1969 Fender Mustang, Competition Burgundy
One of the earliest produced examples of this iconic late-’60s Fender design. An incredibly cool find with a neck date of May '69; the month the comp stripe Mustang was officially released.
Visually, it’s in excellent condition throughout. The competition stripe gives it that unmistakable racing-inspired look forever associated with Kurt's Smells Like Teen Spirit model. This one has an incredible, vibrant 'burst to the matching headstock too, and overall it's one of the nicest examples we have seen.
Electronics are spot-on. Both original grey-bottom pickups are present, each stamped “9250,” and they deliver the clear, punchy, slightly wiry tone that makes Mustangs so effective in everything from indie and alternative to garage and punk. Wiring is as it should be, and the pots date to 1966, with one clearly legible 137 6642 CTS code.
Taken as a whole, this is a very cool, historically significant Mustang, not just for its condition and originality, but for it's first year/first month status. A superb example for the player or collector, and a particularly strong choice if you’re looking for a Mustang that represents the very start of one of Fender’s most visually distinctive late-’60s variations.
Comes complete with original hard case.
