Seems yours is an early version with the more Fendery headstock.

Saw a blue sparkle Fernandes in a pawn shop not too long back. Paused on it then moved on. Think it was MiM.

Nice. I love burgundy mist and was in awe when i first got a Jaguar in that colour.
Reminds me, i gigged with it one night and my dad was at the gig. He said that brown guitar i had sounded brilliant (must have been the stage lighting), i was there "dad, its burgundy mist.." like it really mattered

Haha,that reminds me of my friend Chris's strat that was Burgundy Mist when I took this Polaroid in the 80s but it looks brown in the photo now.

Burgandy Mist always looks so at home on '60s-style Fenders with the rosewood boards to me.... Prob my fave of all the custom colours, thanks in no small part to that '90s D'addario guitar mag ad with the old Jazzy.
When I first got into Jaguars and Jazzmasters I'd open an issue of GP to this picture once a month and go damn near crazy.
That finish is the kind of thing that causes me to remember Fran's Jag, your strat, that one Mustang punkacc9 built recently (lol)...

i wish there was a way i could score a photo of it, but years and years ago my buddys father showed up some old pics of him with his 60's gibby 335 dot in burgundy mist. i can't remember if it was a custom dealio or a refin, but it was pretty fucking amazing looking on it. altho i remember the black headstock threw me off for a moment, but it still fit.

Probably original rob! Very rare. Gibson offered Burgundy Mist Metallic as a custom colour option in the '60s, much like Pelham Blue. Their version is decidedly heavier on the red than Fender's more violet hue, some examples even look straight-up like CAR, but I think they were applied as trans over silver in a similar fashion.
Here's a '68 block 335 (first two pics) and a '67 Trini Lopez. This finish frequently suffered the same contamination-induced blistering as those '70s silverburst LPs.

Haha, this pic is still lodged in my lust subconscious ('lustconscious'?) too. They never look as good as in that picture though, so I think it'll always be an unrequited lust.

Thanks paul! the photos he showed us were pretty old and had faded out so the color was more pinkish i guess. altho its been years since i saw the photos, i just remember one with him standing in texas or some place on the street smoking a cig,with guitar in hand and looking like a complete badass!
