Nope, I wish they were standard! Talked to the guy at Hipshot about this even ... Took mine out & gave them a right cleaning too. I'm not looking to do any reaming on my lovely creature of beauty. The only option is replacement with vintage lefties or putting on these heavy attachment ones that ...

Dang, from that video of how you felt wool I'd think these would take an incredible amount of time to create, poking and poking at each piece until it's in the desired shape and then molding them altogether. As the Beastie Boys would say "She's craftyyyyyy!!!" Def Fraggle-esque, some cute,...

Boyfriend walks by, sees the mustang on the screen "I dunno... I don't care how beat up a vintage guitar looks, it's gotta be functioning. I wouldn't want chunks of the pickguard falling off while I was playing." Me - "The pickguard fell off, he's replacing it." Bf - "Cool, ...

@ robroe - http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/fender70p95.php Here's a link to that chart. Claims to be from 1970 Fender Guitar & Bass Catalog. The chart includes colors for other models besides the Mustang, and I do believe it's referencing the Coronado II, Coronado Bass II, and Coronado XII whic...

Sorry I should have replied in one, my bad... @Mages - yes, it is indeed that crazy unicorn - a true 1969 vintage lefty Mustang Bass. It still blows my mind that after searching almost a year it was only 10 minutes from where I live! All stored away since 1974! Nuts! @NickS - Yeah, that's me there. ...

some peeps call the LPB ones burgandy because of the old colour chart typo thing, and others refer to the purply-edged ones as burgandy... I agree the old color chart thing, but idk if it was a typo truly? Up until 1971, the Competition Burgundy/Blue ones I've seen have all had purpled edges. (Some...

its probably really weird to say this, but the main reason i dislike maple is because I feel like it looks cheaper. For some reason, since there is no added fretboard it just seems skimped on, even if that isn't really the case. also I had a tele that was maple, and it always seemed more sticky tha...
