Re: bronco restore

As mentioned, in the above edit, I disassembled the bridge again and followed some instructions on setup and what to look for. I don't think my playing style will put the worn post edges at risk of getting too problematic. Not worried. Restrung and intonated which is when I discovered the clipped tw...

Re: bronco restore

The bridge/trem seems to be in working order, but I'll need to order a bronco sized reverb handle to use it. I took it all apart and gave it a CLR bath. Shines up great! What's the best way to adjust the height once strings are on? It's a bit low on the controls side and fretting out those strings....

Re: bronco restore

There's a chip on the outside of the lower bout revealing black paint, and you can see in the neck pocket there's a streak of black that didn't get repainted when it was hung up to shoot. The bridge/trem seems to be in working order, but I'll need to order a bronco sized reverb handle to use it. I t...

Re: bronco restore

It's been refinished at least once and appears to have started its life black. It's also been routed and had the pickguard replaced by some place in Frisco.

bronco restore

pens hooked me up with an awesome bro-deal on a bronco he'd been holding onto as wall art for a while. based on the headstock serial, it's a '76 according to this site , which makes it as old as me! a previous owner to pens had masking-taped a polaroid (lol) of a horse (lolol) which i have removed a...

Re: Fender Bronco History

you're not the first i've heard say the bronco bridge is their favorite, and it's a shame with bona fides like that and the popularity of the guitar antiquity won't prompt fender to do a proper reissue. since it only ever landed on one model of guitar the molds, templates, and forges may have been ...

Re: Fender Bronco History

picking up a bronco is still a bucket list item for me. i've given up on the idea of building one as buying the intact bridges separately is almost impossible at this point. i do have legit bronco knobs, though.

Re: pictures of your shortscales

God, the Prisonstang - my white whale. Didn't it originally belong to Rodvonbon (or how was that?)? Rodvonbon had it circa 2008, then Mezzio, then Shad. Been waiting until I get it fully sorted before making its own thread for it, but this is how it looks now - hopefully I haven't ruined the mojo :...
