1969 and 1970 had matching headstocks.

1971 to 1974 had natural headstocks.

Of course with Fender there was probably some overlap.

Yup there was some overlap, the matching headstocks have been spotted as late as August of '71 yet there are some as early as Feb of '71 without the matching headstock. Who knows why, just one of those Fender things

we'll see....I say that cos he digs the originals.

at least one of his is a re-issue. there was that whole thread where he compared the colors of them all.

correct, i think he has 6 comp orange ones, and 3 (or so i thought - perhaps he's thinned a bit) were RI's, and 3 were OG.

EDIT: it appears he has 3 OG, and 2 RI.

speaking of rodvonbon where's he been hiding?

Man, that's tempting. It's everything I wish my orange reissue was. Besides the color being more accurate, it's got the white decal that I love.
I think I really want to get it and the auction shows 2 available, but I'm going to mull it over for a couple of days. The price is kind of steep when you factor in shipping. I think I paid $980 including postage for the RI I have that was sent from Japan.

Fender (Japan) had the Beck sig. Tele too. IIRC, it was pretty swet, because it was the 60's style in blonde, which you couldnt really get from the standard produciton line, except for the american standard, but that had the stupid satin neck and fancy new tuners and 6 saddle bridge.

The translation on the Fender Japan site gave me a laugh.

also, BECK is an awesome anime, never seen the manga tho.

Fender Japan have done a BECK Telecaster for ages. Never seen a BECK Mustang before though.

Holy fuck, my band is called the Logographs now.

It's Japanese.

I FOUND IT!
chapter 98, or vol 33, or something.

Shit that's a sweet guitar... hopefully it will sell like hotcakes and Fender will never stop making them , so that I can snag one on the used market...

ah cool. the english translations have only gone up to vol 12. that's why we haven't seen the mustang.
