aw man, this was just too good of a deal to pass up.

currently not working but if all that needs fixing is the electronics, that's easy enough.

Awesome deal. Right out from under my nose here in Tejas. Maybe I will get lucky and get the guitar I am after. Perfect project guitar.

Looks rad - I love finding stuff that is just messed up electronically -- other stuff is scary to fix.

Is this your 2nd stang?

So I guess your completed 78 Musicmaster has an evil 78'mustang twin.

Lucky!

Awesome! Is that a Bartolini pickup in the bridge? Looks like it's been in someones garage for a while.

hah, yea, evil indeed!

Time to strip her down and see what's under the hood.

Their Bass pickups are good so I'd suspect that their guitar pickups are.

I like it!
My advise is sort the electrics, polish it, string it, play it!
