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.

Got strange answers from seller on questions. And he is definitely not shipping. Risky and szrange thing to bid on

Say more? I'm considering bidding on it (I'm in London).

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?
