This Bronco came up locally for $80 so I made arrangements to buy it sight unseen. I knew from the crappy pic it would be a project, but how bad could it be ?

So I went and bought it. I didn’t really look at it, just brought it home. Now it’s not like it’s going to be a tough project or anything, but I had figured on “cleanup, setup, new strings, good to go”……

yeah…. I was wrong.

Janky home “lutherie” skills that included….

bad/disconnected pickup with some Pickguard material...

Found what I thought was going to be an easy project …
