Up for sale is a stunning, incredibly resonant piece of golden-era pre-CBS Fullerton history: a 1957 Fender Musicmaster showcasing a gorgeous Natural finish.This guitar boasts a beautiful clear-coated natural wood body that highlights the tight, organic grain patterns of mid-century Fender wood stock. The warm wood look perfectly complements the iconic, highly sought-after gold anodized aluminum pickguard, giving this instrument an unmistakable, premium vintage aesthetic that stands out on stage or in the studio.For players and producers seeking the genuine mojo, craftsmanship, and unparalleled tone of 1950s Fender construction without the standard five-figure investment, this Musicmaster delivers in spades. It is an absolute vibe.The Legendary '57 V-Neck
The absolute highlight of this guitar is its solid maple neck, carved into the iconic 1957 soft "V" profile—the exact same legendary shape found on highly coveted 1957 Stratocasters. It offers an incredibly comfortable, worn-in feel that fits perfectly in the hand. The short 22.5-inch scale length provides a loose, highly expressive feel, making it an absolute joy to play, bend strings, and track with. The frets have plenty of life left, the neck is straight, and it plays smoothly up and down the fretboard.Classic Vintage Tone
Equipped with its iconic neck-position single-coil pickup, this guitar delivers a direct, pure signal path. The tone is remarkably warm, woody, and naturally compressed, offering that distinct, chimey 1950s Fender character. It sounds absolutely beautiful plugged into a clean tube amp and takes overdrive pedals phenomenally well. All original parts
