My Christmas present(it's on "Lay-A-Way").

Nice. Congrats man. They're getting harder to find as time goes by. They're such odd guitars. If you didn't know they were actually built by Fender, you'd probably just think someone massacred a Musicmaster II.

nice. how much is it setting you back, if you pardon my vulgarity?

This one is a little beat-up so It was cheaper than all the others I have seen for sale recently. Interesting color too: Candy Apple Red over (Shoreline?)Gold).

Very nice guitar!! I have a LPB swinger currently. the base coat is probably metallic silver.

Thanks! Do you have a photo of yours? I would love to see it.

Sure...will post pics later tonite.

I know someone who has a CAR compstang, it's got a stock gold undercoat too.

I have never been able to figure out if I love or hate Swingers.

that's because that's how you make CAR. red over gold.

I've owned a few with silver underneath, apparently fender used both base colors for CAR.

What color is this one?

^^^looks like LPB, but it's hard to tell with the stage lights.

a lot of CAR is red over silver.

My Jag and Coronado have gold undercoats (both CAR, obviously). Dated oct '66 and jan '67 respectively, so quite close together. Perhaps they used different undercoats in different periods?

I think this one's one of the competition blue Swingers, which used the same blue as the Competition Mustangs, minus the stripe.

I don't have anything CAR I just felt like chiming in to say:

Stewart, you are a dick and I hate you.





Not really just FACK CAR CORO's and Jag's are so fucking hot.

I read an article or something on the gold/silver debate not too long ago but can't find it; from what I remember, different eras had different under coats but it changed back and forth a couple of times and it was uncommon to find undercoats that didn't match the 'norm'. I'm guessing they would run out of one color on the line and just switch to the other if need be, but everything I say is nothing more than speculation.

I'm in danger of becoming the CAR guy. The CAR guy is a dick. I don't even like it that much o_0
