Fender Mustang Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1966), made in Fullerton, California, red lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, original grey hard shell case.
A particularly nice example of a 1966 Mustang, Fender's classiest student guitar and favorite of countless teen garage bands in the 60's and 70's. The body sports a vibrant red finish (Mustang finishes lack the heavy clearcoat of higher-end Fender finishes, thus tend to stay truer in color). The pickguard is laminated with a white pearloid top layer. Neck is dated Feb '66 and pots are coded to 9th week of '66, with pickups hand-dated March 25 of that year. An American classic and still a great deal in a clean, original 1960's Fender guitar!
