Original 1978 Fender USA Mustang. The color is "Olympic White." It has yellowed slightly with age, giving it a strong vintage look. I think it's old enough to be considered a true vintage instrument. The sound has power, and it's a strong tone that you wouldn't expect from a Mustang, but the assembly is believed to be original. The neck has a slight forward bow, which I think is the best condition for playing. The frets still have about 70% life left. It weighs 4.2 kg, but the weight contributes to a good mid-low range resonance. After purchasing it used, I had it professionally set up by the manager-class person at a large musical instrument store. It's ready to play as is. The case is included as a bonus, and it's an early hard case made in '64 or '65. Originally, American basswood was used for the body, but from 1975, ash, a relatively expensive wood, began to be used. The ash used in the 70s came from a different region than that of the 50s, so it tended to be heavier. However, it is thought that this specification was adopted because sustain was considered important for electric guitars at the time. In 1977, Fender began using ash for all of its guitars and basses, and of course, the Mustang followed suit. This instrument is from 1978, the second year that Fender fully transitioned to ash, so it is believed to use very good body wood. Guitarist Char has been using a 1978 model for many years, and it can be said to be one of his iconic guitars. Also, this 78 model is said to be the basis for his signature model. If you are interested, please consider it. Since it is old, please understand that it is sold as-is, with no returns or exchanges. Also, we receive many requests for discounts, but we will not be accepting them, so please keep that in mind. Thank you.
