Japanese mustang?

I recently went to a local guitarcenter and played around with a reissued mustang, and it felt amazing.

I like the tonality of it, but I just don't like the color choices. I mean, all three of them.

I don't usually care about color of the guitar, since what it matters is the sound of it, but except for this case...

so where can I get a competition orange mustang? I looked for several hours but I couldn't find one in a descent condition except the one in ebay

I also looked at couple of japanese sites, and I found 72' competition orange mustang, but made in japan. It had 24 inch fretboard but looked kind of small, and a poplar body. the price was 148000yen, which is about $1500.

so I was wondering if anyone know the quality of it and see if it's worth spending $1500

For $1500 you could buy a vintage mustang.

do you know where I can get one? either regular orange or competition orange will be good enough. one on ebay was $3000 but i think it was overpriced

$1500 would be a good price. The cheapest vintage I have seen is $1800 all the way up to $3200.

That's $1500 for a reissue, mind...

I think that it'd probably be cheaper to buy one in your country and have it refinished...
