From the listing

Seller's description

A 1974 Mustang has just arrived. This particular model is a sunburst Mustang featuring specifications unique to the mid-1970s. It represents a period when the Mustang’s specifications were evolving in a way distinct from the 1960s, making it a model that captures the transitional era of vintage Fender. It is equipped with two original gray-bobbin pickups. The date codes are 1899x for the front and 73774 for the bridge; while the bridge pickup is an original 1974 model, the front pickup may not be from 1974 but could be a stock part from a different year that was installed.

The guitar has been refretted and re-nuted; it retains a vintage feel while being in excellent playing condition. There are signs that the tuning pegs were once replaced, but they have since been restored to what appear to be the original parts. Holes, likely drilled during a previous replacement, can be seen at both ends of the tuning pegs on the 6th and 1st string sides. Additionally, the tuner for the 1st string is slightly stiff. The body features a sunburst finish with a look characteristic of the 1970s. Due to its age, the guitar shows overall signs of wear, including scratches, dents, peeling paint, and weather checking. Although it shows signs of use, it has a dignified, vintage-style appeara
