The Bronco is really cool. It's a '67. The original neck in the picture is completely worn out. It's naturally scalloped (dried out?). I'm going to see about getting it refretted. It has a great profile which I really like. The pick up cover is completely faded. The screws are all rusted. The pickguard is shrunk. It's my favourite. I have a '68 neck (with reissue tuners)on it right now.

I got the blue Musicmaster like that. I'm going to put a tone control back in as well as a toggle switch. I just put some compensated saddles on it yesterday. I'm going to change the cheap Select pick up out. Not sure what to put in it's place though. Maybe a Phat Cat. What's done is done. Oh well. I think it's still a cool guitar.

yea, I think it's pretty cool. you should just get a duo pickguard for it and make it a duo.

I've always liked the look of the Bronco vibrato.

My shortscale! And i love it, after years of being a les paul/tele player.

It's a Cimar mustang copy, made in japan in the 70s. There is a thread about it round here somewhere. Pickups are a red lace in the bridge and a light blue in the neck. Original pickups were super weak and mushy. It now sounds beastly. Oh and its heavy as all fuck, probably due to it being made of mahogany.

I was at the Guitar Center and they had a box full of clearance strings and inside was a set of these DR strings for $20, they are the "long life" version, basically the DR version of Elixer.

I dunno know...I've seen black before, my squier vintage modified jazz bass had a set of them on it when I bought it and I loved them, that also helped influence me towards these blue ones.

EDIT- OH YEAH!
