Colours
The Fender Mustang was originally produced in Daphne Blue, Olympic White, and Dakota Red in 1965-1968. In 1969, Fender switched to the "Competition Colors," this consisted of Competition Blue, Competition Red, and Competition Orange. These Competition Mustangs are the only original Fender guitars to be produced with these "Racing stripes" which make them very collectable. The competition Mustangs produced from 1969 to mid 1970 came with a matching headstocks, from then on, Fender Mustangs came with Fender's standard wood colored headstock. The matching headstock models seem to be more desirable with collectors than the non matching models. Over the years, the Mustang has been produced in the following colors: sunburst, black, olympic white, sonic blue, daphne blue, Dakota red, competition blue, competition red, competition orange, natural, mocha brown, wine red transparent, Antigua,and candy apple. The 2012 Fender Mustang (Kurt Cobain Artist Edition) comes in Fiesta Red, Sonic Blue and Dark Lake Placid Blue with competition stripes.

Famous quotes containing the word colours:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
