Fender MG-65 Mustang Re-issue Daphne Blue Made in Japan MIJ 00878
Description (more pics below)
You're looking at a Fender '65 Mustang MG-65 re-issue in a beautiful Daphne Blue finish. The U+6-digit serial indicates 2007-2010 production date. Really pretty guitar. Frets and neck in excellent condition. All electronics work. Tremolo works and tremolo bar is included.
Cosmetically, there are a few marks on the edge (see pics) but overall still looks very clean. Weight is a very light 6 pounds, 10 ounces. These are great little guitars with lots of sounds with the pickup switching, including in/out of phase, while the bridge pickup alone can produce some meatier tones. Easy to play with its C-shape 7.25" radius, 24" short scale neck, No case. Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing. Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Manufacturer Info
Pure '60s Mustang Style - A must-have for Mustang fans everywhere. The Classic Series ’65 Mustang authentically evokes the very first full model year of Fender’s 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,(even Jimi Hendrix!) to name only a few. It’s 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. Features include on/off and phase in/out slider switches for each pickup, floating bridge with “Dynamic Vibrato” tailpiece with trem bar, 24” scale length, "C" profile Maple neck, and 7.25” radius Rosewood fingerboard with 22 vintage-style frets.
