This.
It's been to hell and back, has a real story attached to it, an above-and-beyond heroic save was made and now you want to make it common as muck. Keep on restorin'.

With a little skill, maybe you could blend new paint into the old (car bodyshops manage it!) thus saving most of the old guitar mojo. :P

Also;

Other than the turnaround speed , I'm most impressed by the grain orientation and the roundovers matching perfectly.

Thanks! I figured you would catch that. I knew I wanted the grain running lengthwise with the body so I measured the cut angle and transfered it to the
donor wood. I didn't know how the grain would actually match up until I started sanding everything flush. In the words of Mr. Petty "even the loser gets lucky sometime."



I vote for Daphne blue myself. I think punkacc needs a blue guitar. He's got red covered. :lol:

The aged white on this one is definitely not the original finish.
It looks to be about the 4th or 5th time it's been refinished and it's a poor refinish at that.

Change in plans for the Musicmaster/duo. Think I'm gonna do it in an off white. Maybe like it was.

Looks cool like that. Maybe some Danish oil on the bare wood. Road worn. I would name that guitar "glory whole."

I know a luthier who has at least one Mustang neck, I think 1965 and maybe a '64. I'll give ya his email and phone if ya want...he's in Conyers. Maybe you know of Peter Jones?

Found a legit precedent...

Just learned about a custom electric guitar luthier who worked up around the Seattle area until he passed, I think about seven years ago. He smoked big cigars and played his three-necked guitar as a one-man band. Gettin to the point here...He made a guitar with exactly this type of ergonomic "armrest" cutout. I wonder if a former owner of this guitar was from that region?

If anyone's interested I can post the reference to the article in a recent issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine.

Cheers,
Doug
