Finally put this thing together after 5 years of waiting and working on other things. Also a youtube up of it now...
And here's the Youtube........it's got some of my old....and some of my new!
As for the Specs
1971 Fender Music Master
NECK: B Width 1971 24" Scale neck with really worn down vintage frets, Schaller tuners, string guides from a Squier Strat, and a nut from a Kay
BODY: Duo-Sonic II/Musicmaster Body
PICKUPS: Washburn MG-45 with the pole-pieces lowered (neck), Harmony Strat Copy single coil with Neodymium magnets out of a computer hard drive.
CONTROLS: 1 Volume, 3-way switch, clean and simple
PICKGUARD: TAP Plastics Orange Acrylic, hand cut by me using HAND tools (took about 6 hours to do)
PAINT: Krylon sonic-blue-ish color with clearcoat
BRIDGE: Fender Japan Musicmaster II Bridge (moved a tad forward, so it would fit the string through body holes left by a Brass 70's Badass bridge someone else used.
My wife talked me into completing it, really happy with how it came out. It's also super resonant and very light, and very loud. Not a whole lot of buzz either, surprising considering it has 2 single coils.
I just need to put strap locks on it and wax pot my nasty neodymium creation to stop the squeal and it's ready to hit the stage.
