New color for duo sonic and mustangs 2017
Hey guys just want to let you know i went to my local guitar shop and they have new colors for the offset seriesm in stock, so it's completely confirme there os custom limited edition colors coming for the current mustang and duo sonic.
there is a dark blonde (forget the name) shell pink, and a couple others i cant remember..
I'm so sad the mustang doesn't have a trem system... I've always wanted a shell pink mustang
anyways wanted to let you guys know!

From Dave's Guitar. Already sold, btw.
This... I dunno. It's not a mustang, it's a duosonic. But whatever, that's only a name. Shell pink is awesome, although I really wish they'd gone full Duosonic II aesthetics with a Toronado bridge and mustang switches. The Pau Ferro looks okay, and dye exists.
Anyone know what the routing is like underneath the guard?

Here's the post from July. With pictures. Some opinions, too.

I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

Seconded! Although why are they not doing the Mustang 90 in Shell Pink? I'd have no choice but to throw money at that.mbene085 wrote:Shell pink?

The 90 isn't available in pink? Damn. That's exactly what I'd want.blimpage wrote:Seconded! Although why are they not doing the Mustang 90 in Shell Pink? I'd have no choice but to throw money at that.mbene085 wrote:Shell pink?

I agree though that it's just a duosonic with cyclone aesthetics. Or a short scale cyclone with mustang pickups. Just a permutation of hardware and specs they've done before.
The shell pink is just begging for a big chrome dynamic vibrato, though. That would look amazing.

Really love this but for some reason I just feel the Pink isn't easy on the eyes. It reminds me of those bright neon color Ibanez's. Eye sores! Maybe if it was more faded? Need to see more pictures before final judgement. Still cool though!

Looks like the Mustang 90 will continue to be an amazing guitar that doesn't come in a single tolerable colour.mbene085 wrote:The 90 isn't available in pink? Damn.

That's the sad truth. Fender always brings out a product line and gives one of the models the least imaginative colors possible.blimpage wrote:

On the upside, both Mustang models share the same routing so one could go buy another color body.
