Hi,
been reading this forum for a few months and decided to finally register. A few weeks ago, I bought a 1972 Competition Mustang off Ebay and been in love with it. Recently had it set up for .011's strings and it is amazing. Other than a little fret buzz and a finnicky switch, this all original Mustang is still in very good shape and plays great!

Really nice Mustang. Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the forums!

I joined in a similar kinda fashion (ie after looking at it for a few months).

Anyhoo, let me be the first - but certainly not the last- to say... that looks AWESOME!!!

Teriffic guitar. Did you get a good deal?

Welcome, nice guitar. Where are you from?

Thanks for the welcome!

I think I got a reasonable deal. $960 plus shipping. I am from Portland, OR (forgot to put that in my profile but it is there now).
I have seen competition Mustangs for slightly less but this was in pretty good condition and the Ebay seller had great feedback and was very candid and responsive to my questions so I am happy with the deal!

aha, saw this ^ on offset the other day. it looks lovely, 1st cousins with my blue 72.

and i'd say that's a pretty good price you got yours for.

stewart,
LOVE your blue one. My goal is to collect one of each color but I can never find a Competition Orange at an affordable price!

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 10:27 pm

keep your eyes peeled, i've seen a couple of beat up/modded orange ones go for under a grand (in $) in the past 3 months or so. one was a matching headstock, one wasn't.

i'll direct you to the obligatory jizz-generating thread where rodvonbon shows off all his vintage compstangs: http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17716

recommended viewing.

Dig the color of those comp stripes.

Sweet guitar

kim · Post by **kim** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 2:32 am

looking at this picture again...i know i love sparkles and all but i think this is the hottest mustang i've ever seen...and i'm not even a comp stripes fan and usually don't like pearloid pg's. i think i'm falling for candy apple red or something because i was drooling over those melodymaker pics too. haha

i love 70's compstangs with non-matching headstocks.

nice guitar glitch; welcome.
