I recently got hold of a CIJ '65 Mustang Re-Issue from '94-95. It has an unusual black finish. I thought it was refinished but the guy said it was original. Didn't seem like the standard glossy Fender finishes that I am used to. Wasn't a flat black either. Somewhere in the middle. Anybody seen one of these ? Or know what I'm talking about ?

Also, Is there another option as far as tuning machines ? Not too crazy about the white plastic tuners and don't want to drill any additional holes for a different set of tuning machines. Is there a good substitute ?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Since the original Fender colors on the '65 Mustang were patriot colors (red,white,blue)
The only way you would find one that is black is because it had been refinished. Maybe Fender compensated for this and made the black Mustang '65 ReIssue have the appearance of looking like a Refin- out of the factory ? Hence, the not so glossy, finish.

I'm thinking that would be the only way this could be an authentic Fender finish.
But that's just a guess.

Still would appreciate some help on this, though...




Anybody ???

This looks like a not quite flat, not quite glossy. It's a '65 RI from Japan.

As for the tuners;
