USED Fender / 1966 Mustang Dakota Red [11]

The unique looseness created by the short scale, and its one-of-a-kind phaser sound.

Fender 1966 Mustang. Originally designed as a student model, this vintage guitar has now established a solid reputation in the alternative and indie scenes. The soft string tension and nimble response of the 24-inch short scale handle everything from chord work to rough lead playing with ease. Furthermore, each pickup features an independent switch, allowing for versatile tone shaping, including phased sounds.

Details unique to the early CBS era, such as the large headstock and F-key tuners, are another appealing feature, giving it a distinctly vintage presence. With a character that sets it apart from Stratocasters and Telecasters, this is a unique instrument you’ll want to choose specifically to stand out from the crowd.

Combining playability with a distinctive sound, this model is sure to inspire the player’s creativity.
Weather checking is visible across the entire body.
