The JesusCaster just got a 65 Worn Mustang neck with a nice fresh refret job! This neck is amazing!!!! I really like Brazilian Rosewood! You can tell in the difference of how much darker and denser it is. I think this neck is more fitting on this guitar seeing how worn it is......

The Brown Bronco I've had for a long time and I've been slowly upgrading it over the years. The recent upgrade is a nice creamy pickguard that I bought off Billy 3000! Thanks Billy! I love this PG!

Nice. That Mustang neck looks amazing. I love the appearance of checked and worn finishes(they feel better too).

Totally agree! I got that 65 neck off ebay for $150.00 a year ago. It's nice to finally put it into use.....

I'm making another Bronco for Ebay. I have all the parts to make another bronco, so I figured, what the hell! Why not make another one. The new bronco is going to be Oly white with a Cream gaurd and black knobs and pup covers.

Nice, although I wouldn't sell it. I'd just put that shit together and keep it. Is it an original body you're using or one of the ones you guys make?

not a JESUS CASTER.


there aren't really any "caster" parts on it. its a musicmaster

I hate that movie, cause all the guitars are wrong and it bothered me. i couldn't get over it. Now people pay attention to stuff like that for accuracy, back then they didn't. Also for most of the movie he plays a CBS Strat eventhough he died in the 50's.

Gruhn had the actual guitar for sale from the movie. He says its a 68 enck with 70's body. They used a partscaster.

at least they used a strat and not a flying v or something.
i remeber seeing a shot of him using a late 50's musicmaster once(the real buddy holly)
i thought it rather funny cuz it looked so tiny on him, but also very fitting.
