Rock the Retro Revival: Your '70s Mustang Awaits!
Ignite Your Inner Rock God with This Black Beauty – 2016 Fender Japan Classic ‘70s Mustang!
Picture this: A sleek, ebony-black stunner straight out of a David Bowie fever dream, channeling the raw, rebellious vibe of the ‘70s garage rock explosion. This isn't just any Mustang – it's a Fender Japan masterpiece, meticulously crafted to nail that vintage offset swagger with a short-scale punch that begs to be played. Weighing in at featherlight perfection, it's built for marathon jams, not dusty corners. If you are in search of a guitar that just radiates cool...look no further than this Fender '70's Mustang reissue. Mustangs are famous for their dark, spanky tone and this one delivers it in spades. The black finish is just the icing on the cake as it is just adds to that sweet, vintage mojo.
Why This Ride Steals the Show:
Pro Setup Magic: Freshly dialed in by luthier wizards – action buttery smooth, intonation spot-on, and playability that feels like it was made for your fingers. Plug in, crank the tremolo, and let the vibes flow.
Pickguard Upgrade: Ditch the ordinary – we've swapped in a lush, upgraded tortoiseshell pickguard that screams premium class and turns heads like a stage-lit solo.
Preowned Perfection: Excellent condition overall, with battle-tested charm from a life well-lived. Just one tiny scratch on the front (think: a whisper of rock 'n' roll history, not a flaw). No dings, no drama – ready to roar.
Whether you're shredding indie riffs, channeling Kurt Cobain grit, or just noodling in your garage, this Mustang delivers that signature Fender twang with Japanese precision. It's not just a guitar; it's your ticket to timeless tone and endless fun.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
