Ok. These don't pop up so often. Played a lefty -77 mustang in London about two years back. Would love to see some more detailed pictures. The logo seems a bit off.

Very cool and in great shape for a 75.
Too bad he won't ship it, he could get a lot more money for it.
I asked about shipping and that's his reply:
Hi, yes I would probably get more, but we're moving house soon and I don't
have time to find the packing and ship it off.

I also thought the logo was “off”. Poorly placed.
How would that pass quality control? Unless its a replacement one?

Because it was the 1970s and because it is a lefty :P

Google them, and you'll find decals ranging from this to this.

I thought it was overpriced. Last year a 1978 black Mustang with maple neck came up for sale on The Bass Gallery website for £1000 in excellent condition. Was very tempted but that was the most I would fork out for one of these.

He did a bad job replacing the tuners. The E string tuner seems not to fit on the headstock?
