This Mustang boasts numerous early features including a Brazilian rosewood fretboard, L-prefix neck plate, and double-line Kluson tuners, sporting a gloss Daphne Blue nitro lacquer finish accented by a white pearloid pickguard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighing 7lbs 8oz, this Mustang has a smooth, defined acoustic sound that translates well through the gray bobbin pickups. There's a bold chewy twang in the bridge position, and smooth bell-like cut and percussive snap at the neck. Naturally, one of the most fun sounds on the Mustang is achieved via the pair of three-way on\/off\/on pickup switches when engaged in their innermost or outermost positions, yielding an out-of-phase hollow quack. This Mustang has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Slender C, measuring .810” 1st fret, .965” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood, 7 1\/4” radius, pearl dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Slender, leveled\/crowned, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 24”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 1\/2”, bone\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Kluson Deluxe double-line, white buttons\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: L-prefix stamp on neck plate\u003cbr\u003e-Factory Markings: Neck heel date stamp April ‘65, “paint stick” markings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: Gray bobbin single coil x2, 5-17\/18-65 dates on bobbins\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to the 12th week of ‘65, ceramic tone cap\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Pat.
