An authentic mid-1960s Fender offset, this 1965 Mustang represents the final years of Fender’s golden-era production, anchored by a desirable L-series neck plate and a largely original, untouched core.

All critical components remain intact—original gray-bottom pickups, wiring harness, switching, and hardware—consistent with known 1965 Mustang specifications.  

The body has been professionally refinished in natural, revealing the grain beneath while preserving its vintage integrity. Notably, the neck pocket retains original custom color, offering a glimpse into its factory finish and adding an additional layer of provenance.

Key Features:

  • 1965 production with L-series neck plate
  • Original gray-bottom single coil pickups
  • Original electronics and switching system
  • Fender Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece
  • Kluson-style tuners
  • Rosewood fretboard

Condition:
Well-preserved for its age with honest vintage wear. Hardware shows appropriate patina. Refinish is clean and tastefully done, with original finish visible in protected areas.

Notes:
Appears to be all original based on visual inspection. Please use your own sources to verify originality prior to purchasing.

A compelling opportunity to acquire a true mid-’60s Fender with its original sonic character intact—positioned at a more accessible entry point due to the refinish, yet still firmly within collector-grade territory.

Please review all photos closely to verify condition and originality.
