(SOLD) Fender Japan '69 Mustang MG69-65 Yellow White 2004
Fender Mustang, yellow white, crafted in Japan 2004-5. When folks think about great colours for a Mustang, usually the first thoughts are red and blue, but dang... this buttery, custardy, creamy yellow white is a real looker. The dark tort guard, classy rosewood board and bug bold CBS-style logos round of the aesthetic perfectly. Between the lightweight undersize body, slim 40mm nut, light weight and the cheeky trem, this basically plays itself, it's so much fun. The tone on offer is an immediate, snappy punch, with a naturally short sustain and a dash of sizzle on the top end. It lends itself well to grungy chords and surfy riffs and maintains a certain clarity even when doused in gain and effects. The funnest!
