'80 F-100; Stock Hardware/Finish?
Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2015 9:46 pm
...So my dad's recent acquisition is the below F-100 , which I enjoy thinking I have partial custody of when I visit my parents; at first touch thought it has to be the most comfortable, "familiar" feeling guitar I've ever played, and sounds great (worn, wide/flat maple neck, flat radius/big frets, wide string spacing, everything metal on it feels a cm thick and sturdy... Feels to me a bunch like a hot rod Fender Mustang with a Strat scale neck). Cool that I'm only a few miles from the factory too
I've got the bug; so does my Dad, who immediately purchased a Tribute ASAT as a display of satisfaction. I'm now more active in searching for another such guitar myself (if my dad doesn't trade me for my '66 Mustang )
Brought me to question whether the finish and hardware haven't been altered on my dad's example; I understand that there were many options/customizations available in the early days... Is it conceivable that the matte/stain finish and black (non-wrinkle) trim could have been standard to this guitar? Hardly matters to me either way, but the combo seems not to come up often, in online pics anyway...
