Too-Old Hi, This is my 1st. post, i'm new to the Mustang world, and need some info. I'm building a Duo from parts, and the ebay body i won may be unuseable. Can someone tell me the thickness of the body for a 1966 duo-sonic II body??? Thanks
robertoriginal those old bodies were especially thin.36.84 mm's is what i gathered fromy my body with the paint stripped off.why is the body you bought unusable?
Too-Old It appears to have sanded to remove old finish and when neck is installed almost all of truss rod nut is exposed, also i'm not sure it is a real Fender or a home built.
robertoriginal the neck pocket should be 5/8ths deep, and don;t forget that when the pickguard is on you will still see about half of the truss rod, maybe a bit less.are you usuing a real duo sonic neck?can you post pics?
Too-Old I gave up and returned the body to seller. It needed too much woodwork. Thanks for your responses.........
robertoriginal that sucks that it did not work out for you,if you are interested aug an I do custom bodies for people online.just get ahold of one of us!
