Vintage Fender Mustang - USA 1967

Behold, a genuinely one-of-a-kind 1967 Fender Mustang in the distinctive shade of Olympic White. The nitro finish has gracefully evolved into a creamy, nuanced patina, showcasing wear and delicate crazing, all while retaining its original allure with hardly a hint of flaking. The vintage charm is elevated by the presence of the authentic tortoiseshell pickguard.

Embracing the larger of the two neck options, the "B" profile boasts a 1-5/8" nut width, accompanied by a 24" scale length. Notably, a smaller 22-1/2" "student" neck with a 1-1/2" wide nut was a specialized catalog offering. Stamped with a neck heel marking from October 1966 and bearing the serial number 183997 on the neck plate, the absence of a 'contour body' decal on the headstock indicates its early 1967 origin.

Every hardware component, from pickups and switches to knobs, pots, and the '67 patent-numbered bridge, remains original and in perfect working order.

The vintage treasure is accompanied by an exquisite original hardshell case that houses the fully functional tremolo arm, contributing to the overall allure of this exceptionally smooth and charismatic vintage Fender - a true gem for discerning players.
