If you don't mind me asking. Where did you buy that pickguard?

Holy smokes I have been holding back on buying one of these but after seeing this I may just have to pick one up.

I think Steve Turner from Mudhoney primarily plays Mustangs.

Congrats that is a great looking guitar. Enjoy.

that's a really pretty guitar. I find myself smitten by the red comp-stangs these days. Something really cool about them..

Thanks I am actually tripping out that I like it so much. The more I thought about what I was going to buy the Mustang made perfect sense. I have a few other guitars and ...

Thanks guys. I am really excited to get it back from the shop. It already played great minus the dead high E string I hope it plays even better once it is done!!!

So I took the Mustang into my guitar guy today to get set up. After going over the guitar he told me the tuning pegs are not original which I was already 99% sure they were not and it needs a new nut. It looks like someone was playing it strung up left handed for awhile and blew out the nut. Other ...

That is the one.

Thanks for the reply. But that Mustang was the first one I tried to buy. The one I bought is in the 4th from last photo in your Dallas guitar show picture thread. It is behind some other guitars. I think the one I bought was in better shape. Instead of a bunch of little nicks and gouges it has just ...

You try any of the bobkats?

No I did not. I spent my day playing a few Gibson's and then I went on the hunt for a Telecaster. Then I ran into this guitar.

It was ...

I could get it for $1700 if that is fair I may buy it. The guitar plays great.

Here is the Compstang

I hope this works I am trying to do this from my Phone.

westtexasred wrote:$10,095 ? Why so much?

The tag said "All original super rare color" I have no idea if that is a fair price it might be or might not be either way it is more money than I have LOL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

1,000 dollars for a fucking jag-stang?

I thought the same thing. I own a red Jagstang that was made in the first go around with that guitar. I saw that price and was thinking I could have set up my own booth with just that guitar and still made a killing ...

So I made it to the Dallas Guitar Show. There are not as many Jazzmasters as I was hoping and the ones that are here are over priced just like I was warned. I am glad I came it is good to see some old friends that came along. I did find one guitar that peaked my interest and it is a 66 Mustang with ...

The whole pre/post CBS debate makes me want to hang myself.


That whole debate deterred me from buying a strat for a while ... Then I said : " Fuck it ". :lol:

What did you end up with? After reading everyone's advice and opinions I have decided that I am going to buy the guitar that just feels ...

So I have looked into the custom shop program this week and I have decided I am going to stick with something vintage. The guy who was going to pick up one of my bikes today cancelled and wants to meet Wednesday. Hopefully he is a serious buyer. Also I have made my reservations to fly out to Dallas ...

If you you guys don't mind me asking what does CAR stand for? The 65 does look to be a decent deal like I said if the guitar is still for sale and I have the time I may run down to check it out this weekend.

Where are you located? An hour from Corona but also striking distance from SD? There is a ...

Posting links to craigslist ads and auctions is OK if you're looking for opinions....I think some people choose not to post links if they're thinking of buying something in case attention is brought to it and someone else snatches it up before them, but given the vintage collector market you're ...

The reason I brought up other makes and models is basically because my philosophy with buying guitars (and I understand it's not for everyone), is that because each guitar is a unique piece of wood with its own history, I tend to find cool guitars at local shops and decide to buy them on a case by ...
