Default Look what the stork delivered!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!

The Champagne Jet has landed! It looks to be a very early Fender production model and has a few small scratches and dings but nothing through the paint. The hardware is also oxidized but nothing a good cleanup won't take care of. This guitar is definitely the perfect candidate for a set of Magnatrons, a Compton Bridge, and, if I can find some way to avoid drilling extra holes or at least hiding any extra holes, new tuning machines as well.
I'm going to do a quick test of electronics and then it's time for cleanup, a new set of strings and intonation. I'll post results later.

Lest Jukebox beat me silly, here are a few pics!
