Here's the kinds of '72 reissue stangs he sells. Go to his store for the B&B jaguar
I hope I can get enough money to get one of these.

Cool username. It makes me feel like it should say "sonicmansuperb(deluxe)" but it's better slightly understated.

that price with shipping is what my original 1972 competition mustang cost me. not worth it just for a fancy coloured reissue, in my humble opinion.

Thats expensive! Why don't Japan sell to the US? That would be cheaper.
I payed $660 for my mustang+shipping to norway from Ishibashi.

I'm just saying it's a pretty good deal if you want a new stang with comp stripes. Especially since the Fender US price raise.

because Fender USA/Mexico doesn't want to compete with Fender Japan. so they only let them export certain models.

YAYYY It's the cheapest type of Mustang Fender ever made, for a grand. Or you could, y'know, use the money to buy a good guitar (accepting that while they're pretty nice in general, they're downright SHIT as part of that price range, just like the MIM classic series is now).

what do you mean? like an american jag or or jazz or something? or just pretty much anything that's like $1k+? HA HA

Shit, you can find vintage ones for that price.

I mean that if you have $1000 to blow and you spend ALL OF IT on a CIJ STANG because of the FINISH, you're a fucking idiot.

AV Jags and Jazzies are an even worse deal.
