A slab Brazilian rosewood fretboard was a feature typically reserved for Pre-CBS Fender instruments produced from 1959-mid 1962, but was also implemented on the Mustang\/Duo Sonic II\/Musicmaster models exclusively from 1965-66 for a couple short production runs, as on the example seen here.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEssentially a hardtail, single pickup version of the Mustang platform, this guitar offers a clear acoustic voice that’s resonant and authoritative, with plenty of sparkle and cut on tap via the gray bobbin alnico magnet single coil pickup. This pickup is virtually identical to a concurrently-produced Strat pickup, with the only difference being the flat pole piece design. By virtue of the neck position, this pickup has great warmth and detail with a woody chop. We've had this Musicmaster II dialed in here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Round C, measuring .875” 1st fret, .880” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood slab, 7 1\/4” radius, pearloid dot inlays, faint finger wear behind frets 1-3\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, leveled\/crowned, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 5\/8”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson-style (aged, modern)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp on F neck plate\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: November, 1965 date stamp on neck heel, “paint stick” markings in pocket\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Gray bobbin single coil (bobbin pencil dated to 2-22-66)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Volume pot dates to 1966, modern CTS Tone pot\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Hardtail bridge with threaded saddles, control plate\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Three-ply red tortoise pickguard, pointer knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Olympic White finish exhibits yellowing of the clear coat and prominent vertical checking, with various dings and scuffs consistent with use and a small area of buckle wear on the back of the bass-side body horn.
