NOW PLAYING

I am posting this thread in the Vintage (pre-1980) section only because I am NOW PLAYING my 1956 Fender Musicmaster - with a cool new strap that I bought myself for Christmas - because nobody else can figure out what the hell I really want.

Anyway, I would love to see what everyone is NOW PLAYING.

Nice guitar and a nice strap.
Free to those that can afford it, very exspensive to those that can`t.

I know I've commented on it before, but that Musicmaster is stunning!

Would love to have one despite their scale. Such fun, simple, classy little guitars.

Haven't been able to put down my 59 since it got a fret leveling (frets were a tad high for my taste). It's oh so lovely. Just jamming a bit before dinner with some friends. 8)

Just built myself a new workbench...the assembly and setup of this one was the way I inaugurated it. Am having a whole lot of fun with its first "test drive" (apologies to Will for using his photo, and thanks to him for selling it to me!). It's a '64 clay dot neck and a '66 body. A-width, just how I like 'em.

Indeed. Gorgeous!!

Is the yellowed clearcoat consistent over the whole body?
If I ever buy another Mustang it'll be one of these, preferably old enough to have clay dots.

Just out of curiousity, how much did you pay for it? (PM me if need be)

After all the effort to refinish / restore my 1967 Mory, I'm pleased to say it is absolutely one of the best playing guitars I've had. Can't leave it alone. Better than either of the others in this pic.
