Fender Musicmaster 1965 L Plate White

Now available on consignment, a 1965 Fender Musicmaster.

This is a pretty cute example of a mid 60’s Fender’s student model guitar with the shorter 22.5 inch scale. It features all of the original components, original finish, and no modifications. Despite having spent a long time under a house, this Musicmaster is absolutely untouched inside. Both stackpole pots date to early-mid 1965, as well as the original grey bobbin pickup.

The cosmetic condition is obviously worn, with the factory finish having plenty of checking, additionally there are many chips, dents and scratches, but it is all surface level, with no serious damage to the guitar. Most of the metal parts; bridge, tuners, control plate, exhibit many areas of corrosion, but nothing structurally significant.

All in all this is actually a great little player, both mellow and crisp, with a nice chime to complement its nice neck and light weight.

Set up & strung with 12-52’s with a wound G, includes a gig bag.
