A clean Mustang from 1972 finished in striking Competition Red with contrasting cream racing stripes. Presented in very good condition and complete with its original hard shell case, it is a nice example from the final years of the original Competition Mustang period.
This example remains in very good overall condition for its age, and has some attractive lacquer checking together with a small number of minor dings and light play wear consistent with careful use over the last 50 odd years. The Competition Red finish remains vibrant and eye catching. There is a small area of wear on the rear upper edge where the translucent red top coat has chipped to reveal the gold base coat - see pictures.
There are a few minor changes. The volume pot has been replaced, but the remainder of the electronics including the pickups, tone pot, capacitor, switches and wiring are original. There is a small repair to the low E tuner button, while the high E tuner has been replaced at some point with a correct vintage replacement. The tremolo arm is a modern repro.
The two pick ups and switching system on Mustangs offers a good range of tonal options. Each pickup can be switched on, off or placed in reverse polarity, allowing the two pickups to be used individually or combined both in and out of phase.
Comes with the original Fender hard shell case, which is in good condition.
