Description
An ultra cool second-year Mustang finished in Red & sporting a silky smooth neck that plays great up & down the fretboard. These have always been a favorite here at Cream City Music & thanks to a pro set up from our in-house specialist, it's ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear for a 57-year old guitar - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some finish wear. There's a very tiny, superficial crack on the back of the headstock just below the low E tuner, but it's purely cosmetic & does not affect playability or sound quality. Overall the guitar looks wonderful & has an ultra cool, true vintage vibe to it with a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Maple neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard & mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Fender F-logo tuners are in perfect working condition. There are filled holes underneath the tuners from a previous set that were on the guitar. 1 5/8" nut width; 24" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine. Neck stamp reads 8 NOV 65 B.
Body: Offset, solid poplar body finished in Red. Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece with original trem arm. Adjustable bridge with "barrel" saddles & original bridge cover. 3-ply white pearloid pickguard is in great shape with no cracks. Guitar weighs 7 lbs 10.1 oz.
Electronics: Original grey bottom single coils with black covers. Master volume & tone controls with black knobs. Pots date to '65 & all electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included.
