65 Mustang NGD
I've owned quite a few vintage mustangs, but this one is special. Gorgeous woody tone.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Such a beaut! Of the original Mustang color combos, this is by far my favorite. Something about faded white and tort just gets me going,

Happy NGD! She looks a lot like my cherished 66.
Oly White + Tort = eh.
Yellowed AF oly white + Tort =
Hope you'll enjoy it for a very long time.

The tort on it is really subtle and beautiful, hard to capture in photos. they just don't make em like they used to in that respect.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Thats really cool. Talk about patina. Somebody played and loved that Mustang. And yes, most modern tort is poor compared to this (Spitfire excluded, of course).

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Nice choice. Ain’t free will grand? Had a ‘66 in the same color back in the early 90’s. Btw, how goes your fiesta Jag search?

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Jags are so overpriced right now. I blame the Johnny Marr model. Suddenly everyone wants one. I've decided unless I find a crazy deal, I'm not buying any vintage Jags right now. Having said that, I just bought that 64' jag off the BST. What can I say...I have a problem.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Nice! I had a Duo Sonic II from '65 that was almost identical to your mustang in terms of looks. It was a superb guitar ... one of the nicest Fenders I've ever played, though I didn't appreciate it at the time. I still miss that Duo Sonic...

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Aaaaaahhhhh! Your white one is too cool!!!!
If someone has got a similar one and is willing to sell/change, please let me know.
I love the look of Mustangs. I play mainly Jags and Jazzys, but Mustangs are always supernice to my eyes!
I have got two Mustangs, but from the 90`s.
Years ago I also had a nice old 65 Mustang. The finish was stripped down, but on a few points you could see the old white finish...
Years ago I was used to play nearly every guitar with 13-56 strings in regular tuning. (So, for surf music it is common to play thick strings...)
So, the Mustang was of course overstrained with my requirements...
It had a nice thick sound I remember... But it was unplayable for me at this time and so I sold it unfortunately...

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
That's a great-looking, well-loved Mustang. I do love the white ones, maybe because I've only owned red and blue, and the grass is always greener
'64-'65 Mustangs are one of the last bastions of affordable vintage Fenders. They have everything you could want - nitro, the same build quality, and essentially have flat-pole '64-'65 Strat pickups, which are revered pretty much across the board. I actually like the tone of those flat poles better than the traditional Strat stagger, so much so that I put a set of pre-CBS Musicmaster/Duosonic/Mustang pickups in my one Strat that I own.
