Mustang Reissues? '69 v. '65? Why?

'65 ri all the way.
I owned a '73 ri about year back which i think is a identical to the '69 ri apart from the finish.
The '65 i played just felt like a better guitar. Better neck, better pups, bonartown tuners and i loved the slab body.

Slab body is the only way to go with these.

'65 = Daphne Blue
'69 = Sonic Blue

i must admit i find it quite hard to tell the difference. apparently this is both side by side:

i've seen vintage sonic blues that look grey and daphnes that look green. fucks wi' ma heid.

Yeah but they mess the colours around, Fender now calls this Sonic Blue:

and this Daphne:

They keep mixing them up, fuck knows why. I prefer the colour of the 69 Mustang personally.

Understood. Then Amy's '65 was Daphne and not Sonic.

Still looks pretty close to me.

A yellow tinted clearcoat would get similar results, right?

when i think of daphne, i think of this:

i soooo almost bought that guitar, i was majorly pissed off it went before i had the chance.

How much was it going for?

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 5:45 pm

WHAT.

i'm sure i posted a size 29 FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU- style thread the day it happened. it'd started off at Â£800 or something and didn't sell, so the guy dropped the price.

i think i have to go and say a 65... why? because they are so good. i like my white reissue mustang...
with the white tone buttons... beautiful!

when it comes to features and equipment the 65 wins hands down for me, but i love the contours the 69 has...just like my mysterystang!
