You don't see alot of the Sonic Blue 69 RI's for sale out there - and this one is at a good price. It's not in perfect shape - but that adds to the vintage look a bit.

This is a Japanese reissue of the '69 Mustang. Specs are: Basswood body, Maple neck with 22-fret round, and Rosewood fingerboard. The color is Sonic Blue. I bought this guitar used about 12 years ago, played it for a few years, and its been in its case for the past 7 or 8 years. It plays great, I had it checked by a local guitar dealer the other day. Cosmetically, it has a few chips in the body that I tried to show in the photos. There is one about where your right elbow would be on the front of the body and a similar one on the back side at the same level. There is another small chip near the base of the neck. All were present when I bought the guitar. The body itself has some veining (like miniature cracks) but they too have been there since I bought it and don't appear to be any worse a decade later. The bottom end of the nut where the High E string sits is chipped off as well, but does not impact the string's performance. Also, the High E tuner is bent a bit, but still works fine. Previous owner must have dropped it, I guess. Comes with a black Fender hard case (I do not have the key for the locks). Also, I had the "wammy" bar for this guitar, but can't put my hands on it right now. Please email me with any questions.

- Fender Mustang '65 Ri In Athens Ga For $450
A seller in Athens, GA is offering a '65 RI Mustang for a good price. I would expect this is a CIJ model (Crafted in Japan) but it could be an older MIJ as well. I don't think there is much difference between MIJ and CIJ (though some may disagree)....
- Fender Jagstang In Austin Tx Area For $425
Jagstangs were only made for a couple of years so I can only imagine the prices will continue to go up on over time. This one is not perfect but a few dings just adds to the grunge aesthetic. Check it out: ********************* 1995 Fender JagStang...
- Fender Mustinag Ri - Cij - In San Diego For $400
This is the '69 Reissue not the '65 - you can tell buy the contour cutaway in the back. I prefer these to the '65 (probably because I had a real 69 at one point) but some people feel differently. $400 is a good price - though you'll...
- Musicmaster Disaster: Completed
Here's a long overdue follow-up on a post from a few years ago. I started off with an early 70s poplar Fender Musicmaster Bass body that had been mercilessly routed for different pickups and then apparently broken in half and badly reglued together. ...

Updated this post to a three-some - a 1971 Fender Precision Bass refinished in Sonic Blue, a 1966 Fender Mustang guitar, refinished to its original Daphne Blue, with aging (see the post on that effort in my archive) - and an all-original 1966 Fender Mustang...
