That makes sense... I started playing in '94 and remember trying out a MIJ Jag, MIJ Jazz, and Jag-Stang at my local GC around '96. Never saw a Mustang there, however. I couldn't really afford to start buying guitars until after I finished college in '00. So, I missed the brief window of MIJ availability in the States.

By the way, the Classic Series Mustang is still on Fender's website... for now.

I got mine as a refin (in correct Dakota Red)...1965 all-original in excellent condition, OHSC, from a vintage dealer for $875. Atlanta Premier Guitar. Google them and see if he can find something for ya.

Check out The Starvin Musician in Berkeley, Cal. I've seen two or three there each year over the past 8 years or so.
