From the listing

Seller's description

A 1969 Mustang in ideal player's condition! A 1969 Mustang has just arrived. The color is Competition Orange, featuring a racing stripe design. Matching heads were exclusive to models built between 1969 and 1970. The CBS logo decal is a white-letter decal created exclusively for the Competition Mustang with a matching headstock. Based on the wood grain visible in the neck pocket, the body material is believed to be alder. Additionally, the body features a contoured profile. When it comes to body materials, it seems many Mustang players prefer the era when Fender used its standard materials—alder and basswood—rather than the periods when poplar or mahogany were used. Perhaps this is because it allows them to more easily experience the familiar Fender sound.
