Members Drifter182 Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 I do have to say and, I have no idea how doable it is, but the Fiesta red will look 60 times sexier with a matching headstock and if Travis can do it........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members intern Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] That guitar, i want it. Fiesta red is best with matching headstock. I will own it one day, either warmoth, or the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm not questioning whether or not I could manage to refinish a headstock... I probably could manage it. But I'd rather not refinish a vintage neck if I don't have to. The body is already stripped, so it has to be refinished. The neck still has the original finish on it, and it's in really good shape, so while I'm not going to go so far as to say it would be "wrong" to do it, IMO, refinishing it wouldn't make sense. Besides, getting a real / authentic Fender decal is a pain in the posterior. Even for me - and I "know people". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm giving you a non-matching headstock guarantee - it is NOT in the cards for this particular guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members intern Posted July 10, 2010 Members Share Posted July 10, 2010 Phil!!!! Did you watch the vid!! The matching headstock looks great with fiesta red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yes, I watched the video. Yes, I hate that guy for his speed and fluidity on the instrument. Yes, his Jazzmaster with the matching fiesta red headstock looks awesome. No, I'm STILL not going to strip the finish off a perfectly fine looking 39 year old vintage guitar neck just to re-paint it and put a fake decal on it.

Members Operator Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 {censored} yes. Fiesta red and untouched headstock is the right way to go. Don't you dare refinish that headstock. Everything you're doing is absolutely right. We had a couple Musicmasters/Mustangs come through a music store I worked at about 5 years ago, and they were so much god damn fun to play. I had t retune and test all our guitars twice a week, and in our meager stock, those were the couple guitars I looked forward to playing. I don't have small hands either; I play a 25.5 scale or whatever. They're just so much fun. You want write priceless pop tunes all god damn day.

Phil O'Keefe Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Old thread is old. Not only have I already refinished and completed my '75 Duo Sonic project (Sea Foam Green) and refinished the '71 Mustang (Fiesta Red), but since that time, I have also finished a Music Master relic (Shell Pink) project. While the links above take you to tons of pics of each individual guitar - "in process" as well as after completion, here is an obligatory pic of the trio: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
