A 1996 Fender Mustang 50th Anniversary reissue made in Japan (MIJ) offers exceptional build quality from the renowned Fuji-gen plant, combining vintage '60s specs with high-quality, reliable Japanese craftsmanship. These models, often featuring a 50th-anniversary badge, are praised for their accurate vintage vibe, comfortable playing feel, and lightweight bodies, often matching or exceeding the quality of USA production models from that era. A few very small dings that barely show in the photos on the lower right edge and one in back. The Mustang weighs 7 lbs. There is a Fender 50th anniversary sticker on back of the headstock.

• High-Quality Craftsmanship: Made in Japan (MIJ) in the 1990s, these instruments are considered very durable and well-built, often featuring superior QC to, or holding their own against, USA counterparts.
• Vintage Reissue Specs: They are often accurate representations of 1960s Fender Mustangs (like the MG66 or MG69) featuring traditional specs.
• Excellent Playability: The, typically, 7.25" fretboard radius and shorter, "C" to "D" shape necks are comfortable for smaller hands and offer great comfort for all-night playing.

• Value: Generally considered high-quality instruments with good investment potential, offering a high-end feel without the cost of a vintage original.
