Fender '69 Reissue Mustang, crafted in Japan 1997-00, competition lake placid blue. This is a very attractive item! The comp-stripe Mustang didn't become a standard model for Fender Japan for several years after this was born; this was ahead of it's time. The lake placid finish is a special-order rarity too; so it's awesome to have a Mustang with enough miles on the clock in this finish to see it starting to yellow beautifully to a deep oceanic hue. Aside from looking great, this has a lot to offer in tone and feel too. The smaller sized light body, skinny neck and short scale make it a dream to play; it's incredibly easy in the hands. The tone has that classic slap and thump typical of a Mustang; it's very charming and plays nicely with pedals. It's hard not to fall for this one!
