At that time, "custom color" was anything you paid for that Fender could get or you could supply. Fender's lineup of Custom Colors were standardized later in the 50s.

I always consider a Fender to be a neck I've chosen, with a lot of other stuff stuck to it. The stuff is replaceable.

Way cool, Maddie. Getting a degree means you can manage and complete a project that lasted years. That, itself, is a real skill.

It's mainly the clear coat that yellows. Here's the poly clear coat on a '97 Fender James Burton Standard. It's lived in a case far more than out of it in a non-smoking home. https://www.tdpri.com/media/jbs_poly_darkening.39000/

My buddy did something like that to his sunburst '65 back in the 70s. We don't talk about that, now.

Yep. A stock Bultaco 360 may be heavy, but it won't break. Sometimes you win just by finishing when the light, finicky stuff has stopped after shedding parts all around the track.

LOL! Perfect tonal description.

If they were Telecasters they'd be Teletubbies.

You can spend less than half that money and get the same features and reactive load. https://www.tedweber.com/minimass/

Back in the 70s, my jazz buddy changed strings on his ES-175 once every year or so. He had lots of strings that had worn through the windings, constantly.

...and you're *still* not here. I admire your discipline and consistency.

If you get past their pretty boy new wave façade, The Knack played like a really tight garage band that knew how to write songs that grabbed you. I still think they were a fine band. It's the same principal as The Hooters who had an MTV-ready façade and videos to match, but simply added keys to...

1. Support? The screw touches it. 2. What "they say" is Internet BS. 3. They did.

Greetings. You'll need pictures and a price.

It's heartbreaking when they have to leave. So sorry.

That kinda reads like poetry.

Looks like a Squier Classic Vibe 60s in Burgundy Mist which is closer to purple than a true Burgundy Mist. The pickups have a "low wind" vintage tone and IMO are quite fine. You will never know how they're supposed to sound until you spend 30-40 minutes with a screwdriver dialing in the heights...

Yeah... that's typical Chuck. He could be a jackass.

I'll see you and raise you one. Edgar Winter's White Trash with Rick Derringer singing and tearin' it up on an ES-335.

Excellent! That's NRBQ's Joey Spampinato on bass.

Interesting! I have an 1970 ES-335TDC. Sounds fab through a Tremolux, Deluxe Reverb, SCX2 and a Tech 21 Trademark 60. It's hard to get a bad tone, no matter what the amp.

I understand. I was just too lazy to figure out how to come up with anumlautified character.

I bought an Epi Special I with a badly-notched lightning bolt bridge, though I could never tell if it was factory-notched or done by an inept owner. I used a mill file to take the saddle surfaces down to an unnotched state, maintaining the radius of the bridge. That worked much better...
