Specifications
Classic ’60s Mustang Design
The MG66-66 recreates the distinctive formula that made the original Mustang one of Fender’s most recognizable offset guitars.
Its 24" short scale gives the guitar a slinky, comfortable feel with less string tension than a traditional 25.5" Fender scale. Combined with the vintage-style 7.25" fingerboard radius, it provides an authentic old-school Fender playing experience.
The dual Mustang single-coil pickups deliver the bright, punchy, slightly raw voice associated with the model, while the individual slider switches allow each pickup to be switched on or off as well as providing the Mustang’s distinctive out-of-phase pickup combination.
The Dynamic Vibrato system completes the package, providing the expressive vibrato response that is such an important part of the classic Mustang design.
Tone & Feel
There’s nothing quite like playing a good vintage-style Mustang.
The short scale makes this guitar exceptionally comfortable and gives it a fast, responsive feel. The neck is particularly slim at .79" at the 1st fret, gradually filling out to .91" at the 12th fret.
Tonally, the Mustang pickups provide plenty of clarity and attack. Clean sounds are bright and articulate, while overdrive brings out the raw, aggressive character that has made these guitars favorites among alternative, indie, punk, grunge, garage rock, and studio players.
At 7 lbs 0 oz, the guitar is nicely balanced and comfortable whether sitting or standing.
Non-Original Tweed Hard-Shell Case
Unlike many Fender Japan Mustangs from this era that are commonly found with gig bags, this guitar includes a non-original tweed hard-shell case.
This is a significant upgrade for storage and travel and, importantly, provides considerably better protection during shipping than a gig bag.
The guitar will be professionally packed inside the hard-shell case for safe transport to its next owner.
