Description

Summary: The Mustang was created as a mid-line model between the student grade DuoSonic and the professional Telecaster. This CBS era example is a nice playing vintage guitar with a killer Olympic White finish that has aged to a nice yellow. This guitar has the original pickups & the original pickguard & it comes with a G&G Fender hardshell Mustang case.

Body: Alder offset body. Aged Olympic White finish.

Neck: Maple with rosewood fretboard and pearloid dot markers. Short (22.5”) scale. Larger CBS era headstock. The nut width is 1 7/16". The frets on this guitar do show some minor divits and wear but they still have some life left in them.

Pickups/Hardware: Two single coil pickups. Tremolo bridge. Original Kluson Deluxe tuners. Tortoiseshell pickguard. Original on/off/on pickup switches. One volume and one tone control (black witch hat knobs) on separate jack plate.

Cosmetics: This guitar has great character with heavy checking on the aged finish. There are several dings & nicks around the edges of this instrument and some pitting is happening on the bridge plate, however, this is all consistent with a well-used and loved guitar from the 1960's. The back of the guitar has buckle rash & there are a few places where the finish has been chipped off or worn away. The back of the neck has some places where the finish is worn off but it doesn’t affect playability. The original Fender logo has partially worn off around the middle of the logo but most of it is still in-tact.

Playability: The action is set low and the short scale neck makes fretting a breeze, especially for folks with shorter fingers. Tone is classic Fender: bright, snappy and surfy.
Mods/Repairs: This instrument does not include the original whammy bar.

Weight: 7 lbs, 15 0z.

Case: Non-original black tolex G&G hardshell Fender Mustang case.
