Up for sale, a 2014 Fender Mustang '65 vintage reissue model MG65 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Easily one of the best Mustangs ever offered by Fender, the MG65 is a discontinued, upper tier model, designed for the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside its country of origin. The MG65 features USA-spec CTS pots, vintage spec gray bobbin pickups with cloth-covered leads, and Schaller-made Fender "F" tuners. The tonewood complement is also faithful to 1960s Fender spec, with a slab poplar body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard.
The pair of gray bobbin pickups can chime with the best, delivering a detailed sound that has sparkle and kick. The three-way on/off/on pickup switches can also produce the Mustang's signature cutting out-of-phase sound when in their innermost or outermost positions. Lightweight at 6lbs 15oz, this MG65 Mustang has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with fresh 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Olympic White finish presents very cleanly, with some small dings and light finish scratches, as well as subtle checking at the corners of the neck pocket. The ambered gloss finish on the neck profile is pristine.
