WOW!!!


...and rkharper, you're SICK!!!
(but that's MY kinda sick, hell yeah!!!)

Have you done anything to the headstock? A spot of light sanding might help even it up a bit


Looks PIMPING though dude. Great job

and maybe put a new logo atop the old one, so it looks even righter?!

i wet-sanded it up to 2500g but stayed off the decal until i hit 2500. i dont want to lose any more of it if i dont have to. i did go over the entire thing with the buffer and compound but again went easy on the lower bout w/decal.

i suppose i COULD wet sand the decal completely off and put the replacement that i have on it but i just can't bring myself to do so. it's original man. OG shit is OG. some (more than likely) dead dude stuck that decal on there. respect the dead!

YOU NAILED IT loooooolll !!!!

this is so great. Like another post on here, my first vintage was also a Mustang, sold not too long ago...maybe a year or so.... this thread is making me tremendously nostalgic! You've done a tremendous job.

ditto. my first encounter with a vintage guitar was my friends fathers 72 competition blue mustang. my first guitar was a first run mim cyclone b/c i couldnt afford a real mustang. then i snagged a sonic blue w/red tort Japanese mustang WHICH i traded straight across for a black on black rosewood 75 mustang. loved that guitar. regretfully sold it sometime in 2002.

i need to get my old external hard drive hooked up. pictures galore of gear gone by and hundreds of pictures i snagged from ebay auctions back when ebay was still 'cool'.

stringing this up over lunch today. bought a generic neck plate and screws yesterday which will be swapped for a correct s/n'd F plate as soon as it arrives. pickups are en route, eta next week.
figured i'd set it up and get it as ready as i could. give it some tension time. been a long time since neck and body were together as one. almost shed a tear last night when i bolted the two together.

crappy lighting basement pics...

Tried to get a pic of the flamed neck. Headstock pic was best I could do. Strung it up over lunch today. Resonant little bastard. Tuners need some oil. Intonation needs to be adjusted a little better - ran out of time. Plays great. Will probably need a new nut OR fill & cut a new slot for the G as it buzzes on the first. Pretty rad opening the case and seeing this thing.

Stunning. Mine was a bit of an ugly duckling. Very old refin on a 64/65 L Series.







I loved it though. Great neck.

It shines beautifully. No overspray!?

Gav Haus that thing is rad. Love the look of it. The wear on the back is killer.

JoeySlush - Narp. No overspray. The back and sides still have some of the original topcoat. The front has a super thin layer left on it. Got lucky. Turned out better than I thought it would.

This is the only competition striped guitar I've ever liked, wow

Much appreciated. Quite a compliment. Wouldn't change a thing on this guitar.
It's a unique instrument unlike anything else out there. To me, priceless.

LOL
