Should I Get This GUITAR?

[ATR]

There is a lady in my town that will sell me a 1967 Fender Musicmaster for $300. It is in perfect condion, working and no scratches or dents. What do you guys think?

HELL YES!!! I don't even care for Musicmaster's but, if the guitar is DEAD STOCK, it's worth $300.00 as an investment!!!

DO IT.


I got mine for $150 at a Pawn Shop (mine's a 65).

They're fun guitars. I put a new Mustang 'guard on mine with a pair of Lace Sensors in it and turned it into a half-assed Duo-Sonic. It's a blast to blow people away with what's basically a child's guitar.

ATR, why do Fender Musicmaster's sell for so LOW, even when they come from the 60's??? I would think that they would be in the thousands, but what do I know...

To be honest, they aren't considered professional guitars, even when new. They were made for kids to learn on, basically, a first guitar. They're also very quirky. Mine, for instance is a 24" scale model with a tiny neck, very narrow nut, and 3 saddle, top-loading bridge. It's not the most comfortable guitar I own, but it's a blast to play.

Also, it's a hassle to get the intonation spot on on mine, and I imagine, on others' as well.

BTW, mine does have chips and scratches on the paint, and you can tell how Fender used to paint their guitars when they did them with nitro. I've seen spots of yellow and some white under the red on mine.

I'd jump on it.
