I met a guy on the train last summer who has an old fender mustang that has seen better days. I think it was his father's. I only recently was able to see it in person and get pictures of it.
It's got a huge dent, a big crack that goes half way down the body (it almost threatens to break off the upper horn 1/3 of the body- but not structural), a frozen pot, missing bridge parts, veneer style rosewood fretboard, missing nut, missing fender decal makes me think refinish, oh and someone hacked two humbuckers into it. It's grimy and sad, and I'd like to get more info so I can help him get it back into shape. What might that cost?
