I still have a bunch of Musicmaster/Duo Sonic repro bridge plates if anyone wants one.

even the white / tort version looked cool. Squier really needs to make a fucking duo sonic with a toronado bridge like soon or at all period.
Was the white stock or a refin?
In America, we only got the Vintage white, black and Dakota Red. I posted a pic of a white one in Japan. It's probably a refinish.

the white under the pickguard is the stock white. its yellowed and heavily checked. so they repainted it white, over stock white, and then i had rodvonbon paint it sea foam green with 2 coats of amber over that.

EDIT: im thinking of my white mustang. i have no idea what color the bronco started out life as. it has the white button F tuners on it and not chrome so im guessing it was an early one (red)

man, that route was rough!

i still think i like the white aesthetic over the seafoam (we're talking 55% vs. 45%), but whatevs, it looks great either way.
