Fender Mustang 1978 Used Electric Guitar Offset Body, Vintage Style

Key Features

Vintage 1978 Fender Mustang Electric Guitar

This is a used 1978 Fender Mustang, a classic model renowned for its unique sound and compact design. The Mustang originated in the mid-1960s as a mid-range guitar, following the lineage of models like the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic introduced in the 1950s. It features a smaller offset body with two available scale lengths and fret configurations—24 inches with 22 frets, and 22.5 inches with 21 frets—produced until around 1982.

This particular guitar boasts a body made from ash wood, characteristic of the late 1970s models. The white finish has aged to a warm, yellowed hue, complemented by a vintage-style black pickguard, giving it a distinguished, aged appearance. The maple neck and control knobs are consistent with the final production period, offering a comfortable, manageable size suitable for various playing styles. While the sound is more subtle than powerful, it excels in crisp chord work and expressive playing.

Key features include two pickup switches, allowing for the iconic phase-out sound that defines the Mustang's tonal versatility. The overall condition shows signs of use, with some paint chipping on the back of the body, adding to its vintage charm. The frets are in good condition with no significant dents, and the truss rod has ample adjustment room.

This guitar is equipped with original vintage parts, including the pickups and hardware. It comes with the original hard case, tremolo arm, and a used warranty certificate. The instrument weighs approximately 3.985 kg.
