That Mustang is lush. I love the Comp-Orange!!! What's the neck like on the one?

Typical vintage mustang neck. It plays superb.

if i find one for the right price..

plus since its a `68 neck and a 74? body i'd prefer to find a vintage pearl (as they look much better) guard for it

It always looks interesting seeing the way the Fender logo fits on the lefty headstock.

I like when they just have the "Fender" part on the lefty's. The model squshed in there normally looks funky. You'd think with the money they have, they could have a special decal made for their leftys. I have made custom ones to fit left handed guitars. Isn't too hard, basically you flip it.

Yeah. I think I've only noticed the full regular decal on the red lefties. The yellow and blue ones all seem to have gotten the chopped competition decal. Though I'm sure I've seen a red lefty with the cream decal too.

I guess Fender didn't have a standard for that kind of stuff. Who knows.

Comp Swinger. Long gone now but I've been thinking about a new one in Grabber Green with black comp stripes.
