Wow. It is delicious but isn't that a bit steep for a MM?

that music master neck has the same 10-60 mark as mine, but looks WAY better, mine has no finish left and that one is still shiny.
sucks about the re-fin, but it is in great shape for its age, the price is a bit much still.

I'm guessing it should be more like $800

he dropped the price and relisted it.


ridiculous deal on a Bronco Body and Bridge. you basically got a bronco in the bag at this point. getting the rest of the parts is easy.


nice mustang here. check out the finish:


cool checking huh? must be nitro. but wait... it's a 1968...

didn't fender start using poly in '68? I think this must be one of the last nitro mustangs.

that musicmaster is gorgeous. A slab board always feels better to my hands.

What does 'slab' even mean? It's the one thing that's bothered me for a really long time as I haven't been able to figure out wtf slab means.

Slab fretboards are like on the left, veneer on the right.



For bodies, slab means no contours which is how early Mustangs came, with later being contoured. I have no idea how you're supposed to be able to feel the difference between slab and veneer fretboards, though. It seems to be a 'slab is better because it's how they used to do it' type thing like so many guitar mojo things.

My MusicMaster bass has a rosewood veneer fretboard and I can't tell any difference between it and my 'slab' fretboard guitars. A bit of a pain in the ass though as I have to replace the truss rod in it and I imagine the curve and thinness will end up making the job more difficult.

of course you can't tell the difference. IMO, anyone who says they can "feel" the difference between a slab and a veneer fretboard is full of crap. if you like one or the other aesthetically is another thing. veneer is a little more unique since, as far as I know, fender doesn't make them like that anymore.

Ahh! Cheers! I THOUGHT that's what it was, but could never find anything to back up my hunch.

wow i would have hit the bin on that bronco body had i seen it earlier!!!
