Description: Up for sale, a 1966 Fender Mustang in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This Mustang sports a body-only Competition Orange refinish via Marty Bell, retaining the original electronics, hardware, and plastics. Smooth and clear-sounding acoustically, this Mustang has an authoritative and snappy natural quality that translates well through the pair of black bobbin single coils. The bridge pickup has plenty of jangle and sparkling cut, while the neck pickup has more warmth and sweetness, retaining a defined overall character. One of the most fun sounds on the Mustang is the out-of-phase setting, engaged when both on/off/on pickup selector switches are at their innermost or outermost points for a distinctive quack and spank. This Mustang weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The neck profile retains its original nitro lacquer gloss, with a worn-in, easy-playing feel and some small marks along the profile length that are not distracting to the palm while fretting. A modern Fender Classic Series black tolex hardshell case is included.
