![]() ![]() I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. Ship within 1 business day-pro packing.Īll our setups are done by our in-house trained luthier. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking! ![]() I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. Cosmetically, it has light players marks all over (see pics). Classic black finish with 3-ply black pickguard. High E tuner is bent but it still functions well.Ĭhrome hardware with vintage grooved barrel saddles on the bridge. The frets have uniform flattening but no grooves and it still plays great all over the neck. 7.25" radius maple neck with 22 frets and a beautiful rosewood fretboard with Mother of Pearl dot inlays. Has all the vintage cool stuff: F neck plate and F tuners. It's a great player and feels great in the hands with its light weight (7 pounds, 2 ounces) and 24" short scale neck. It also includes a very cool '70s Fender coil cable.This is a vintage 1977-78 Fender Musicmaster in black. It includes its original hardshell case, and one of the latches is broken. The intonation would be better with a wound 3rd string, but it currently has a plain 3rd so you can bend more easily. Fortunately, nothing too offensive! It plays well with low action, and the frets have plenty of life left. It shows some signs of play and use, especially on the back side of the body and the edges of the headstock (see photos). This 1978 Musicmaster finds us in nice cosmetic condition. The result is distinctly Fender, but would never be mistaken for a Telecaster or Stratocaster. In combination with the design, the unique "angled neck" position on a Musicmaster subtly changes the sound. The resistance on this '78 measures 5.83 k ohms. But the Musicmaster pickup deserves more credit than it gets! It uses six Alnico V magnets, which give it a brighter, more cutting single-coil sound. The Musicmaster pickup was intended to be utilitarian-it's the same one used in the Duo-Sonic and the Musicmaster bass. It opens up wider stretches and bigger bends. In your hands, the 24" scale length feels effortless and playable. The pickup is also marked with an appropriate '78 date stamp. The neck dates to the 23rd week of '78, and the pots date to the 12th week.

Good old Musicmasters are too often overlooked! Sometimes simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. While the single pickup and short scale were intended as entry-level features, they introduce a different range of expression. It was updated in '64 to have the Mustang's cool offset stylings, and the Musicmaster remained Fender's low-price student model until 1980.
