Nice mustang, just wondering if those 70's mustangs all have skunk stripe on the back of the neck? Does yours?

it was a stock finish from about 78-81, i think.

Yep, mine's got a skunk stripe... I've never seen another like mine, is it quite rare? In person it's a lot more yellowed but apart from that its in pretty good condition. If you look in the photos, (sorry I don't know how to post a pic and just make it appear in your post rather than coming up as a link,) but you will see that it has a jag/jazzmaster bridge on it... It's pretty worn and looks about the same age as the guitar but I was wondering if '77 'stangs did ever come with a jag bridge as stock? Or was this definitely an aftermarket thing? I've since put on a mustang bridge because I just think they work easier...

cleo or anyone know the story about maple necked mustangs? Was it only specific years?

SKC Willie · Post by **SKC Willie** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:37 am

Maple stangs were from late 70s. I don't know the specifics but if you were to put strat pickups in a maple stang, you could get a great strat tone, if you were after it.

They play and sound really well.

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:59 am

the maple neck was available from about 1976 onwards.

they're not especially rare.

they didn't ever come with a stock jag bridge, as far as i know.

Mine's a '78. It weighs a ton, the neck pocket is too big and the finish has orange peel all over it. I guess it's a prime example of those nasty 70s fenders people talk about. I love the neck on it though and it sounds pretty good despite all it's problems.

I agree with portugalwillie about the maple stangs, mine sounds quite different to my '66. I should do a comparison sometime.

Even the ceilings in Austria are made of snow!

LOVES maple. Hadn't really noticed that contour difference. Too many piles of guitar parts to sit down and look.
