The Mustang, which debuted in 1964 and remains incredibly popular today, was a student model, but thanks to its wood materials and parts that rival those of the regular model, it gained popularity as a guitar that allowed players to easily enjoy Fender tone. The item we have in stock this time was shipped around 1972. It is a model in the "Competition Red with White Stripes" colorway that first appeared in the catalog in 1969. 【body】 The overall weight is approximately 3.6 kg. Like other major models, the guitar is finished in the "Fender Thick-Skin High-Gloss" finish. The metallic red body features a cream racing stripe, making it one of the most appealing features. The pickguard is currently in a state of indestructible due to a chemical reaction with the paint. While there are some dents and scratches with peeling paint, some shrinkage of the pickguard due to age, and some tarnish on the metal parts, the guitar is in relatively good condition, with the feel of a vintage instrument. The armbar is missing. 【neck】 The neck is made of maple. The fingerboard is made of rosewood. The maple has bird's-eye grain, particularly around the headstock. There are a few dents on the headstock and back of the neck, and some tarnish on the metal parts, but like the body, it is in relatively good condition. The tuners have a slight bend in the second-string knob and some inconsistency in overall winding tightness, but they function well. There is some wear near the low frets, but there is currently no significant choking or other issues. The headstock is 15.9mm thick. The nut width is 40.3mm. The neck shape is characterized by a relatively thick, unobtrusive neck. [Electrical system] The Mustang's familiar controls include a master volume, master tone, and pickup selector switches. The pickup selector allows you to create a mixed sound, either in-phase or out-of-phase, depending on the position. Since the pickguard cannot be removed, we have determined that the pickups remain original, noting that there is no sign of the pots being desoldered. The instrument itself resonates well, with a crisp, articulate tone that is characteristic of old Fender guitars.
