About This Listing

If you'd like a custom sound clip you will need to contact The Fret Shop directly in Winchester VA (online at fretshopva). I'll be happy to make you one.

New frets, it all seems to be original. This little bugger is a absolute joy to play and sounds fantastic.  We were nailing the Texas blues thing through a Peavey Delta Blues the other day AND it has an unexpected and really nice straight-ahead jazz tone as well believe it or not. 
The input jack has a slight cracking and needs to be resoldered. Has "2-61" written on the butt of the neck. Original case with two outside latches working (they are no longer spring-loaded) and the center latch is non functioning (see pics).  Good to very good condition.

Product Overview
The Fender Musicmaster electric guitar, stripped of any frills, played an important role in Fender's history: it was one of the first student models Fender ever produced. At a smaller 22.5" scale length, the Musicmaster had one single pickup and two knobs. Though it was one of the lower-end, more inexpensive models, it served its purpose well and remains relatively inexpensive today.

In mid-1959, along with the rest of the Fender line, the Musicmaster was redesigned to use a 2-piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard and a plastic pickguard. Starting 1961, both the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic models were available in a Sunburst finish.
