that looks so awesome. Sunburst looks best with blocks and bindings.

I read in Offset that the cheap hardware weighs down your body affecting your tone.

This makes me really wish those 50th anniversary jags came in sunburst

flatwounds - they help stabilize the tremolo.

I second that. Pots are important, but that's mostly about their electric value. I don't think there's a noticeable tonal difference with same value different manufacturer pots. But if you feel better, do so. It doesn't cost the world to find out if I'm right. CTS pots are tonez for days. Only seco...

I would stay away because if he is claiming unaltered original hes either clueless or lying and his expectations on price are not going to be anywhere near it being a deal.

Isnt the kill switch stock on MIM

Nice

Dont Irish people pay Irish taxes on the money they make. Im not sure hes Irish.

Ive had a fender mustang and it sucked. The switches gave you unusable tones. It neede 10,s or higher becuase the 24" shortscale was to rubber bandy. The vintage frets and 7.25 fretted out always. Bridge was this stupid alien lipstick lever taht looked stupid beyond belief. The enlarged headst...

I think both could be original because there does seem to be a change from 75 to 77 since the pickguard changes from standard white to black and sunburst seems to be less common as far as what i have noticed

as far as the pics I have seen.

apparently other cases say victoria on the neck strap part

although still havent found a black style case for a 1965.

Does the 78 case have fender logo on the case?

I got this off the bay for 640 +75 shipping (He actually ended up paying 75 to ship it using USPS. I am sure he could of saved money if he had used FedEx) Seller didnt provide many pictures but I now have it in my possession. It was advertised as all original with original hardcase. I ended up havin...

Are you in the OC ? Lil hint of advice . I just moved here about 4 months ago to Southern California and I occasionally look for deals on guitars that fit my fancy . Dude , I haven't come across a decent deal yet . A lot of people here when it comes to popular models like say a USA Strat or Les Pau...

I thought tort looked best

not the greatest of deals but if you were going to buy one anyways

you could try steaming out small dents

I went with RS77M because I am okay with looser strings and just do EADGBE.
