The Holy Grail of S10 is right here in St Neots

Postby JohnDavisStringsHere » Sun Jul 23, 2023 12:29 pm

I have just gutted this little guitar, cleane it up and re-rodded it plus changed the set up, has it ever repaid me for the TLC! It rings like a bell, pedal action is soft and light and so very fast, tuning is easy and spot on and I believe it to be a very special one of a kind guitar probably a sales promo item.... I don't know but I'm gonna research it I dont see it as the Fender "Artist" series, maybe they were the dummed down cheaper to produce than this ??

Pics to follow....See how they have incorporated the Ashtray into a full blown headstock.....

It seems I previously opened a can of worms on the Mothership

That is exactly how I see it Jon, underneath a litle dust and rust was a brand new 1970's Fender/Bud hoping to get laid oops! I mean played....... and if someone wants to come up with 1700 quid they can take her home...

well spotted Willie!, I appear to have got my pics muddled up there though I believe the Fender Bud be just as clean underneath here are pics I should have used.
