I got a killer deal from McKenzie River Music on this stripped Musicmaster:
Shall it be-
Fiesta Red?
Daphne Blue?
Shell Pink?
Or something else?

Any hint of the original color under the guard?
Fiesta Red looks great on these!
Shell Pink.:yay
Peackock Blue?
I don't have it yet, but I'll post more details when I have it in my hands. It was most likely Oly White or Maroonburst.Originally Posted by Dave TV
Anything but CAR! :hee
Shell pink. Daphne would be my second choice. That'll be a cool guitar for sure, no matter what color you pick.
(Oops, sorry Fezz, I mean, unless you choose CAR. Then it'll suck ass.)
Shell Pink is my first choice, w/a light amber top coat. My next Strat project will be Peacock Blue
Possible mods:
Duosonic conversion, w/a Strat-style bridge/br&mid/middle p'up config
6105 frets & bone nut
Pearloid pg
May be this one too? Yes, it's a bass, but... ;)

It looks pretty good as it is now. It might just be the angle/lighting, but the natural wood looks light red. It kind of reminds me of the middle part of a three-tone sunburst :)
i bet this really annoy's you if your a grammar freak.
Yea, i like the colour of it in that picture. The grain looks cool too, imo. But almost whatever you do to it will look cool. Almost whatever. Theres always room for bad judgement. :ahem
Certainly I have an opinion as I am aand we all have opinions and well...but at any rate I VOTE FIESTA RED which would be awesome with that beatiful fretboard - and my second choice would be the Daphne
but go ahead do what you like 7818 you gonna anyways :yay
also the dual pups will be quite nice! Can't wait to follow this project along.
I know I will;)
But still like to hear what people think. And you never can tell... it could end up FRed!;) ;)
See that little nebula thingie right above the input jack? It gets really curly on the back. Who knows? Maybe it should be a Three-Tone burst!
If the choice is wide open, I vote for the see thru Mahogany Red.............
like this one........
Much like Keira Knightly's wardrobe, anything see through gets my vote
I'm intrigued by the curl you describe, 71818...if you do decide on a solid colour, we need pics before you finish it
i bet this really annoy's you if your a grammar freak.

Vreeble Blue ;)

I like the red/grain look.
But if you're pressed for time, maybe fiesta red...
with a random pattern of black and white stripes.

That red "stuff" that was on the body was very poorly done. It was more evident in hand than in the pics. The original color was Desert Sand (beige). The staining of the grain (who knows how many colors it has been? It looks like it had been black at one time) prohibits any trans colors at thins point.
Here is the neck, w/the frets ripped out, sanded w/my handy-dandy radiused sanding block from StewMac, & the fret slots resawn:
A close-up of the headstock:

The gouges were way worse before I sanded the fretboard down. Now the fun begins! 6105 fretwire is next.
Awwww ooohhh! That is SO NICE!! WOW.that neck looks beautiful now. You have made me rethink about my duo-sonic "1.5" project now.... I guess if the outcome ain't half as pro a job as that, it's not worth doing, as it has that historical value.

^^^^^^^^^^ What he said. Or Surf Green.
So far, so good!
Looking good!
Possible (but at this point, unlikely) pickguard material:
Now, that guitar would make a STATEMENT! It'd take some real cajones to play a guitar like that.

orange picks
:lol
I have a white pearloid one I'm probably going to use.
The abolone on pink (shell on shell!!!) is FAB!!! Go on. Go the extra mile. :yay
I know; I think it looks cool, & would have worked well w/a lot of those '60s pastel colors. The one I really wanted has been discontinued. Chandler used to make 'guards out of stuff like this:
When I found out they no longer carried it, I bought a couple made from other materials. I can always switch it out when I get an abalone one in the future.
71818, what is that pink called? It kinda looks "bubble gum" to my untrained eyes.
Shell Pink
Seriously good looking work... the pink is growing on me.
I have always dug the sound of a Musicmaster but couldn't get on with the short scale and tuning issues so whipped up this little beauty as sort of an "adult size" Musicmaster. Funny, I never considered pink, but it's starting to grow on me too.

The gold is pretty cool. I've got a couple of gold metalflake guitars myself.

Thanks Kap'n. It's what Warmoth calls "Gold Top Gold" and is actually pretty accurate. It's sort of a Gibson theme on a Fender shape. This guitar it's lots of fun to play just like a Musicmaster. People always do a double take and ask in astonishment why I didn't put the other p'ups in it, and why the neck p'up? Not the bridge?
Musicmasters are really cool. And like Esquires, they demand that the player be resourceful in order to get a variety of sounds out of it. Mine doesn't even have a visible tone pot! Simplicity!

Do they ever ask you why it's a 25 3/4 scale length? :hee
LOL! I don't readily offer that info fezz because then I'd have to tell them "it's beacuase I'm a dumbass!"
In all honesty, I can't remember if I did intentionally or not. I made templates to cut fretboards for 24 3/4" and 25 1/2" so I can't remember if I didn't use the templates because I wanted to suffer and do it by hand, or because I mistook 25 3/4" for 24 3/4". The cool thing about it though, is that a 25 3/4" scale plays very slinky. For some reason it's not as tight as a 25 1/2" scale. Could just be this neck, but Musicmasters play very slinky too. Hmmmmmmm, maybe I shoud try to find a Musicmaster p'up for it.
