Fender Mustang Appraisal

Fender Mustang Electric Guitar

This is a Fender Mustang electric guitar, finished in a light blue color, often referred to as Daphne Blue or similar. It features a double-cutaway solid body with a pearloid pickguard. The guitar has two single-coil pickups with distinctive slider switches located above the pickguard, which control the on/off and phase switching for each pickup. Below the bridge, there is a vintage-style tremolo system with a chrome-plated tailpiece and a tremolo arm socket. Controls include a single volume and tone knob with black plastic tops, mounted on a chrome control plate. The neck appears to be maple with a rosewood or dark wood fretboard, featuring white dot inlays and nickel or chrome frets. The headstock is a classic Fender design, with the "Fender Mustang" logo clearly visible. The shape of the pickguard and the control layout are characteristic of the Mustang model, which was first introduced in the 1960s. The visible tuning machines are likely original or period-correct Kluson-style tuners. There are no obvious signs of major damage visible in the image, though standard playwear or minor dings cannot be ruled out without a closer inspection. The finish appears relatively clean, suggesting it has been well-maintained or possibly refinished. The overall appearance points to a vintage or vintage-reissue Fender Mustang.
