My thoughts exactly

There were a number of '94 / '95 MIJ Mustangs exported. There was a thread on here recently about them I think. But I've only ever seen them in white, blue, and red, just like the original Mustang. They all had slab bodies and veneer necks with faux clay dot inlays as far as I know.

Yup it is ...

Beautiful refin. I love the Fender F knobs too.

I just recently got this but I cant seem to find any 65 reissues online in black.
It definitely isnt a refin. Has anybody else seen this before?

Also if this is important, the guitar went completely silent when I put wire to the white pickup wire to the bridge

My Bronco buzzes like crazy when I have my hands off any metal parts. I have a wire soldered on the vol pot to underneath the bridge, a wire soldered from the vol pot to tone pot, and another wire soldered from the tone to jack ground. Anybody have any suggestions on how I solve this problem ...

Thanks for the reply, I'm confused though, how do you ground the shielding to the pot?
*Well if any of the foil is touching the threaded post od the pot it will be grounded.

Just tape it over the back and make sure it touches the old shielding?
*Yes, that should do for temporary ...

try shielding the entire pickguard and then make sure that it is grounded to the rest of the stuff. you can do this easily by taping some tin/aluminum foil to the back of the pickguard and then grounding it to one of your pots. make sure it touches the shielding that is already there. you could try ...

Yeah I think so, the wire is new and is soldered onto the bridge and vol pot pretty well. But there was some old solder on the bridge before that had a harder time melting, could that cause a bad connection?

An AVRI Mustang arm will fit the Bronco like a glove.

Dude,

you should've bid on that Bronco trem/bridge that just sold on ebay.

It was missing the same part if I remember correctly and someone paid $160 bucks for it.

Yeah it was also missing the ring that goes around the trem screw. There was a complete trem that was pretty rusty that sold for ...

My bronco is missing its trem arm holder, is there anyway to get another or replacement?
