2011 Fender Mustang ‘69 Vintage Reissue MG69/MH Dakota Red + Headstock Near-Mint, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 2011 Fender Mustang ‘69 vintage reissue model MG69/MH in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A discontinued model produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside of its country of origin, this “Made in Japan” Mustang boasts a rare Dakota Red gloss finish with matching headstock.

Lightweight at 6lbs 12oz, this Mustang has a smooth, cutting voice when strummed acoustically, qualities which translate well through the pickups. The single coils have a clear, sparkling tone, and the on/off/on pickup selector switches can also engage the distinctive Mustang out-of-phase sound in the innermost and outermost positions. This Mustang MG69/MH has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
