New Guitar Purchase Day...

Japanese Thunder Mustang copy... That's what im fucking talking about...

I’ve been dying for a lh one of those for so long. Now you can finally get lefty mustangs, but they’re way too expensive. Want a nice old Japanese copy.

A couple more..

So apparently, these were made by Mr Kiso Suzuki, a Japanese violin and guitar maker back in the 70s. Im expecting top quality here, and im pretty confident that's what im getting.

That looks sweet. And a really nice pairing with that blue Fernandes Mustang you just un-sold

Ha, yes absolutely. It'll be a nice pair to have. I love Mustangs and Mustangs love me.

Love it!

How can it be so clean? Such a score!

Ooooh looks sooo nice!!!

Bullet truss rod fuck yeah

Yep I must confess I love that.
I have bullet fetish apparently...

I’ve confessed I actually like truss adjust at the heel (so idiots have to think about it before messing with the rod) but I think bullet is the best way to go otherwise - easy to extract or notch to adjust, if the Allen grooves are stripped.

I like the way they look too

That looks so good!!

I think the adjust at the heel looks the best.. But how can you do fine adjustments without the strings?? You'd have to keep taking the neck so you can get it right

I mentioned I think the bullet looks cool - but yeah, I do think the headstock looks *best* bare. Basically I'm patient, and record the degree amt. I turned the rod. If I over-did it, I usually turn half-way back the way I went, 'half-way' being a diminishing quantity with repeated adjustments til relief is somewhere satisfactory.

(Truss rods are just something I'm unusually picky about - I hate when someone before me screwed up/stripped the adjustor using metric/non-metric/worn tools etc. Having a giant slot at the heel that is less likely to strip, and making it inaccessible/invisible to people who aren't looking for it is a bonus as a result.)

I prefer heel adjustment, but bullets are a close second.

All others look ugly to me..

Looks cool! Are there any Videos to hear how they sound? Very curious & interested!
