Hello all, been reading this board for months and finally decided to post. Guess I'll start here.

Below is the '65 Stang with a Little 59'er in the bridge. Notice the mad fretboard mojo.

Just got a sunburst Cyclone off of Ebay, I'll be sure to post a pic of it soon.

Unfortunately...no. It belongs to the band that was going on after us. It's a pleasure to play out of, though, and the owner is friendly enough to let me borrow it if need be :D

Huh, I kind of dig it. Then again I admit I haven't had the opportunity to play out of a wide variety of amplifiers. What're your complaints then, Mike?

This is all but one of mine, HH Special (I need a white pickguard for it) Vista Jagmaster, 62 reissue with SD Quarter pounders, 66 reissue with SD vimntage pickups and all upgraded hardware and a sneaky 62 strat obv not shortscale. I'm not a fan of tort and if I could get a white or black guard for the Jagmaster I would. I probably have a couple of tort guards somewhere if anyone needs them.

i have recieved my first official vinatage fender, even if it is a "partscaster"
its still pretty cool
22.5 musicmaster neck.
59 duo body with bridge and guard.
re-finished in shell pink, i bought it off of bubbles for 600 and some change.
i had to do a bit of nut work and fret work to get it where i liked it, and it needs a lil more, but besides that its my new favorite.
Image
yeah, i took out the screws, im aging the bastards in salt water and pee
Image
nevermind the neckplate, im in seach of a vintage one, or i'll settle for the one im aging right now.
Image
the neck wear and tuner wear is SEXY! anyone got a 59/60 white head kluson for the high e?
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
pencil dates are so fucking cool.

Image
overal the neck is chunkier than i expected and the nut width is much smaller than i expected, i have not gotten around to properly measuring everything yet, but once i do i plan on making a repro neck to the same specs.

i think when you find some pickup covers that will be a rather sexual guitar.
