Rare 1999 Fender '66 Reissue Mustang Factory California Blue
Here is a very cool old CIJ-era California Blue 1966 Reissue Mustang (P-Serial CIJ 1999-2002. The main Fender Japan Mustang run reissues were MG65, MG69 and MG73. Very few ’66 Mustangs were ever built. The ones that were built were solely for the Japanese domestic market, so you won’t see too many outside Japan. Most were finished in Fender’s awesome California Blue, the only Fender Mustang to be factory finished in this colour. To be honest, aside from the colour and the MG-66 designation there are not many differences between this and the MG65. It’s true to the vintage Fender ’65-66 spec, with the slab alder body, 7.25 radius Indian rosewood fingerboard, white button tuners, 3-ply pickguard (pearl) and F-stamped neckplate. This one plays brilliantly, very resonant with plenty of short scale attack. The rosewood fingerboard has some nice darker streaking in it. It is incredibly clean and easily grades as the best example of an MG66 we have had at Gas Staton Guitars. There are no big notable blemishes. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine, plenty of life left in the frets and no mods, breaks, repairs or routing. Structurally and electrically sound. A good resonant slab of alder for this one giving a total weight of 3.32kg. Complete with original Fender Japan period correct softcase and original tremolo arm. Built immaculately as you'd expect from Fender Japan. Blues are always difficult to photograph so please see the last two pictures for the best representation of the exact shade. Don't miss this one.
