Almost bid on this one... but the scalloped neck stops me. I hate to see all these old necks poorly sand.

Me too. I've seen a few examples of this kind of carving that have shown genuine skill &, dare I say it, taste.

It seems far less drastic (but just as permanent) than letting some chump loose on the band saw.

I guess it's a pity that such a lovely and early example of a Mustang had to be "tagged" but hey, I suppose the owner can do what he wants with it.

The price though!! What the fuck? You can get a gold guard Jazzmaster for that kind of money, and maybe even a 70s Mustang with the leftovers.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

I love how they numbered the pickups 1-5 (as if it was hard to memorize) :D

This one is kindof special originally an oly white with a tort pg that has been painted over.

But what is cool about this one is that is sen (not tamo) ash, instead of alder.

kinda drooling over it's possible grain potential.
