Scratch some finish off your guitar, it will look exactly the same then

Yeah but my guitar is missing the whole vintage thing..

that seems like alot, i don't really watch the stang market tho/
i thought one could still be had for 1,000 and less.

thats the canadien coin though its probably a lil' bit less here

That's about $1475 in American dollars.

Ultraviolence, all that vintage mojo nonsense doesn't make this a better guitar than the Japanese reissue that you bought. I actually prefer my Japanese mustang to my American one. That's why I'm selling the MIA, even though they're both great guitars.

I'm not saying it would be better. Just would be really cool to have

1,000$ for an all original 1965 mustang with hardcase?

On ebay I saw them going for 2000$+ (USD I think)

well i guess i can see an all og stang fetch 1500 with hard case but it better have the arm and bridge cover as well.
im not a mustang person tho so.... i guess my opinion is shit.

True, vintage guitars always have bonus cool points compared to modern ones. But if I had a guitar worth almost two grand, I'd be worried about taking it to shows out of fear of it getting stolen or damaged. I probably wouldn't even want to take it to band practice and would just play it in my room in order to protect my investment. Reissues are also good if you want to mod (or abuse) them, because you don't have to worry about lowering the value.

How wide is the nut on your reissue? Out of my two mustangs, I decided to sell the American one because the narrower nut on my '69 RI was more comfortable for me (weird because I have fairly large hands).

Width at Nut 1.625" (41.3 mm)

From the fender website.

I really don't have much experience with comparing the feel of many guitars. I'm not one to go to many music shops just to play guitars when I know I'm not buying just cause, I'm lazy, every guitar shop is pretty far (closest is steves, and that's 30-45 minutes away), and it's always too cold, too hot, or it's raining.

but from the guitars i've played I really do like the feels of jags, mustangs, les pauls (Especially Epi standards), and some teles (mim james burton, mim HH) and strats (MIA standard).

I think the nuts are all 1.62-1.68 something on all of those guitars.

I was most comfortable with the mustang though. I have baby shit hands, so maybe cause it has the smallest width at nut?

I assume the width at nut makes the neck thinner too? Cause i don't like really thin necks, I really hate Jackson necks. Ibanez Wizard II necks are nice though (pretty much the thinnest i will go)
