Here for sale we have a Fender MG-69 Mustang CIJ Electric Guitar in Vintage White finish. Crafted in Japan between 2006-2008, this guitar features a Basswood body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include upgraded vintage-style locking tuners, a Fender Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece with added tremolo screw thumbwheel, and chrome hardware. A pair of Fender MG Vintage Single Coil pickups are fitted, and are each wired to independent 3-position slider switches, as well as master volume and tone controls.
The Maple neck plays very well, with the 'Oval' Shape profile feeling comfortable in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth transitions up and down the neck, and works in conjunction with the 24" scale to create an instrument that feels exceptionally easy to navigate. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, whilst the 7.25" radius and vintage frets deliver a suitably vintage-inspired feel. The use of Basswood for the body keeps the weight low, and with the compact design and generous body contours playing for extended periods of time is a very comfortable experience in both standing and seated positions.
The pair of Fender single-coil pickups installed in this guitar deliver crystal clear and articulate sounds, well suited to a wide range of genres. The neck pickup offers warmth and a smooth bass response which retains detail when driving the amp. The bridge pickup is brighter, cutting through the mix easily to put your playing front and centre. Each pickup is controlled with a 3-position slider. The middle position disengages the pickup, allowing you to use the neck or bridge pickup independently or even use the control as a kill switch. Putting both switches in the same direction engages them both in parallel and in phase, whilst sliding them in opposite directions engages them in series, out of phase. This opens up a surprisingly wide range of tones for a guitar with just two single-coils.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
