1959 Fender Music Master

The Fender Music Master was the company’s least expensive offering upon its introduction in 1956. It featured a ¾” size offset body and shorter 22.5” scale, a single slant-mounted pickup in the neck position, and a cool anodized aluminum pickguard to match its Desert Sand colored lacquer finish. Despite its small size and student-level marketing, the Music Master punches above its weight. It’s a great sounding guitar with a compact and fast feeling neck.

This example is entirely original and has been gorgeously worn by years of one-owner playing. It could easily serve as a relic phenotype for Fender’s custom-shop, and it’s pretty darn incredible.

In good working order but for frets that show heavy wear, the guitar has been set up in shop and is playing as cleanly as it can given the fret condition.

With original hardshell case.
