720p VHS FTW.

Nice work, I like it. Where did you get it from originally? And if you don't mind me asking, where about in Australia are you from? It doesn't seem like there are many of us on here and I'm yet to meet someone who is even remotely interested in shortscales, vintage or non. Unless it's a Strat or Les ...

I'm in love with this thread. I love my Broncos, this makes me want to make my own! Well done.

Hang on, he said an all original 1964 Musicmaster in gold and red, but isn't that a 1963 duosonic in gold and red.

I would love whatever that gold and red one is.

i'm pretty sure it's called "natural."

Ha! I got the 'blonde' term from SerfX on Twitter!

Some interesting opinions. It still seems as if no-one has actually seen a MG77 in the flesh. I'm surprised it's hard for you to get Fender JApan stuff. Is it because we're so close? Surely not. Plus the Aus dollar is amazing compared to most other currencies, now's the time to buy overseas for us ...

Where can you get vintage maplestangs? I've never seen one. Not even on eBay. Remember I'm in Australia and the only vintage things most people care about are Les Paus and Strats... sigh. I have seen a few Mustangs in vintage shops, but they're always overpriced and never in good shape.

So your "official Fender Dealer" can't or won't order them in for you?

What don't you like about it? I wrote you a Twitter so we could have more of a discussion about it there.

A lot of people seem to say how much they'd love a maplestang whenever they're mentioned, but there's only one thread that really talks about the Japanese MG77. It seems like they're pretty easily available, they're on eBay and a guitar shop here in Sydney say they can get anything in from Fender ...

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I shall share with the rest of the band.

The drummer is in another band called Outlier, I'm sure a google of Outlier+sydney should wield some results.

We just aren't sure of how we should classify ourselves, we don't want people to get the wrong idea or some ...

We haven't really heard that before, a lot of our stuff is dark(ish) but we probably wouldn't say goth. That song is what we consider to be our most poppy. We haven't been able to describe ourselves well yet, she's a bit more theatrical than just a band playing music, but we don't want to use the ...

Here's a clip my uni took of my group playing a gig. There's a few money shots of me and my 1978 Bronco and hopefully you should get a bit of an idea of how it sounds.

Humbug was brilliant and I like what i've heard so far from the new album.

Oh come on! I know you're as much an Alex Turner fan-girl as I am! I've seen you on the Arctic Monkeys forum!

Hmm... No-one seems to like them here.

If they were writing songs like their first album everyone would be complaining that he's writing stuff that he doesn't know about anymore. I don't think he hangs out in pubs and clubs in Sheffield anymore...

And it's funny that people say "they've discovered ...

Alex Turner is back to using his Bronco again!

There is a god.

Thanks for all the replies! They're a great help.

I've always been reluctant to start taking apart my guitars but i'll order some new strings and go for it. In the meantime I think i'll make a start on my strat or ovation viper.

WRT checking the tuning at the 12th fret, I saw somewhere before ...

looks like my musicmaster that i've never held but is supposed to be on it's way to me. o_0
When did you get a Musicmaster? Did you ever sell the Jag-stang?
traded the jagstang for this:

I want one!!!

At first glance, I thought of the old Futurama guitars, similar to George Harrison's early III.

But the closer I look, the less I think this is the case.
