This 1965 Fender Mustang, beautifully refinished by renowned luthier Carson Hess, is a stellar example of early offset Fender design. With nearly all-original components (only the tremolo arm has been replaced), this Mustang blends vintage authenticity with fresh visual appeal.
Crafted with an alder body and featuring the original maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, this Mustang delivers that unmistakable mid-'60s Fender tone—bright, articulate, and full of character. The original pickups remain intact, offering all the punchy attack and expressive chime these short-scale offsets are celebrated for.
The 24" scale and 7.25" radius provide a smooth, slinky playing feel perfect for bends, chords, and leads alike. The original tuners keep things reliably in tune, and at just 7 lbs, 4.8 oz, it’s a lightweight and comfortable choice whether you're recording, rehearsing, or performing live. This guitar has been setup by our in-house luthier and is ready for the stage or studio. 
Please note: there are signs of cosmetic wear typical for its age. Refer to our photos for a detailed view, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
