About This Listing

1968 Musicmaster II refinished in black. Pickguard and volume/tone knobs have been replaced to more closely mimic a taste 70s Musicmaster. You get the best of both worlds with this one, Late 60s neck and finished in Nitrocellulose instead of the usual Poly finish that comes on the late 70s Musicmaster models.

Plays exactly like my '66 Mustang, but for half the price. Will ship in original 1968 Fender hardshell case.

Product Overview

The Fender Musicmaster II was a short-lived transitional model during the CBS takeover that featured the same design as the original Musicmaster (a 3/4 scale student model introduced in 1956) but with a regular 25.5" scale length. 

It was only offered with one single coil pickup at the neck from the factory. Specimens are often seen with bridge pickups, however, as this is a popular model to modify. 

Years of Production: 1964 - 1969

Finish Specifications: Olympic White is more desirable than Dakota Red.

Unique to this Year: 1966 is often recognized as the first full year of CBS-controlled production, though CBS bought the company in January of '65.
