Just redid my partscaster, it is the one on the left. I bought a new Fender green guard, a used Fender tremolo/steel block, a set of used lindy fralin blues specials with backplate, new fender logo neckplate and a mint used Fender MIJ 57 reissue neck on ebay. I bought a fender 5 way switch, 3 fender pots and a fender tremolo arm at the local long and mcquade. I already had the mightymite/fender body and a set of klusen tuners. I did the pickup/pot wiring myself, aged the PUP covers, knobs, switchtip and trem tip in a coffee/tea mixture for a few hours and had a local pro do the neck install, final setup. It cost me about 500 dollars all together and it is just as nice, if not better in some areas than the 1982/62 reissue standing next to it.
