yes,it shouldnt have this plastic cover on the back. also the pick guard is from a bronco.

no that's a heavily modified musicmaster. if the neck really has a '72 date stamp then it's unoriginal to the body, which is from the late '70s.
and that decal is totally fake.

Oh gosh. The only thing good on that guitar is the neck and the case. (maybe the bridge)euan wrote:You suspect wrong.iCEByTes wrote:my suspect an adapted Strato tremolo route hidden over those acrilical protector in back

ok here's my best guess.
its a 76' (or later) musicmaster that some dumbass put a bridge pickup in. it says he fucked up the bridge pickup route on it when he made it. im pretty sure that bronco's and musicmasters of this eara weren't pre cut with double routes like the 60's MM's were...so this dude had to start from scratch and fucked it all up sanding thru the guitar. it also looks like he added an extra toggley in there too next to the knobs n shit. im scared to see what this thing looks like under the pickguard.
76's MM's came with pickguards that looked like bronco pickguards though...so odds are its not a bronco pickguard.
the neck is a mess as far as telling exactly what it is. it could be off of any shortscale guitar made from 72' with a early 60's decal on it

this post made me realize a little bit that dating modern fenders in the future based on standard things like headstock decals is going to be impossible. fender makes strat's with all kinds of variations right now.

FFS, who's trying to get in the classifieds now? and should i mark all forums read rather than trawl through dozens of 'wow great guitr' posts?

Anyone taking bets on how long before nsv starts a thread in the classifieds?
EDIT - Lol Stewart beat me to it.

Not to fuck with the new guy/girl but none of his posts are more than a line, and he's bumping threads from a year ago.

Mike recently banned him, that's why his post count has dropped to 36. He deleted 14 posts and left these as a memoir.

Cool. I wondered why there was a page full of new posts ,on threads from a while ago, when I logged in.
Cheers Mike!

On balance, I preferred NSV. Mike, can we swap him?
