Another BSB, using Leo Fender’s hand-written guitar finishing instructions and products made to his specs and part numbers. Just through primer, here. Very flat looking. It will be 3D like you won’t believe, shortly! #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarsetup #guitars #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #handmade #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOZGL6O9U2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I see why Fender stopped using these massive ferrules. There is NO clearance between them. I can’t believe I didn’t butcher the install and had the guts to even flush mount them.

This tool sat unused, new in the box, for nearly 3/4 of a century! …until I decided that a vintage bass build had to be accurate, even in places that could not be seen, once assembled. Did you think I would use metric bushings on Leo’s greatest invention? #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarsetup #guitars #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #handmade #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #electricguitar #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery (at Mojave Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp40jwjuQog/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mary Kayes! No clear yet, so they look a bit chalky.

For #fenderfriday we have a beautiful 1963 Fender Esquire Custom in its original white tolex hard shell case! - (Link in our profile). - This is one of our very favorite (and quite rare) Fender guitars; an original Pre-CBS bound-body Custom Esquire. In 1959 Fender decided to offer flashier versions of the plain-looking Telecaster and Esquire, their original standard guitars. These models had been available for nearly 10 years at that point, and perhaps thought to be lagging behind the sleeker Stratocaster and brand new liquid-sculpture Jazzmaster in eye appeal. "Two Fender Favorites have a startling new look" exclaimed the 1959 brochure.- - - - - #fenderesquirecustom #fenderesquiresofinstagram #rareguitar #leofender #solidbodyguitar #fenderesquire #solidbodyguitar #instagood #photooftheday (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0FLfAOaX_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
