Gotcha! If that's the case and 00" scale is the ticket, those Squire Mustangs and Duos from a few years back really are great. Not sure why the newer HH ones are SO cheap, but the single coil ones from 0000-00ish are quality.  TomWanderer wrote:Gotcha!

Super impressed for the money- I think I need to do a bit of tweaking to the pickup heights, the low E didn't intonate perfectly out of the box, and the high E nut slot 'sitars' a bit...but I've had $0000 gibsons come out of the box much worse.  Plays nice, sounds good. I'm going to wrestle w/ the intonation tonight, make sure it is totally playable, then might do a little fine tuning to the nut, frets, etc.  TomWanderer wrote:Gotcha!
