Music stang!

Post by robert(original) »

I have had this musicmaster neck for.... 15 years or more. And I'm positive it came from.someone in this group. About 2 years ago I took one of those economy Squier mustangs and completely butchered it. Added a proper bridge. Made a new guard and threw a single p-90 in the bridge. It has since become my number 1 RAWK machine.

I thought I'd already commented in this thread.

This looks brilliant. A hot and tapped P-90 would be great here. Full coil for something pushing a humbucker, tapped coil for vintage toanz.

This would be a far better addition to the Grandad's Secrets series or whatever bullshit Fender call their weird factory-modded guitars.

...out there, somewhere, there's gotta be a warehouse of lonely Musicmaster bodies with missing necks.

Looks like it could tell some interesting stories if it could speak. Extra holes, tape...?

Yep under the tape it has holes/ routes for more pots. It's been savagely routed, I guess it had a Bigsby and some sorta ToM on it at some point...

I had some remplacement saddles made, new guard and one of my beloved old DiMarzio SDS-1 into it.
It's my main backup guitar :D

very cool! even the holes drilled over the years like the Bonnie & Clyde car give it some some character.

The BroncoBlaster? You know, i was never really sure, but i THINK it was refinished. Also custom guard with Mustang control plate. But everything well done.
Picked that one up in Mexico about 15 years ago. Still love it, tis a keeper.
