  • Telenator

    Hey, very cool that you are offering strings now, too. I really love your product line and all the incredibly smart moves you folks have made through the years to acquire and reissue various brands and products. You carry so many of my favorites and browsing your site is like nostalgia nirvana and takes me back to my early years of guitar playing — my first MXR Distortion+, my first Cry Baby. Love you guys! Anybody using a selection of your gadgets couldn’t help but achieve great tone. So . . . let me win some electric strings, and you may be rewarded by my conversion to those as well — and the thousands of dollars that will follow in my purchase of sets by the dozens (one must stay stocked up on strings, you know!).

    Another choice to be made was between a three or four speed manual transmission or an automatic
    transmission called the Cruise-O-Matic. All GT packages came with an upgraded instrument
    group, striping on the lower part of the body sides. Finished out with
    “GT” badges on the front fenders, large fog lights mounted inside the
    front grill and a dual exhaust the 1965 Mustang GT really stood out! While the Shelby and
    GT packages got a lot of attention during 1965 the
    coupe body style was what really sold. The Ford Motor Company had first
    anticipated sales of the 1965 Mustang to be some where around the 100,000 and
    let’s just say they sold a few more than that!
