If you have one of the early Fender Stringmasters and want some better leg sockets to get that good spread at the floor, you need to contact this man:
Don Burrows wingingit@adelphia.net
(440) 992-6129
Don made me five of the sockets with an 18 degree spread for my triple 26" Fender Stringmaster. I'm installing five sockets, so I can use either three or four legs.
They are not cast; but are machined aluminum. The threaded part of the socket is welded to the plate and then machined. You cannot even tell it is welded. The four-hole-pattern for the screws fits the instrument perfectly.
My legs have a 3/4" thread; but of course he can make the sockets to accommodate legs with 1/2" thread also.
The Fender engineers saw the need for a wider stance for their multi-neck guitars, and the single neck; because the later model steel guitars had redesigned leg sockets. The wider stance will make your guitar look better and it will be more stable. I even have 18 degree sockets on my Fender Dual Pro.
Don does a great job with legs and sockets and his prices are very fair.
