Here is a fine example of a vintage Fender Mustang. I have owned this guitar for five years and it’s been such a joy to play and I have only used it for recording purposes. This guitar is in excellent condition, no issues.Made in 1970, serial number 299860, it’s all original including hardware, F tuners, single coil pickups and electronics. The pickups are very strong and sound amazing. They seem more full sounding that other Mustangs that I’ve played. The neck pickup has a wonderful round rhythm tone, the bridge pick has a cool treble bite and of course you can get some funky, out of phase tones with the pick up selectors The guitar weighs 7 lb. 2 oz. The neck is straight with great action. It's a thinner C style shape. The scale is 24 inches with 22 frets, nut is 1 7/16 inches. The guitar was re-fretted by the previous owner with Fender style medium-thin frets and it plays superb, better than any other vintage Mustang I’ve come across. It’s great for rhythm and solos. There is a small metal shim under the saddle of the low E string. It was that way when I got the guitar and I left it in place because the action was so good. Overall the guitar is in great condition but it does have some nicks, scratches and wear however that’s all part of the character of a vintage guitar in my opinion. There is a reason this guitar has been played so much! Sunburst finish is in good condition, some minor cracks in the poly typical with this era. There is some wear on the pick guard under the high E string. I’ve played and owned a lot of vintage guitars through the years and this is one of the finest instruments I’ve come across. It would be a terrific addition to any collection.  I’ve worked in several vintage guitar stores and I’ve shipped a lot of guitars. It will be professionally packed with a quality box.I am an experienced eBay member with over 1,000 transactions and 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence.
