Up for sale, a 1966 Fender Mustang in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Crafted very early in ‘66, this Mustang is a transitional model, boasting numerous early features including a set of Kluson Deluxe tuning machines, L-prefix serial neck plate, wide bevel nitrate tortoise pickguard, and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard.
This Mustang has a smooth, defined natural sound that translates well through the gray bobbin pickups. There's a bold sparkling spank in the bridge position, and smooth bell-like cut and percussive snap at the neck. The Mustang also has the added benefit of a pair of three-way on/off/on pickup switches for an out-of-phase hollow quack when the switches are engaged in their innermost or outermost positions. Weighing 7lbs 7oz, this Mustang benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
