well it has been a while since i have been on but i founf out the year of my musicmaster and i was surprised im not to sure if the year is correct but i went off by the serial number and the site said it was made in 1955 dose any one have better knowlage of it or confirm???

Robbmonster

It's possible.

Musicmasters were first released in 1956, so I't not unreasonable to assume that they started building them in 1955.

If that's that case, then congratulations 😀

That's a beautiful Musicmaster,but it is not a 1956.Maybe 1966 would be closer.Actually,the decal on your guitar's headstock wasn't used until 1968 so it was probably made between 1968-1976. You have to take the neck off and look at the butt end of the neck to see the date it was made.

Looks like it was made in 1975.The CBS Fender neck dates are tricky read this article You should also check out Musicmaster/Duosonic Gallery

There is a a 1975 Musicmaster there similar to yours

A FrankenSonic of sorts. Not too sure on all the parts but i know the neck is a 65 Mustang neck, it has been refinished in 'Turbo Orange' like its Mustang sister model that i also own.

Plays great and sounds good too.

Robbmonster

That's pretty sweet. Musicmaster bridge, Bronco pickguard (I think), Duo config.

What's the story behind it?

Fran

I got it from a guy in the USA that used to post here, he did tell me a few bits but i've forgotten most of it 😆

The neck is stamped 65 and is a Mustang neck, im sure the body is Duo and the parts are a mixture. He applied the decal and refinished it the same time as my Mustang which i also got from him a couple of years ago.

you do realise, Fran. . that when you car breaks down again and you have to sell some gear. . . and you put that on evilbay (if you can bear to part with it) i am going to bid to high everyone will think im an absolute looney.

Fran

Haha, they are investments as such, you are potentially looking at a Ford Escort there 😆

My mum had one. D reg. It was only 10 years old when the paint started going matt pink. She then replaced with a 1.7 astra diesel estate from 1996 🤮

But we have a pimped up, bright red suzuki jimny now 😁

Since my dad's a car dealer, he'll give whatevers lying around. And right now that looks to be a 1992 BMW 520i estate 😁

Modern cars are like ipods... They don't sell you one ipod, they sell you 4 in 5 years. A car should last longer than 7 years.
