Up for sale, a 1998 Fender Mustang '69 vintage reissue in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Made exclusively for the Japanese market and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this Mustang model (officially model MG69) boasts a very rare Shell Pink gloss finish. Often considered to rival Fender's US production in terms of overall quality, this Mustang is a testament to the workmanship and eye for detail evident in the Crafted in Japan Fender models.
There's plenty to love about this Mustang, from the lightweight and resonant body to the pair of stock single coil pickups that deliver plenty of snap and twang. The guitar is featherweight at 7lbs 1oz, and the crisp, clear voice of the instrument when strummed acoustically translates well through the pickups. Of course 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. The quack and spank of that particular setting is unique to the Mustang, and there's plenty of tonal range between the two pickups, with meatier sounds when the neck pickup is soloed. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Mustang features 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Slender C, full shoulders, measuring .795” 1st fret, .920” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius
-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3
-Scale Length: 24”
-Nut: 1 9/16”, bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh locking (upgraded)
-Serialization: “Crafted in Japan” script, O-prefix
Body Specs:
-Wood: Basswood
-Pickups: MG Vintage single coil x2
-Controls: On/Off/On switches, Volume, Tone
-Hardware: Vibrato. bridge with barrel saddles
-Plastics: Three-ply pearloid pickguard, pointer knobs
The gloss Shell Pink finish is extremely well-kept, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few small finish chips on the contours and back body edge, a small spot of light buckle wear at the edge of the belly carve, and a few additional minor marks on the body as a whole. The lightly ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
A Fender-branded padded gigbag is included.
