That route coulda been way worse... it's more of a "master bathroom's erotic tub" than a swimming pool.

Was the fb marketplace listing an accident or are you actually selling this already?

It’s on there and ridiculously overpriced strategically to placate an upset wife with a minimal likelihood of selling :/

If you eventually want to sell it, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to sell the pickguard separately since it fits the routs perfectly. You could sell the pickups though.

I really don’t have any intention to sell this for a while, if at all.

So, a minor update. I've been having issues with fret buzz, without any amount of adjustment fixing it. After screaming at the heavens for a bit, I left it with the tech at Walt Grace Vintage to take care of it while I was out of town in DC for a beer festival.

I got it back today, and it is perfect. Low action, perfect intonation, and he even took the trem apart and reassembled it to get it back to 100% functionality and polished the frets. It is 100% a keeper now.

Congrats!

I own two Broncos. A former black 78 (stripped before I got it) and former red 68 (also stripped before).

Enjoy!
