todays progress on the bondo bodies

Here was the starting point of both
musicmaster from RobertOG

Mustang body I got basically for free with a neck. It's a 65 body, but someome along with routing the living shit out of it tried to carve contours, so I had to finish the job right, and carve it out. The routing actually went past the pickguard and control plate, so I just filled the whole thing up with bondo and re routed it. Now you cant tell at all

Starting point this morning

Matching headstock for the stang

Colored and cleared body, too bad I have runs from hell, just cant tell in the pic. It's way too cold for clear, I need faster accelerator

The mustang I'll probably finish and eventually sell. But I would'nt do that to the musicmaster I bought for a song from Robert. Thats actually going to be a future present for a son of a friend who I've helped take care of and babysit since he was about 1 year old. Hes 4 now so I have plenty of time to finish the guitar

I'm getting perverse thought's of finding a similar colour to paint my Telecaster. Imagine a bound Tele with that. Mmmmmmm. Tangy.

Looking good, dude. Man, I want a 25.5 scale Stang. With a good bridge.

The Stang bridge is good. Mine never goes out of tune.

Toronado Bridge is MUCH better.

It was crap from tremming on my Jag-stang, and I'd rather just have a hardtail if I'm not gonna whammeez.

Although I do quite like how the Stang trem looks, specifically the large plate..

Large plate is bonerpants. I hardtailed my Jag-Stang in SECONDS though as the trem was a waste of fucking space.
