Fender Bronco
From ShortScale
A Brief History
Produced from 1967 to 1981, the Fender Bronco shares the same shape and feel of the Fender Mustang but only had the bridge position single coil pickup and, what has been concidered the worst of Leo Fender's bridge designs, this unique tremolo bridge. Much like the trem on this guitar, the Bronco has seen no real success as a preferred instrument and are quite rare today.
The Bronco Headstock
The headstock and neck were the exact same as used for all shortscale Fenders built at the time. Same shape, same feel, same headstock size, same F-keys...everything. However, Fender/CBS did get creative from time to time and offered a slightly different style/size decal for the Bronco.
