[Kerouac]

1957 Fender Musicmaster

Incredibly cool guitar from 1957 in incredible condition. This guitar has the original V neck profile that feels great in your hands and it has an amazing Gold Anodized Pick Guard. These guitars from the 1950's are a true gem and to play one is something that can only be described as magical. This amazing guitar also comes with it's original hard case from Fender® 1957.

 

[Chad]

yes please

 

[Guitar Heel]

I'd hit it.

 

[Elias Graves]

Looks fun. I'd try it.

 

[Flamencology]

Hot.

 

[Tig]

I'm not a fan of Musicmaster's, but I'd love to give it a try.

Wow, there are four '57 Musicmaster's on Reverb right now.

[Knox in Box]

No thank you.

 

[Coralkong]

Almost hot.

 

[Tiltsta]

Nah. Not my thing. Short scale and wildly curved fretboard radius kills it for me.

 

[Denverdave]

I'd like it better if the pickup was in the bridge position, but I'd try it....

Looks like a very poor answer to the Melody Maker. Pass. I'll take another Melody Maker, though.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Interesting as a piece of history, but not something I would want.

 

[Tralfaz]

Reminds me of the guitar I first learned to play on.

Sometimes I like a V neck, sometimes I don't.

:abby:

 

[DFB]

the volume knob is not close enough to the strings

 

[OGG]

Nope

 

[jelloman]

Not enough pickups...

 

[GreatDane]

I'd play it if I saw it in a shop.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

no

I used to not be into guitars like this until I saw Tomo Fujita play one at NAMM last year. He sounded cool on it
