1975 Fender Mustang – Sunburst (Preloved)
A real-deal vintage offset with lived-in tone, era-correct parts, and genuine Fullerton history.
This 1975 Fender Mustang in factory Sunburst is everything a vintage offset fan looks for — original where it matters, player-ready, and full of honest character. It’s a Fullerton-made piece with consistent 1974 dating across the neck, pickups, pots, and wiring. Likely left the factory early 1975.
Stamped “70 2024” on the neck heel (20th week of 1974), it features original Fender gray-bobbin pickups (code 183974), untouched cloth wiring, CTS pots (1377433 – 33rd week of ‘74), and unmodified slider switches. The metal control plate, pickguard, bridge and tremolo are all correct and functioning.
The guitar has had a refret at some point in its life, improving playability while keeping the rosewood fretboard feel. The nut is original and still functional, though we think a replacement would unlock a bit more clarity and tuning confidence.
It includes a period-correct silver Fender Mustang hard case — a rare bonus that ties the whole vintage package together.
Wear is honest and natural: light lacquer checking, dings and scuffs from decades of use, and some vintage patina that can’t be faked. This is not a parts build or relic — it’s the real thing.
