...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.

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

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.
