I'm a noob to the forum. Just bought my first Musicmaster.

Hi, for about a year, I've been browsing the forum and watching the video demos on Youtube from shortscalers. There seems to be a great since of comradery amongst the members. I'm aways in a good mood when I see a neat post on a project someone has put their heart into, or a video demo to help us locale disadvantaged internet electric guitar shoppers. I appreciate that, thank you.
Now on to the Musicmaster...
Blurry, but once I have it in my hands I'll take better pics.

Love it.
I'm one of the few that think black on red is pure class. Welcome!

Almost all classic colour combos are nice on Musicmasters. I think the secret is in the pickguard shape.
But yeah, sweet guitar and welcome to the boards!

Thanks man! I bet it will look better in person, and with a good wipe down.

Oddly it's the only shortie I've never wanted... I lean heavily on my bridge pups.

I've had two with bridge pup mods, fucking damn awesome guitars they were two. I had a black on black 78 with a Duncan custom 'bucker and it was my main guitar in the Punk band. Aug told me to burn the body because it had been routed, idiot.

I like the Musicmaster and welcome to the forum. For some reason, we have had a lot of '78 musicmasters on the forum lately. The more the merrier. I hope to finish my '78 Musicmaster soon. It's weird when guitars that are the same age as me are now considered "vintage".

Wow, nice guitar! I love the late 70's see-through red finishes Fender had back then. I don't see them very often.

Thanks again everybody, the guitar will arrive in a couple days. I'll put some more pics up here when I've got her in hand.

What's a fair price to pay for a late '70's Musicmaster?

Personally I don't know, but mine cost just about $600.00 all original with original hardshell case.

$600 is not bad if it's all original, especially with the original case. After market case can run $150 easy for a shortscale.
