Fender is the undisputed number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Char, Thurston Moore, and Kurt Cobain.
The Mustang was released by Fender in 1964.
Its uniquely compact body shape offers exceptional playability, and the light feel of its short scale is incredibly appealing.
While categorized as a student model, it actually commands respect from many professional guitarists.
This particular model is a 1978 Mustang.
It features an Ash body, Maple neck, and Rosewood fingerboard.
The body's blonde finish and neck have discolored over time, giving it an old-school vibe.
It features two covered single-coil pickups.
It possesses the characteristic Fender-like bright, edgy high end while also delivering a unique sound distinct to this particular instrument.
The bridge employs a Dynamic Vibrato system.
Among vintage Fenders, the 1970s Mustang holds a unique position.
This is a recommended choice for those who want to enjoy the charm unique to short-scale guitars.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is loose but confirmed to have about 90 degrees of adjustment range.
The neck shows no symptoms like a high bow, but due to the fingerboard radius, playability is fine with 3mm clearance on the 6th string side and 2.5mm on the 1st string side.
The body and finish show vintage-appropriate aging, with discoloration from years of use.
Overall, there are dents, scratches, rust on metal parts, and dullness. There is sticker residue on the body back.
The electronics are in good condition.
The nut, frets, and jack have been replaced.
