ok, i have 2 mustangs i'm looking at. they are very similar but i can't decided which one would be worth more 20 years down the track.

1. 1965 100% original, dakota red and in very good condition w/ original hardcase... the only problem with this is that there are a couple of tiny chips that have gone all the way through to the wood and someone has tried hiding them red nail polish but the damage is minimal.

2. 1966 100% original, dakota red and in very good condition w/ original hardcase. all nicks and scratches are very typical for a 45yo guitar. really really nice condition.

those are the basics, just judging by that if you had to pick one, which would you buy?

I voted for the '66. I'm not a Mustang expert, but I don't think that there really is much of a difference between a '65 and a '66. So with all things being equal (dakota red, original case, similar condition, etc) the nail polish touch ups on the '65 devalue it.

Generally speaking, it seems originality takes priority over age when you have two CBS era Fender vintage guitars only one year apart.

The 65 could be an L series in which case it would be more collectable . Other than that I think take one or the other .
