currently not working but if all that needs fixing is the electronics, that's easy enough.

Awesome deal. Right out from under my nose here in Tejas. Maybe I will get lucky and get the guitar I am after. Perfect project guitar.

Looks rad - I love finding stuff that is just messed up electronically -- other stuff is scary to fix.
Is this your 2nd stang?

So I guess your completed 78 Musicmaster has an evil 78'mustang twin.
Lucky!

Awesome! Is that a Bartolini pickup in the bridge? Looks like it's been in someones garage for a while.

Their Bass pickups are good so I'd suspect that their guitar pickups are.

I like it!
My advise is sort the electrics, polish it, string it, play it!
