New Old Guitar Day! And it's a shortscale too!

1963 Alden Stratotone.







Original wiring and pickup.

Amazing work. It looks so good.

Friday neck.

I like it. It reminds me of the 40 Watt for reasons I can't explain.

Incredible stuff as always! Now it’s time for a 19” Scale Mini Fender Marauder complete with all the crazy wiring and plates jammed onto a tiny body I've just got where I can wire a single pickup consistently. My 2 pickups with a toggle switch is hit or miss. I believe I'll leave the mini Fender Ma...

Thanks! It was a wee bit of fun to build.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if you're asking how but if you are. I like to use a round file and just turn it counterclockwise alternating from front to back until the opening is wide enough to accommodate the pot. Everything stays centered and looks clean. http://i.imgur.com/XFCTjNCl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8dRZYNH...

It started when I saw this abused little 19" scale neck on ebay. It's from an Epiphone wee vee. At $20 bucks I couldn't pass it up and the wheels were already turning. http://i.imgur.com/6J4hIAyl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YtTknSRl.jpg After a little sanding, leveling the fretboard and new frets. h...

The finish looks great in pics- for that rustoleum did the satin polish to gloss or did you need to use clear? Or is it more satin in person than the pics let on? The mango body has satin color and satin or matte clear. Back when I did the surf green I was using reranch color and clear but wasn't b...

Thanks Thom!

Hey sunshiner, found pics of the mini humbucker build.





That neck was a big surprise once it was refinished. It was a mini strat neck as well.

Thanks guys!
sunshiner, that surf green mini humbucker build was years back. I had forgot about that one.
You still have those young brain cells working for you.

It's a Mini Strat neck, 22.75" scale.

Started this one back awhile and I finally found the time to finish it. I seem to go back to the early musicmaster / duo sonic style builds a lot. It's a fun sleeper guitar with a pretty mean growl. http://i.imgur.com/9LFsVGGl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/twQaJ2dl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/czozMI2l.jpg http:...

I had a bronco and the threaded posts were actually threaded into the wood body with no inserts. I can't remember what year model it was but it looked to be stock.

Here's a few things in red you can pick up at the hardware store, except the Floyd Rose trem posts. The small Floyd Rose trem posts will work if you do a new build. If it's a vintage body you would need to fill the holes and redrill. Fender Bronco Tremolo Parts List 092254 000 Bridge Base Plate (Top...

How about a Mango Musicmaster. I've had this one in the works for awhile. Just need to cut the bone nut, strings and and do a setup.

That looks great.

Classy tele.

What was the name and brand was the paint?

I used this with Krylon Matte Clear on top.
