Two questions....sorry about being greedy
I was looking 'round the internet at the New Kurt Cobain Mustang Signature and found one on this site with MADE IN JAPAN with a U-6 digit on the back heel...I have a pretty good knowledge of mustangs to know that the Kurt Cobain Signature would be a Crafted in Japan not a MIJ....I compared it to my Mustang which is MIJ with a U-6 digit serial number 65 Reissue in Daphne Blue and the Dot inlays on the top of the neck (what you see when you play to know what fret you on) are white or cream and are place half on the rosewood and half on the maple, basically like the original 65 mustang.....the Cobain mustang are Black and are only on the maple....I looked on the internet *thinking thats the way Cobain had is inlays on his mustang* and found a white fender mustang with stripe CIJ with the same inlays.
The Second Question is wood quality
While comparing necks, I discovered that my maple was much more orangey with a better looking maple with very prominent grain. I had the Fender Japan page up *while looking at the necks and Inlays* and the neck was basically the same as the MG65/VSP and not the normal MG65 (Mustang Reissue) being the same colour and maple as the VSP. On the site the VSP is basically a reissue but a better quality one using better poplar, with a bent tremolo arm and with pickups coping the old american ones. I know my mustang is not a VSP due to the fact that it is in Daphne blue and the blue on the VSP is much darker.
Basically
Can someone explain why the Kurt Cobain Mustang Signature has a 1995-96 MIJ Neck ?
Explain the top of the neck dot inlays...Do Mustangs past 69 have different inlays ? both Orginals and Reissues
Explain the VSP neck on a normal Reissue Mustang ?
