Re: 65 Mustang NGD
The breakup on these pickups is really classic and tasteful. Bell-like would describe the cleans. Great surf guitar. Putting 52-11s on it made it happy.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Great! Good to hear. 52-11, yes. Rounds or flats please?

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Are there experiences with other years? Often for sale are the 1969´s?
Are those 1965´s especially worth to get because of their sound? ...I think so...

I've owned a couple 64s, a couple 65s, and a couple competition mustangs, and I also prefer the 65s. I have flats on it right now and it's a surf machine.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
The '64-'65s really do have something special in my experience. They've got the same quality feel as other pre/transition CBS Fenders and the same vibe to their tone.supersonicjazzmaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 11:41 amAre there experiences with other years? Often for sale are the 1969´s?

'69 compstangs are absolutely beautiful but between the poly and the firmly-CBS pickups, I have just not connected with one in the same way. I'm not a nitro devotee on new guitars and I don't know if it's mostly the finish or what, but that first year of production on the Mustangs is just perfect IMO.

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
Mustangs from 1966 are plenty - I'm fairly sure this was the peak production year. I have one from mid 66 that looks very similar to the OP's and plays and sounds fantastic. Some of my best stuff in the last years was inspired by/recorded with it (which is not much to say only that it's a great guitar). I also have 65 mustang neck on my Jaguar and it's noticeable how chunky it is. Considerably fatter and wider at the nut than the 66. I haven't played a whole 65 but I can see this kind of neck being a pretty appealing factor.supersonicjazzmaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 11:41 amAre there experiences with other years?

Re: 65 Mustang NGD
side note: do you still have your Staytrem Mustang Trem Arm? It seems that these are out of production now I am so glad that I got one years ago.Axolotl wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 12:23 amMustangs from 1966 are plenty - I'm fairly sure this was the peak production year.

^^^ Yes I do have it and it's an absolute game changer. It's so well thought out. Sorry to hear is not available anymore. What will I do If ever get another mustang, I don't know. Ah, Staytrem how I loved thee...
