No, I’m still here, busy with a little work. Well what can I say, each to their own, would you let a classic car rust away, would you let an old clock's face fade into obscurity? Some would, others wouldn't. I understand all the comments saying that it's a mistake to refinish the guitar, but I wou...

why?

too late, stripped Honeslty, the paint was in a bad way. Really not my thing as it was, and the value isnt a worry, as it cost me nothing.

Hi,

Who on here in the UK will be willing to refinish my mustang body? ( I know you all said not to, but I'm going to do it)

I was thinking Olympic white, or maybe sonic blue.

Cheers, Ian.

What I meant was, would it be better, as in truer to the mustang sound? I have never heard an original mustang bridge pickup so I cant compare.

Thanks for that, I will look into getting the fret tools.

The original pickup still works, but its in a bad way (rusty) is there anyhting that I can bathe it in to clean it up?

Do you think that the 78 Bronco pup will be better that a brand new kent armstrong pup?

The pickguard is sadly no more, it just crumbled away in my hands, im on the lookout for an authentic period replacement, there is one on US eBay finishing soon. How would a late 70's Bronco pup sound in the bridge position (I have a spare) Also are theer any tips out there for pup refurb? The orig ...

Looking at the frets, I would say that it needs the first five frets to be replaced. what do you think of the frets?





I think this is the 5-7 frets

Good work, I especially like the green.

The pick guard is dead, it just crumbled away to nothing. It's interesting you say aboutb it being in a flood, all the electrics are really rusty, could this be due to it living in the humid climate of Florida? STEWART- I see your in Edinburgh, om only ip the road in Aberdeen, any recommendations fo...

And here is the 'Stang. I have got new kent armstrong pickups, new tort scratchplate and new switches for it. I've given the body a light wet and dry and t-cut, it has come up alot better (alot of the staining appeared to be nicotene) What do you reckon I should do with her? Refin or leave well alon...

Here are the Musicmaster and Bronco, the Musatng will follow shortly.

Hi, I finally got myself a Bronco and a musicmaster, then My dad calls me from holiday in Florida, saying a guy has offered him a beat up 66 stang for $200!! Needless to say it's now back in the uk. It needed new pickups, switches and scratchplate. Is there any good places to buy original parts? Als...

I might have a bid on it, depending on how the price goes. (I will have over $100 to pay for postage)

Well all I want to be able to do is return this guitar back to a semi standard state. Will an original musicmaste briodge conceal all holes left by this new bridge?

Will a Fender Tornado Bridge for onto a 1978 Musicmaster?

Cheers, I really want either a Bronco or Musicmaster, but just can't seem to find any good ones, especially any in the UK. Do any come up in the 'Marketplace'?

I really wanted to 'have a go' for that Bronco, but the seller wasn't willing to send to the UK.

On a side note, what would you say a good price for a 77 Musicmaster (black, good condt with case) would be.

I have the option of buying one at £400-450.

Ian.

The bridge is also nothing like that of a Bronco, so got me stumped.

Vintange Fender Bronco Electric guitar

I'm quite new to all this, but isnt that something like a Duosonic boby on a Bronco neck?
