Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

First i thought about the Kluson MC6LN too, but there are two points that i don't like: The screws go into a different place than the original and they cost more than the ones i bought. As i wrote in a post before, i wanted to keep everything at budget. For that i had to get a replica Mustang bridge, a set of Kluson tuners, two roller string trees and some Fender neck screws. Now i still have some money left. I'm thinking about buying a Göldo Earvana F-Style NV41 F ( www.thomann.de/gb/goeldo_earvana_f_style_nv41_f.htm ). It's exactly 41 mm wide, so it would fit on the MS-60.

Hello everyone,just joined HBC having just acquired two guitars;an MS60 and 450SC vintage.I'd like to give my first impressions of the MS here and it goes something like this...btw I'm an australian living in Italy for almost 30years. I'm partly disappointed because the guitar that arrived was not quite the guitar shown on thomann's website.It has Roswell pu's not Wilkinson but most obviuos,the pu's are not parallel:the neck pu is slanted more ,however the strings DO run over the pole pieces correctly.I can only hazard a guess that the new supplier didn't do his homework on realising that given the narrow nut width the neck pu had to be shorter to maintain a parallel position to the bridge pu. Thankfully I'm pleased with the sound,the neck(very pleased)and general finish.The problem of the tremolo arm I fixed with transparent plastic food wrapping film which I also used to eliminate the clunk from the spring plate hitting the exterior mounting plate.Only interim fixes for now as I've had the guitar one week.BUYER BEWARE OF THIS ANOMALY.I'll post my first impressions on the 450 in that specific thread later. I'm very glad this forum exists A nice day to everyone!

Pups (Rosswell) on my lefty model are not parallel either. Never thought it was a problem before now although I can see the fender models and the original Wilkinson equiped versions had parallel pups.
I suspect the extra stagger is one reason why the neck pup sounds great.

A few degrees off. On my phone here (by pool in Bordeaux )so cannot post a photo. I reckon the two pickups are identically sized.
