Up for grabs is a genuine piece of mid-60s Fender history. This late-1965 Fender Musicmaster II delivers the quintessential vintage offset feel and undeniable CBS-transition era mojo. With an "F" stamped neck plate (Serial 109543) and its original Dakota Red finish, this guitar has earned every bit of its natural relic character through decades of actual play.

Condition Report

This is a true player-grade instrument. As shown in the photos, the body exhibits heavy, authentic road wear. The back features significant edge chipping and localized buckle rash that exposes the bare wood. The front finish remains largely intact but retains an honest vintage patina. The headstock face is remarkably well-preserved, with the original "Fender Musicmaster II" decal fully intact and sharp.

Sharing the same neck profile and production DNA as early-CBS era Stratocasters and Mustangs, this offset is an exceptional studio tool for tracking punchy, articulate rhythm parts or gritty indie leads. It is priced for the player looking for real vintage character without the pristine collector-tier markup.

No returns whatsoever because of vintage condition. Photos count as description. Please ask thoroughly.
