a guy locally is selling a blue comp'stang with a matching headstock that looks quite old. white button tuners. i think i see an F-backplate.
i don't wanna raise too much flags/attention, but i can't see no MADE IN JAPAN stamp on the neck...

were some made in japan, or is it an original? i asked for serial no.
we'll see...
thanks,

Pat.

re-issue matching headstock compstangs are called the MG73

they come in old lake placid blue, oly white (with blue stripe), capri orange, and CAR

the quickest way to tell is that a real 73 is going to have F TUNARZ with trapazoid white buttons and the MG73 is going to have white ovals.

REAL 73 TUNERS

obviously the mg73 has a black decal and the 73 has a white one....but decals on stock mustangs have been known to change so i wouldn't really put all my marbles on the decal
