What store are you at? Is this at the Lewisville GC? That vaguely looks like a Guitar Center carpet and I have never seen a Mustang at Guitar Center (which is really sad). If so they want $895 for it. That seems a bit high. RI Mustangs go for $1000. Get them down to $700 and that would be an okay deal.plaidbeer wrote:It was a 1978, much heavier than I expected, and had issues staying in tune. But, I liked the neck and the short scale. I was on the fence about my CV Duo-Sonic and sold it because it didn't get any use after I got my JM, but I could see myself being really happy with one of these.
What are some reasonable prices for used Mustangs?
the fact that u know what GC carpet looks like makes me sad...taylornutt wrote: What store are you at? That vaguely looks like a Guitar Center carpet and I have never seen a Mustang at Guitar Center (which is really sad)

I wouldn't want that particular one as it is oddly heavy for its size. I read that the late 70s models were heavier due to an ash body. But, I'd love a lighter one that's a compstang. In fact the sales guy is selling a red compstang for $600 (it was a reissue released in '89 from what I remember him saying). It's mint and he's the second owner, but I don't have any way of buying it right now.hotrodperlmutter wrote:for an early 70's one i'd pay like $700. for a heavy ass, late 70's in blahck? i'm not fancy on them so i won't speculate.

here is an example from a recent thread....astrozombie wrote:My 78 mustang is contoured and I got iit with a JB jr for $500.
Actually, it was more the shelf the amps were in and the fact that he lives in the same area I do. We don't have many small guitar stores in this area anymoreSGJarrod wrote:the fact that u know what GC carpet looks like makes me sad...taylornutt wrote: What store are you at?

just breaking ur balls brosiff...... the lack of small shops is very disheartening... Thank God St. Louis still has small-medium size shops.... but they hardly ever get anything new in so I feel I may be in the same boat in a few yrs.... I swear most of the small shop only stay afloat by tech worktaylornutt wrote: Actually, it was more the shelf the amps were in and the fact that he lives in the same area I do.

Not All Ash Bodies are heavy. They vary quite a bit. My Brother-in-Law owns a lumber mill and they make Ash Guitar stock boards which is his best seller. He only sells the lighter ones which don't exceed a certain weight, which is what he sent me. It could be ash, but the weight varies a lot from board to board and what kind of Ash it is.plaidbeer wrote:I wouldn't want that particular one as it is oddly heavy for its size.

yeah, but that's not a real mustang body. a really nice musicmaster neck, but it's just a partstang. i'd never pay more than $500 for one of them, even with a real fender body/neck.SGJarrod wrote:Young Robbie just sold that pieced together Stang with the Jazzy trem for $400 shipped
It's all good. I was just surprised to see a used Mustang in the locale. Kinda of a Unicorn around here. It's sad when the only shortscale in the whole store is the Blacktop Jaguar.(nothing against BT Jags) They at least used to have the CIJ Jaguar HH, but those are becoming rare as well. As if there are not enough Strats on the wall.SGJarrod wrote:just breaking ur balls brosiff...... the lack of small shops is very disheartening...taylornutt wrote: Actually, it was more the shelf the amps were in and the fact that he lives in the same area I do.

It's true. Aside from a MusicGoRound (part of a used gear chain), Best Buy, and the Guitar Centers, we only have four locally-owned guitar stores that I know of--Murphy's, Zoo Music, Charlie's, and Grapevine Guitar Works. There might be a few in Ft. Worth and Arlington I'm not aware of, but the lack of interesting non-chain guitar shops in Dallas and its burbs is a real bummer.SGJarrod wrote:just breaking ur balls brosiff...... the lack of small shops is very disheartening...

I used to love Larry Morgan Music in Garland. I bought 3 Taylors from him. Unfortunately, they went belly up after the son took over and closed shop. I really miss that store. His guitar tech opened up a shop on 75 and does repair work and classes.plaidbeer wrote:It's true.

this is kinda crazy... Dallas is way bigger than STL... we have way more than that... J. Gravity Strings, Acme, 2 Killer Vintage Locations, 1 Best Buy with music gear, 2 Guitar Centers, Eddies Music, Fazio's Frets & Friends, and at least a handful more not counting across the river in IL where there is another 10 or soplaidbeer wrote:It's true.

Here's where I'm getting the info regarding weight for some of the 70s Mustangs: http://fendermustangstory.com/default.htmhoneyiscool wrote:Aren't most Mustangs kinda hefty? My Mustang is definitely heavier than the two Squier Strats I have hanging around. Longer, too.
Anyway, I got my Mustang for less than $500 last year.
why would you want a guitar the won't stay in tune?plaidbeer wrote:it had issues staying in tune.
