yep could be... well maybe it'll look better after the sanding etc.

well of course it's not a collector's item. but i don't want it for that anyway. i just hope it doesn't take too long to "fix", or i'll lose interest as usual... :oops: i'd LOVE to FINALLY FINISH a project...

no it doesn't.

alright... the sand-fest (as in, sanding) / restauration has begun... :o

first the color and terrible logo on/off the headstock had to go. yes the headstock MIGHT have been reshaped. don't have another 70s mustang at hand to compare (and the '64s is different anyway). it HAS happened that logos (or at least leftovers of) have appeared down there.

well not this time. instead, and UGLY-ASS wood!? :shock: by GOLLY people it's aweful! but AFAIK there were no stock painted headstocks on mustangs anymore. so maybe that's the result of some other previous refin or something. i'll try to sand that down as well. or not. so the guitar might have a matching headstock after all someday.

for those that say "it's not even a fender neck", check this out:

no date stamp or so (normal for the era) but the famous TORRES and another stamp (seen a lot, but what is it?). truss rod works a-ok btw.

still on the hunt for a cheap 70s mustang body. i have no wood-skills or so... :oops:

i keep thinking about how cool it would be to put this on some sorta jaguar body, almost maverick/custom-ish, but without the hacked away picasso pieces. anyone maybe got time/skills/mood to do a draw-up of that? :?

thanks, stay tuned. i might continue this in the project/restauration section. my 6-week vacation begins in a week and i NEED TO GET THIS DONE, or i know myself, i'll lose interest and end up selling the shit.

help out please!

rock on,

Pat.

there's a few bodies on ebay, dunno what you're looking to spend though.

'67 mahogany here (maybe worth a pop just for the rarity factor of the wood)

'77 ash here

and there's a '65 refin here that's a bit expensive considering how bad a job of painting it he's done.

The headstock grain is odd. I would go with a matching headstock. lexx

Rob: Why haven't you fixed that mustang yet? I could've had it fixed 20 times over in the time you've had it.

I thought it was fixed, or the picture could be old.

DuoSonicBoy: Why didn't you read the thread when he fixed it? You could have read that thread 20 times over in the time it took you make that post.
