The finish of the neck was also removed. I had the two necks made out from Finnish alder, never had it finished. I had several ot...

Fender Stringmaster parts

I'm selling the parts of a 1958 Fender Stringmaster triple neck. I bought it some ten-fifteen years ago but never got it assembled.

National Tricone 1928 in EUROPE

National Tricone 1928! No, it's not shiny anymore, but maybe a little buffing and polishing would help. Sounds excellent! No rattles or other noises. Cones probably not original, I haven't opened it.

Ray, the links at the bottom posts show no link to Jerry Byrd Fanclub site, only the HSGA page has the link but it does not work... it directs to "http://jerrybyrdfanclub.com/" which doesn't exist. Why not add http://www.jerrybyrd-fanclub.com/ to your links?

My '52 Custom has the same problem, the bottom (inside) neck sounds OK but the mid and top necks sound thin. I have been also wondering what is causing this?
