That looks like everything I dig in one nice package. Very nice.

Nice....

Great. Looking forward to seeing it together.

I saw that one on eBay - it looks like there may be a truss rod issue though. And all said and done I’d be in it for not much less than a used one goes for regularly- so if I must go that route I’d like to make sure it’s solid. I’d also prefer to find a rosewood neck from a deluxe. Slightly annoyin...

There's a maple surfliner neck on ebay right now. $150 shipped. Stamped Used on back of headstock but you can probably steam that out.

Okay, this is the last one, I swear. I've kinda been thinking a telecaster next anyway. I converted the body to a string through with a Wilkinson bridge, a set of Dimarzio Super Distortion knockoffs, made a black 3 ply pickguard, vintage style tuners, bone nut and a new decal. The bone nut still nee...

Nice little Musicmaster you built there, it looks super classy.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know to make a drawing for templates.

I always wanted to get one of those vista Musicmasters. Are those full scale necks? I bought one of the original pickguards on ebay so I could make one someday but I just haven't got around to it yet. I love how they mimic the Musicmaster bass. Very cool.

Always regretted selling my '76 Musicmaster back in the mid 80s. So I thought I would do this with one of the Bullet Mustangs. Still needs a setup but it nails the look.

Funny you say that. That's the direction I'm heading with the second one. I was missing my old '76 musicmaster. I'll post pics when complete.

Thanks guys.
Yes, I stripped the neck, tinted it and finished it with tru oil. I spent a some time on the fret ends and polishing the frets as well. The neck feels great now. It wasn't bad before but it needed a little attention. I was so happy with this one that I bought another one.

A while back Musicians Friend had a scratch and dent surf green bullet mustang for a really cheap price. It had a dent on the back of the body when it arrived but that was it. First refinish attempt was Dakota red but I screwed that up so I stripped it down again and went with Daphne Blue. Add a bri...

My nephew bought a Sonic Mustang and he said he loves it. I'll check it out next time I visit. I think he's wanting to put a different bridge on his.
We may try a toronado bridge if he's up for it.

I put a toronado bridge on a bullet mustang. The string through sounded great.

Very cool. I've never seen one in person but I've read that they are well made guitars.

You need a Kustom Kat to display with the guitar. http://kustomguitars.wordpress.com/201 ... stom-kats/

Definitely not a job for the faint of heart as NickD stated above. The link below shows how to remove the fretboard and neck from the body.

No, I wish I did. That thing sounded great. I'm on the hunt for another to fix up.

http://i.imgur.com/fxySy8S.jpeg Those really look sweet. I had looked at the Silvertone 1449 reissue at one time but was bummed to see it was a solid body. I'm still on the hunt for an original Silvertone 1448 that I can afford. Unfortunately the odds against me finding an affordable one grow great...

Love these, passed up a dual pickup one a few years ago (not the same model, but a similar Alden), wish I hadn't. Might start the search again at some point.. http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/3/jupiter.jpg Have been playing a modern Silvertone Jupiter reissue with Mojo pickups 'goldfoils that ...

Thanks everyone. I'm really diggin this thing. The pickup sounds nice and clean but can get nasty. The catalog price on this was $69.50 back in the day.
