Built to the specs of the Mustang's first model year, this guitar features all-vintage appointments, down to the gap between the pickguard and control plate.

A must-have for Mustang fans everywhere. The Classic Series '65 Mustang authentically evokes the very first full model year of Fender's most popular student-model guitar, which later went on to great pro-level success in the hands of artists such as David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren and Adrian Belew, to name only a few. It's ideal for those who aspire to original-era Mustang sound and style, with a poplar body in great mid-'60s finishes, shorter scale length, dual pickups with versatile switching and much more.

"Surprise finding! Hendrix played one!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I had an original 1966 in Sky Blue back in the day, when I couldn't play my way out of a paper bag, so to speak. Tremolo, cool color, light weight, and I basically learned how to play lead on this guitar. The little switches add to it's retro vibe, and this latest version in 3 tone sunburst is a knock-out! Price looks good by today's standings, and a good value. Jimi Hendrixc played this guitar exclusively on "Axis" Bold As Love". "Little Wing" and all the rest of those songs on a Fender Mustang guitar!

Musical Background:
