Pics of Non-Matching Custom Color Pegheads??

[jim93]

That guitar has a few oddities about it

[WonderCouncil]

I think this is just a modded Musicmaster body with a Competition Red Mustang neck. Fender was using Klusons when the Mustang came out in '64. These are the F backed CBS tuners.

Not to veer off topic but you're probably right. Here's the back side of it with a 3 bolt neck plate. You can clearly see the original 4 bolt holes; also tremolo route


Still love the color combo on it though. Alright back to your regularly scheduled program.

This one would have made a nice refin project, with the matching peghead and all:

Anyone here snag it?

damn, that was a good price, if the spiel is accurate.

I dont know what to make of the pickguard.

I'm not sure if this counts or not as I think it's a prototype, at least I have it saved as "Fender Mustang Prototype". And I suppose it's not really a custom color but never the less I thought it appropriate.

Other then a black headstock I can't say there are many color combos I can think of that look as good as this.

You can still the 4 holes for the Musicmaster tail.

That must have been from that ebay seller who lives in Fullerton and every mutt he sells is a R@RE prototype (L@@K!)...

But back on topic, non-matching heads weren't uncommon at all until about '62. After that, we still see them but they are the exception, not the rule.

OK, thanks....
That's kinda what I needed to know, in a nutshell...

Ah, that must be a Mastery bridge prototype as well...

Im confused, is the idea of this for "non-matching" meaning natural head stocks, or non-matching meaning the head stock one custom color and the body another?

As the OP, I meant the former...

Thanks! Now all the posts seem appropriate

And I think somewhere in the early 70s matching headstocks were abandoned again (at least in the catalogs).

pre 1965 Black and a post 1966 Black (with black pickguard). Also a very rare 1966 "slab" P-bass with maple-cap neck!

I actually own this guitar, and it is a legitimate Leo Fender Prototype, you can find it listed in the book Guitar Legends, and it was even on a Fender display. This was willed to George Fullerton and the Willed to his son which is who I got it from. Its a 67 Musicmaster II body with a 67 Mustang neck, that is the patent for the three bolt neck I believe, and Leo was trying to create a tremolo that controlled each sting individually. I have all the paperwork on it.

That is awesome! This is definitely one guitar I'd love to eventually make a copy of. Everything exactly the same, only with a Mustang tremolo. It'd make a lovely tribute guitar that no one would know is a tribute

Do you have any more pictures of the tremolo on it? I'd love to see close up pictures of how it works. Does it actually control any of the strings separately? And if so, when are you going to do a demo video of it?
