I've seen '65 stripped mustangs for the equivalent of 400 pounds, so...

ooh, that's nice wood.

the neck is warped to shit though.

it's really quite a pity that CME is so expensive. Like sell flesh and organs expensive.

you'd think in a recession that prices on these guitars would go down, but noooo...

this looks like mine except in a far smexier color, but it has the weird metal tuners like the ones on my jagmaster. The neck is also dated earlier than mine but I have a lower serial# L plate than that one. Eh...

also wtf at the price

As promised, shitty pics because I'm bad with cameras. Also it turned out the bottom of the guitar had some fucking gross body odor that I had to detox. Oh well, I guess 350 was too good of a deal for it not to have some crap on it. http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2416/jag1.jpg http://img96.image...

guess what came in the mail today

im amazed how good condition it is considering its been sitting in a guitar center for some time

there are a total of 11 scratches. Other than that it looks as if it's barely been touched.

Pics later, brb playing the shit out of it

buy it for the neck

although that's still too much.

Good news: I got it.
Bad news: I have to wait at least a week for shipping because of the weekend, FUUuuuu

I cracked and found this on GC's Used section:



It's 350 + shipping. Worth it?
The guy I talked to said it was a 2003 CIJ, which was a bit of a WTF, so I asked for the serial number and got a 1996/7 one. Wat.

I am currently away from my home (and therefore, my Mustang, because my airline sucked) and I am feeling the depression already. I am hurting for something to play which I may or may not end up bringing back depending on how much I like it. My budget is 350 or so. What do I do? a) Get one of the Squ...

I'm not sure if anybody's posted this in the classifieds or not but I found this on my routine ebay search http://cgi.ebay.com/BEAUTIFUL-Sonic-Blue-Fender-Mustang-ReIssue-1997-/270599931976?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item3f01034848 For anybody that's looking for a RI it might be a good chan...

okay, that's great, no need to panic about getting conned. I got it for the same price as the used 65 reissue they were selling (sorry guys but urethane neck = icky), so I was a bit concerned that something was up. You don't usually see... 45 year old guitars in that budget range, and I tend to be a...
