OK. Yeah, Bluesjay is a big seller. He must get them at shows and part them out. I just sold a blue body and black guard to a guy in Denver a few months ago. You can see a little of the grain in the back. The buyer seemed very happy, so hopefully he still has it.

yeah not the same one, the pickguard is in much better condition, the one I got has epoxy on the outside near the tuners and jack

Starting to take shape again. Just did a mock up/template with the old pickguard.

Any idea where to pick up a tremolo arm for a bronco?

i seem to remember someone on here modding a strat arm to fit. can't think who it was though...

Finally all finished up.

Just got it all set up and intonation correct.

awesome project. I have been wanting to build a Bronco or Musicmaster and keeping an eye out for parts on Ebay.

Wow, that blue with the mint guard is super terrific.

I like the project bronco too, but I could go either way with the black guard. Nice job.

Mustang.

I've measured my jagstang arm Vs bronco.

Same diameter, Jagstang/mustang a little bit longer, but perfectly acceptable IMHO.

then a strat arm shouldn't be that far off either. comparing a USA strat arm with a mustang arm; the strat arm is about a 1/2" shorter than the mustang arm at the tip end and 1/4" longer at the other.
