If I had 400 laying around with nothing to do....I would probably buy it. Nice looking guitar.

Isn't that an amazing steal at $400? I know nothing about the Bronco line but it looks great and has a nice age to it. I'd snap it up!

It certainly is a beautiful guitar. I too don't know much about the Bronco, but from what I've heard out of it and the history, seems like a great deal!

Short scale, nice guitar. Single coil in the back. Was my brother's first electric. They're fun guitars.

Super-cool.

that bridge assembly alone is worth $200 or more.
not easy to find.
thats a refin w/ non original pickguard, but the guitar looks really clean.
id do it.

i have a 71- absolutely love it.

thanks!
thats a strat pickup, texas special, flipped so itll fit.

for some perspective on the bronco for sale-
i paid $300 for mine.
it had an awful refin, needed some significant body work (parts of the body had been removed lol)
and a refret (original frets were grooved to the fretboard up till the 10th fret)
it was missing pickup and pickguard, as well as the 2 trem posts.

took a few months for me to get it into the state its in now- but its real nice.

the blue colour on that is krylon blue ocean breeze- 2 cans, over 1 can primer @ $3.00 a can. im happy with it.

the trem is especially nice- its such a strange thing, but so smooth and stable.

Gary Busey played one in the movie, but Buddy Holly didn't really play one. Actually, they didn't go into production until after he died.

That Bronco looks great. Definitely go for it if you're interested. You're not gonna find a better deal anytime soon.

$400? Don't waste any more time telling us about it until you secure possession ... then please do waste more time telling us about it.
