i might have a solution to the switches being temperamental. i did a rewiring of my duo sonic last summer and i tested the electronics before screwing in the pickguard and it was okay however once i screwed the pickguard on and strung her up nothing was coming through. through trial and error i figured out that i put the toggle switch upside down! something about it being upside down lead it to short out once the electronics were snug inside the cavity. i flipped the switch around and she’s been rocking out ever since 🤟🏻 so maybe you could take a look at your pickup switches and see if they’re facing the right way under the pickguard? anyways it sounds good so far rob! i’m really digging it 👍🏻

🤘🤘

Great mod. By the way, what amp do you use? Your sound's so~~~ good.

Hi Rob, guitar looks stunning! Sorry to hear about the wiring problems, I've been having very similar issues with my jaguar, the bridge position coil split roller is stuck in single coil mode no matter where it is moved. I'm getting it fixed on Tuesday, I think it's just a bad solder joint. Guitar sounds ok, nothing personal to that guitar but to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of how any mustangs sound. I much prefer the sound of jags with humbuckers 😂, I'm busting to get my hands on the Cobain signature lol. Also what do you think of the squire classic vibe telecaster? I want to get a sunburst one with double binding and get a Seymour Duncan Hotrail in the bridge, I think it will be awsome! I played a cheaper fender tele in a local guitar shop and I think I've got a weakness for them 😂

Would it be possible to do a jaguar Kurt Cobain budget build and add some humbuckers anything is possible just an idea I came up with?

I want one

looks great also sounds same as fender

Ah now this has just reminded , some people "twist" the wires together then solder , others just a blob of solder on each...does it make any difference as to how you do it ???...thanks Rob

Hey man, cool vids. One thing, strings are 10-52 if you wanna get Kurt's sound ! Cheers

Getting there, a bit more tinkering she'll be good.

Why did they discontinue the Kurt Cobain mustang?as nirvana fan myself I would have wanted it to have in my collection of guitars instead of having to redo everything with the squier

Well done. I once put a Seymour Duncan JB jr. in a Japanese Fender Competition Mustang, but the result was rather disappointing. It sounded dull and lifeless.

I have a question, i have a bullet Mustang with the same tremolo that you're showing, if i use the tremolo bar should i use top wraping for the strings or just normally like you put in this Mustang? Awesome video btw!🤘🏻 🤘🏻

it is almost 2021 and squier didnt release left handed versions of these :(

Hi Mister Manifesto, i'm tired boying expensive guitar, i'm thinking about taking one squier en put good pick up. What's your opinion on your squier mustang with JB ? Great chanel by the way ! greeting from Quebec

i need the soldering paper. where do i get this?

Did you use a 250k pot for the humbucker?

If I wanted to do a Gibson style 3 way switch it would be a whole lot easier on the wiring right?

Looks good, strings need to come through the other side of the bridge and back under the cigar though!

Hey I'm doing a jagstang project and was wondering if it is possible to wire the same you are doing here.

Is this a keeper because of the sentimental value. If you were to sell how much would you sell this for

what wiring diagram did you use?

😋

How do I fix the problem of the humbucker down switch when it’s down sounds light for some reason so any help?

No idea why people use cloth wire. It makes no difference and is a pain to work with. That and 80% of the wire was normal pvc anyway!!

So you built a guitar that don't work properly maybe you should do part 6 on how to fix the the switch for the bridge humbucker no hate but dude this is more of a video on how to build a mustang that don't work
