NGD (Belated) 1966 Fender Mustang Daphne Blue- LEFTY

Post by wetbelly »

So I picked this pretty little number up several months ago, just finally sharing her with all of you. It plays as sweet as it looks. I tried to pick up some of the sweet vertical finish cracks it has, but the pics don't do it justice.

Not really. It's in super nice shape, so I definitely had to pay market value for it. I actually bought it from the same person I bought my '67 Dakota Red Mustang from, which was kinda cool to get them back together again. Now I just need a white one to complete the triforce...

Stunning. Daphne Blue looks its best on Mustangs and that's a perfect example of why.

Thanks. I know Nationwide Guitars has had this in stock for a looooong time, I'm thinking about shooting them an offer more along the lines of regular market value, since I don't think anybody other than the most hardcore rare body woods collector would pay that price ($3,999) for the rare mahogany body it has.

Couldn't hurt. They will never, ever sell it at that price!
