Fender 1975/2025 Mustang MG-73 Hybrid w/Rosewood – Competition Capri Orange

Fender 1975/2025 Mustang MG-73 Hybrid w/Rosewood – Competition Capri Orange

A beautiful marriage of old and new parts – with a modern 2025 Vintera Capri Orange MG-73 Competition body with vintage pickups, but the star of the show is the neck, it’s a real 1975 USA Fender rosewood neck with pearloid dots, with new Fender F style tuners applied to the old, old wood. Lots of wear, as you’d expect from something now pushing 50-years-old. The numbered F style neckplate is original to the neck, dates to 1975. The string trees are original to the instrument, as is the finish on the neck, so are the decals etc. The neck pickup reads 5.7k, the bridge reads a hot 9.1k. Chicken head knobs do duty on the Volume and Tone controls, a nice vintage looking touch. The frets are freshly leveled, crowned and polished by the guys at Eric’s Guitars in Van Nuys, California. Comes in an aftermarket hardcase with tremolo arm. All the usual in an out of phase switching is stock, all the wiring is of the vintage cloth type, makes lots of great noises, has mad energy, looks and feels great doing it. Weighs a lightweight 7lb and 4oz and is setup on 10s.

Condition

Very good condition, the body is excellent. All wiring, hardware, frets, pickups and electronics are in excellent condition. The guitar has a few nicks and small dents, hard to spot, light hazing, scratches, playwear and patina. Body has a few small flaws. Wiring is upgraded to vintage cloth type. Body has light play wear, one or two small flaws in the finish. The neck has 50 years of indelicate wear, staining and patina, is not new, not pristine. See the pictures, ask for more. As always, lots more pictures of this one at my site which Reverb doesn’t want me to link to, but if you put a dotcom behind my shop name, you’d already be there.
