Overview

Fender's popular student model perfectly recreated with cool electronics and a super comfy neck.

A must-have for Mustang fans everywhere. The Classic Series 65 Mustang authentically evokes the very first full model year of Fenders most popular student-model guitar, which later went on to great pro-level success in the hands of artists such as David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren and Adrian Belew, to name only a few. Its ideal for those who aspire to original-era Mustang sound and style, with a poplar body in great mid-60s finishes, shorter scale length, dual pickups with versatile switching and much more.
