Used Fender MUSTANG 1965 REFINISHED Vintage Offset Dbl Cutaway Guitar Natural 6-String

Used 1965 Fender Mustang in good condition. This guitar has a refinish, but other than that is entirely original. This is likely an early 1965 model since it features a smaller headstock and "L series" serial number. This short scale, offset guitar features dual single coils with sliding switches that allow for in phase/ out of phase, as well as individual pickup selection. This guitar came at the dawn of the CBS acquisition of Fender, right when production started ramping up for the company, however it was still very well made and came before the model reached its peak production at 18,000 units in 1966. This guitar plays excellently, as well as being fully functional electronically. For the time period, it is in excellent cosmetic condition, and the refinish was well done. Comes with original hard case.
