i have to repost this from the "post pics" thread.
i have recieved my first official vinatage fender, even if it is a "partscaster"
its still pretty cool
22.5 musicmaster neck.
59 duo body with bridge and guard.
re-finished in shell pink, i bought it off of bubbles for 600 and some change.
i had to do a bit of nut work and fret work to get it where i liked it, and it needs a lil more, but besides that its my new favorite.

yeah, i took out the screws, im aging the bastards in salt water and pee

nevermind the neckplate, im in seach of a vintage one, or i'll settle for the one im aging right now.

the neck wear and tuner wear is SEXY! anyone got a 59/60 white head kluson for the high e?

pencil dates are so fucking cool.

overal the neck is chunkier than i expected and the nut width is much smaller than i expected, i have not gotten around to properly measuring everything yet, but once i do i plan on making a repro neck to the same specs.

Beautiful. That color actually looks quite nice - almost like it could be original. Are you gonna put on some robroes?

O to the fucking G

ill send it out in the morning

this tuner was put on my jagstang around 1996 when i busted the high E tuner off. it stayed on that shit until 2004 when i found out they sold whole sets of new ones with white tips at all parts. so not only is it what chu need, its got 8 years of robro mojo

Beautifully feminine, and I'm just talking about the fact that she's a petite body and has such a beautifully slick neckline...Shell pink needs no extra words to describe the charm.

I'm curious as to how effective the saline urine will be to fry the screws.

This just makes shell pink even more my favourite. Lovely guitar.

dog piss works the best

lets have a dissusion on what kind of piss works best for aging guitar parts.

i havnn't tried cat piss. cats are kinda picky where they take a leak. at least mine are. if i tried to get them to piss in a bucket i don't think it would work

give me 2 days with any random dog and ill have a full bucket for you

How ya finding the neck rob? Does it play like butter and aid speed using modal improvisation?

freakin beautiful man

sk3p, have you smoked crack in the last few days?
thats the original metal guard, just painted white.
the neck is amazing.
its fatter than i thought it would be but its nowhere near a gibson styled neck.
if i play in indy, you betta believe i will let you know.
altho if i play in indy the i'll probly play with jack and jill and that will be straight acoustic stuff.
but if i know your there i will bring the duo.

always have your urine aged for at least 2 weeks before using it to relic guitar parts.
