Love that orange! Is that original?

It's only too many if they're not different.

The neck is so ridiculously good. Not sure why I ever questioned the magic of the vintage radius and 24" scale.

Slight issues: the perloid is starting to flake off. The saddles are gappy. Set up is decent (I think it's got .010s right now). I don't have the right allen wrench to fine tune ...

the orange sparkle looks nice though..

Yeah. I almost picked it up just for that... who cares if it's a refin.

But they were asking too much

Love that color, man...

Definitely cool!

Nope. For that price I'll just buy a vintage.

I called Fender but they directed me to Gruhn Guitars.... saying they're more knowledgeable in vintage. Yes, you read that right. A guitar shop in Nashville knows more about Fender than Fender.

Pretty sure original sparkle finishes from the 60s usually have a standard finish, or evidence of other paint, underneath. That's just how Fender did custom sparkle jobs.

Also that looks like two indents, not a drip, and cracking like that is fairly expected on a well used 60s fender.

So there ...

Does anyone know if this is an original Fender color? The seller doesn't seem to know much about it... but I didn't think Fender did Mustangs in orange sparkles.
