What about the other Fenders?

[markb]

To be serious, the one "odd" Fender I'd really like is a Bass VI. Move the strings over one, add a top A, and voila! the best baritone guitar ever made. I found one a few years ago, hesitated and when I went back, the shop had closed down!

Did you know that that colour was produced by injecting beech trees with dyes? Scary, eh? Fender produced a whole series of wildwood guitars around the time of the CBS takeover.

yes I found out from the place I bought it from in 66.scary? depends how you look at it in a way it was very ingenious,just too bad they tried to copy a Gibson style instead of using their own merits/ideas.
also noted was it was designed by a former Rickenbacker employee(Germany I believe) that Fender aquired outside the box.btw they say it was from the Antigua collection.those that I've seen are some Ugly guitar(s) finished.they also come in red that when fades looks simlar to what mine does that has always looked that way from day one.

Fender Mustangs are great! Its like having a mix of Strat and Tele. Alot of people dont likethem because they dont stay in tune. Well you have to set them up properly or just live with the tuning problems.

I had an old original mustang, great guitar but it always did have a tuning issue, that guitar taught me how to tweak on the fly.

It was faded orange with a blue stripe

just annother example of "I wish I still had it"

I never owned a Jazzmaster until last year, and now, I find myself using it more and more. It's become my favorite of the three Fenders I own, but it was not without its issues and quirks, which I am still working on.

My JM is an MIJ, Candy Apple Red. The pickups sounded like ***-very weak and Strat-like, so I got rid of the bridge pickup and put a Seymour Hot For Jazzmaster in there. Now the volume balance is all off with the neck pickup. I spoke to Curt Novak a couple weeks ago, and might go with a couple of his pickups, which are hotter and evenly balanced. The bridge pickup is built like a P90.

Also, I had the usual problems with the low E popping out of the saddle, so I installed a buzz stop. That problem is solved.

I don't like the whammy bar at all. It was swinging freely, so I took it off, and a few weeks ago, the receptacle that holds it in has come loose under the bridge plate, so that needs to be fixed.

Other than that, the guitar plays great, stays in tune like a champ, and looks cool. I never leave for a gig without it.

Young and stupid has a lot to do with it. For some strange reason, I wanted to trade for an acoustic that really wasn't bad, but eventually I traded it for crappy Epi 335 copy and wound up selling it and the rest of my equipment. That was back in the mid 80's. I only started back about 3 years ago and still ache for that Coronado. I saw one on Ebay about a year ago that was the same color and it sold for almost $1,700. Too rich for my blood... :

My brother had a Tele Deluxe (the one with 2 humbuckers and a Strat neck) and he sold it for college money about the same time that I traded off my Coronado. I see they're selling re-issues at MF for about $650. Another duh move... : :

That was the kicker I was neither Young or stupid unless trusting your brother is stupid.let him borrow the SG not knowing he was going to let someone else use it that he never saw again either...very tough lesson learned just gotta say it from now on: No Way bro

In the very early 80's, I bought a 1969 Fender Mustang Competition for $200. One of the best guitars I bought. Very different from a Strat. I still pull it out once a week for fun.

Thanks... did I mention she is original? (exception: replaced the slide switches with Fender OEMs) I still have the bridge cover too, but I need to find a trem bar (lost long before I got her).

BTW: Stays in tune just fine.

I have an extra trem PM me.a tad larger than normal Strat trems diameter wise you can have.

Dinosaur Jr. founder J Mascis has a real nice one also rose sparkle in color.the orange one is nice too although most seen when they are are powder or baby blue.saw white one in one in a town by the Tenessee/Ky border.

I just got one of these. Awesome with mahogany body and mahogany set neck with two Seymour Duncan Humbuckers; reverse wound neck 59 and bridge Pearly Gates. Five way switch and coil tapping.

Very light guitar and awesome awesome tone. One of my best guitar purchases and totally consistent with my efforts to upgrade my collection of cheap guitars with some reasonably decent ones.

I will post some pictures when I take them. Strikingly beautiful.
