 Ahh. The one from Austria ( I guess ) !?
Nice and it was priced very very buyers friendly, especially for what it is. I am still really surprised that it was on sale for quite a while.
Good for you!!! Cool 8)
I came SO close to buying that one.

Looks great Pat, awesome score

Just because this jumped out at me, is the trem plate not stamped...?

Rad paintjob though, great score!

Interesting to see that the neck was built/stamped March72, under the guard it's May72, i guess final assembly.

Sorry Pat, I can definitely see it now. I only ask as the plate on my '73 "MiamiStang" has a really shallow/faint stamp itself. Half of it is almost not there!

Is it a nice chunky (front to back) neck?
