Beautiful Watson Mustang copy guitar. A made in Japan 1970s Fender copy

guitarz.blogspot.com:

There's a rare elegance to this made in Japan Watson Mustang that you do not usually find on the Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I love Mustangs, but they most are often associated with a more rock and roll aesthetic.

This 1970s Kiro Suzuki made Mustang gets its great look from an awesome wine colour that has aged to vintage perfection.

1970s Made In Japan Bigsby-equipped Mustang-like three-pickup wonder

guitarz.blogspot.com:

I'm afraid I am unable to identify this 1970s Japanese-made electric which seems to be an amalgam of guitar designs from Fender and Gibson with perhaps a little nod to Hagstrom too. The 3-a-side headstock shape is slightly at odd with the almost Mustang-like bodyshape, but somehow it works. The guitar appears to have three humbuckers (but you can't always tell simply by looking with Japanese guitars of this vintage - they could be single coils in disguise) but apparently only a three-way switch, which is weird. The icing on the cake is the Bigsby (or what might be a very close approximation of a Bigsby) vibrato.

steel bodied Loic Le Pape Mustang

Loïc Le Pape is one of these French guys who makes übercool guitars out of steel - here is his take on the Mustang. Simple and raw, it looks like the ultimate nu-garage rock guitar, isn't it? 

Also it has interesting pickups, the SP Custom (also a small French company) Trinity humbuckers based on coupled hand-wound Telecaster and Jazzmaster single-coils - 3 sounds in one pickup - plus a piezo...

I'd definitely play this guitar!
