Fender Mustang - year 1965

All original 1965 Fender Mustang. Light weight with a very small neck shape. Very easy to play and sounds killer. Perfect for all levels of player, but these really work for beginners and people with smaller hands. Comes with the original Australian issue Fender hard case.

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.
