Fender Classic Series '65 Mustang CIJ 2007 - Daphne Blue

Up for sale is my ‘65 reissue Mustang in Daphne Blue, made in October 2007. Model #0273706504. This is a CIJ (Crafted in Japan) guitar, from the era before Fender went back to the “Made in Japan” stamp. These have a strong reputation for build quality and fit and finish, and clean ones are getting harder to find.

Condition

Very good, all stock. One flaw: a small crack in the pickguard, shown in the photos. It sits under the surface layer, so you can’t feel it running a finger across, and it doesn’t affect anything. Neck is straight, frets have plenty of life left, and all switches and pots work. Comes with the original case and trem bars.

Features

• 24" short scale, the shortest in Fender’s lineup and easy to play for long stretches
• Two Mustang single coils, each with its own on/off and phase slider. That gives you neck, bridge, both together, and out-of-phase combos for thin, nasal sounds you can’t get from a Strat or Tele
• Floating bridge with the Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece for a light, smooth wobble
• Poplar body with the classic ‘65 look: Daphne Blue finish and 4-ply white pearloid pickguard
• Maple C-shape neck, rosewood fingerboard, 7.25" vintage radius, vintage-style frets
• Synthetic bone nut (1.625"), vintage-style tuners with aged white buttons
