1965 L series musicmaster

Post by Face melter » Sun Jan 19, 2025 3:55 am

Hey everyone, long time lurker here so wanted to post my ‘65 musicmaster.

Looks to me like it’s lost some original bits, tuners look newer, jury’s out on the new tele style saddles, they seem to work ok.

Sadly all the original electrics have been changed out, it’s got a Seymour Duncan antiquity in there so sounds great still.

Plan is to get a new scratch plate and bridge pickup and turn it into a duo sonic. (Although looks like someone has taken a bread knife to the bridge pickup routing which is really weird?!)

Some neck wear to the areas nearest the fretboard which is unusual.

Loving it though and a great addition to sit next to my ‘60 Gibson melody maker

Ok, so tried a couple of times to upload imgur links to a bunch of photos, can’t get it working, guess I’ll go back to lurking!

Thanks so much for that, downloaded the imgur app and that has allowed me to get the link to the individual jpegs on my phone.

I’ve posted a few more snaps 👌
