Just got my first Mustang

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the Jag-Stang forum and just got my first Mustang.

I just picked up a 69 CIJ reissue in Competition Red. Pics below (or it didn't happen).

To start, I have a really simple question. Looking at the "date my Mustang" sites, it shows two groups:

first, if your headstock says Crafted in Japan and the S/N has a P + 5 digits, it's a 1999-2002 model.

Or, if the S/N is P+6 digits, it's a 1993-94 model.

Mine has the Crafted in Japan marking on the back of the neck, not on the headstock. And, the S/N has 6 digits but includes a leading zero.

I'm assuming that's a 5 digit number and is a 1999-2002 model, but wanted to verify that.

The S/N on the back of the neck is P088152 (as shown here).

thanks for your help!

Woa, whats with no PU covers?

My guess is the previous owner was trying to get higher output, but I don't want to leave the coil exposed. I just ordered replacement covers.

I have same one and it's my favourite from my collection.

Thanks, Jean.

To my original question - with the P088152 serial number - can I assume this is a 1999-2002 timeframe reissue, or might it be an earlier 1994-95?

it would be a 1999-2002
