i like to make stuff

Well, I’ve had this 1969 Fender Mustang for quite a few years now, and I’ve always wanted to restore it to it’s original (or slightly modified) “glory”. When I got it, it’d been “refinished” with some crappy clearcoat, and bad wiring.. I ended up using the sunburst system from Guitar Reranch.. I won’t go into the specific process, because I just followed the steps that they have shown, and it worked great! Much easier than I’d expected.. I got all of the chrome parts rechromed (thanks to Lor at jailhouse Choppers) and just got those in today, so I got it put back together. I’d also replaced the pots, switches and input jack, and all wiring.. Also a new pickguard (the old one was “modified” by the previous owner. I was really worried about the buzz I was getting in the wiring, but once I put the bridge and the strings on, it was just about completely gone.. sound much better than it did before! After almost 4 months of working and waiting (on chrome) it feels like I’ve been reunited with an old friend.. I love this guitar.. here are some pics..
