My 65 Fender Mustang, It came into my Possession around 75.
The previous owner of it had removed the Headstock decal and painted the body an awful puke Yellow color, the paint was about half inch thick with large runs in it, one of the pickups was completely smashed and most of the screws were missing, I got it disassembled in a box were it had been for at least two years.
It had not been treated very well before that.
I stripped the paint off and applied the clear Lacquer you see today, replaced most of the screws and replaced the smashed pickup with a DiMarzio Pickup that I don’t remember the model.
A few years later, due to wear, I replaced the tuners with new chrome tuners that they said were for a Strat and the worn out frets with Jumbo frets.
I have been playing it since, I have had other guitars in the interim but none of them have been able to match the feel and sound of this guitar.
