Smoked Fender Mustang

Post by debudavid » Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:37 pm

I picked this up a few months ago and just had to have it. It's a '78 antigua model which has seen some action over the years. It plays quite well despite some mysterious damage done to the higher frets. It doesn't affect my playing that much, but I will get it looked at in the future.

Here it is with my '66 musicmaster and '72 mustang.

No, it's not sticky or even smelly. Must have been cleaned up quite a bit before I got it!

I wonder if it had the same owner as my 1985 sonic blue Tele which came recently, from a Japanese seller - likewise no smell!
