...I think you only threatened to give it the ultimate ugs by thinlining it, in order that people would be relieved enough when you didn't to not notice the goddamn bucker

Alright, it almost looks decent

I still hate tort on Mustangs/sonic/daphne blue, but at least it's brown tort.

And it hides the humbucker a bit more. lol.

nice 65 neck, dude...
I like that it says Body Contours on the headstock, haha, you're hiding the facts.

er- how did you fill the big fuck-off hole in it? can we see pics of the body on its own?

Amazing. You have brought this mustang back from the grave!

Any pics of the surgery that you did on the wood? I'd love to see 'em if you took some!

Thanks I guess. SO whats wrong with a bucker? I had to fill the massive hole with something?
BACK

FIX (cavity routed and fitted with a poplar patch

The contour decal is period correct and I went for tort as my Strat, Jag, Cyclone are all Pearl Pick Guards

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the bucker, I just hate them.

The route fix is actually really quality looking, good job.

So we can pretty much say that this Mustang has officially been FUKKEN SAVED?

Fantastic work - I always get all mushy whenever I see an old guitar get saved.
-1 for the 'bucker, but +1000 for the patch and finish job.

+999

Thanks I guess you all really don't like humbuckers

What the heck it's worth a shot

Still polishing but had to make a mock up to see where I am. I am relicing it to make it match the neck better , but still polishing right now. White pickup cover ?? anyone got an spare??? they dont need??

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 12:08 am

i just gave an old one away last week, unfortunately. bad timing.

that's a great job you've made of the body though, i think a lot of people would have been frightened of tackling it! well done.
