Members sleewell Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 some guy brought an old mustang over to jam last week, i played it an really loved it. i put up a few of my guitars for trade offers and so far am really intrigued by these two offers. first one is a 1965 mustang, but w non original pickups and tuners. not a huge fan of red guitars but owning a pre cbs fender sounds pretty sweet. http://s1140.beta.photobucket.com/us...view=slideshow second one is a CIJ mustang reissue. i love the color and pickups, would put in a tortoise pickguard. CIJ mustang reissue how much are these worth and which trade would you do? the first one would be for the studio LP and tele in my sig, the 2nd would be for just the studio. thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 I wouldn't do either trade. Prices are all over the map on vintage Mustangs, especially non-original guitars; you might end up getting a fair value out of it, but it's a crapshoot at best. I wouldn't expect to give more than $500 for the RI, and that's if I was totally in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Special J Posted October 16, 2012 Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 The upgrades on the RI aren't really worth anything, IMO. I agree, it's worth $500 tops. I've seen vintage Mustangs go from $700-1200 depending on condition and color. I'd rate this one closer to $800 maybe due to the non-original parts. I'm no expert though. I guess it depends on how much your guitars are worth, and how much you play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods rarely do much to improve the price of a guitar, and I wouldn't consider the RI Mustang an exception. With the '65, the best I'd hope for is a fair trade, and even that's iffy.

Members sleewell Posted October 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 16, 2012 hmmmm. interesting. i guess i just thought name brand pickups (seymour duncan, dimarzio breed) would add some value over the stock pickups but i do appreciate all the replies. thanks guys!
