$160, But to SOME defense its in pristine condition and can easily be sold for that if need be. The loaded pickguard was $160 as well. The $50 neck is really the saving grace in this project along with stewarts brodeal on the body

That gives me ballpark idea. I saw a Buy-IT-Now on ebay for $130.

I also saw this but I am not sure since my musicmaster body has 7 holes. Is this a 1990's Mexican Duo sonic bridge?

looking back in my photobucket, the old stealth duo's bridge had saddles that were not threaded and was mounted with five screws with the two screws on the bottom being on the outside rather than the inside like the one listed on ebay you linked to

► Show Spoiler

I'm not sure that one you listed is even a fender/squier reissue. My vintage bridge is 7 mounting screws just like your body does though

Would a pre-cbs musicmaster bridge be the same as Musicmaster II bridge? I don't think it's different but I wanted to double check. If I don't get the current one I am bidding on, there is a pre-cbs one on ebay.

They should be... Mage posted his mim do bridge in thee other duo build thread and it looked just like the ebay listing you long to. If you can stretch out, just get a vintage one and know you can flip it if you run across cheaper one or that youuuuu can add out on to thee value should youuuuu need to sell it
My ones freaking out when i type youuuuu lol

I just got a bridge for $107 on eBay. Based on the other parts the seller had., I think it's off 1966 Musicmaster or Duo Sonic II. Here it is.

Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread. I will get my own thread soon I promise. This is the hardest part to find besides the neck so I am super stoked especially since I paid for it by selling some pedals.

Nice score! Its all good information so keep it coming, I don't mind. If you cant find a vintage neck for under 250 I'd still recommend allparts. I need to start looking for deals on short scale necks again

I found someone on eBay selling the Allparts Jaguar necks for $123 each. They have 6 available. I definitely want one for my Mustang project and will pick up another if I can't locate a vintage one, though I have seen some decent ones lately. I prefer vintage neck on vintage guitars and new necks on project guitars if at all possible.
