Now that's an interesting item.

This guitar is new old stock. 100 percent original. Unsold music store stock.

too bad it isn't the same color as the background.
by the way, i wonder who ended up with this beauty. it's almost as nice as that white one.

I'd buy it right now if I had 1500 bucks. That's actually a pretty decent price I think.

If it was a bronco I would be all over it.

i'd have thought the paint would have yellowed regardless of whether or not it had been played, no?

Doesn't the paint yellow because of UV rays or cigarette smoke? If it was in a warehouse or something it should be fine (unless I'm wrong )

How shit a music shop do you have to be to not sell something for over 40 years?

I think you're correct.

They must have lost it in their storage area or something, because if it had been on display for 40 years, it would be yellow as fuck. Still, how do you misplace an entire guitar? And how does a store that does that even stay in business for 40 years?

Ha! true. Maybe it's a parts master that they assembled for extra cash.

The logo placement on those looks abysmal, it's like mid 60's or whatever Fender started placing logos on guitars all cockeyed. I don't get it.

i think it looks quite quaint. but i'm biased cos my duo-sonic has the same thing. it would be ILLEGAL for me not to like it.

Broncos never came in that color combo.

Fredo has one though.

you could always just carve out the space for a humbucker, replace the neck pickup with um, a texas special, stick a strat vibrato on it and slap on some black housepaint. it'd look the biz.

nope

fuck you

never.

My Musicmaster is essentially that guitar, now yellowed (a la Ted Turner colorization). I have an ineffable, unalterable association with that color. It does make the guitar look like a child's toy though, or like I had parked a steak on it.

NOS is such a bullshit term nowadays.
