Fender vintage 1965 Mustang Electric Guitar – Olympic White Finish!

Here's a 1965 Fender Mustang in Olympic White.  These were originally conceived as student guitars but have enjoyed popularity in the alternative rock/indie scene and is now a vintage classic. This has a dark rosewood fingerboard and the original single coil pickups, a shorter scale length, "C" shaped neck, with an offset body design that makes this a comfortable instrument both seated and while standing.

Overview:

"Introduced just before the CBS takeover of Fender, the Mustang was part of a redesign of Fender's line of student level guitars which included the Duo-sonic and Musicmaster. The Mustang offered somewhat more sophisticated electronics than earlier student guitars and also featured a 24-inch scale length. In its earliest era, the Mustang was available in a shorter 22 1/2-inch scale length, but these guitars are very uncommon. Since being discontinued in 1982, the Mustang has been reissued a number of times, and has found some popularity among alternative and indie rock players."
