Fender 65 Mustang - Dakota Red - Rosewood

Fender 65 Mustang - Dakota Red - Rosewood Description

Small and fast—like a sports car!

Fender is proud to reissue the ’65 Mustang guitar (1965 was the first full year of Mustang production). Originally designed as a “student model,” the Mustang was nonetheless destined for greatness, and has been seen slung over the shoulders of great players such as David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren, Graham Coxon and Adrian Belew, to name but a few. A classic revived, and a real beauty at that!
