Circa 1973 Fender Mustang. Has the cool racing stripe. I believe this color was called ??competition burgundy?? even though it looks blue.

Finish is original as the rest of the guitar appears to be. However, it??s now heavily worn with an uneven hue. Someone likely tried to buff out the clearcoat and didn??t go all the way. Leave it as is or finish the job

Plays and sounds great. Comes with the case you see in the photos. Center latch is not working but the other two are... more
