About This Listing
Own a piece of music history with this iconic 1964 Fender Mustang electric guitar, once owned and played by the legendary Johnny Winter himself! Used as his backup guitar, this instrument is steeped in rock 'n' roll legacy. Snagged from the now-closed "Strung Out Guitars" in Cornwall Ontario. When I bought it the owner of the shop Arthur was unable to find the picture of Johnny playing this guitar unfortunately . A must-have for any serious collector. Don't sleep on your chance to own a slice of music history—grab it now before someone else does! 🤘🎸
Introduced just before the CBS takeover of Fender, the Mustang was part of a redesign of Fender's line of student level guitars which included the Duo-sonic and Musicmaster. The Mustang offered somewhat more sophisticated electronics than earlier student guitars and also featured a 24-inch scale length. In its earliest era, the Mustang was available in a shorter 22 1/2-inch scale length, but these guitars are very uncommon. Since being discontinued in 1982, the Mustang has been reissued a number of times, and has found some popularity among alternative and indie rock players.
