One volume control, one tone control, one pickup. The Musicmaster is the very definition of a no-fuss guitar. This guitar is obviously meant for cowboy chord playing and not soloing, especially considering it has a 7.25" fingerboard radius. You could load heavier gauge strings on a Musicmaster and still have a very easy-playing guitar. What that means is you get real Fender, real vintage, and something that's easier to play than a Stratocaster or Telecaster.Īs far as I'm aware, all the vintage Musicmasters are top-loaders, meaning that in addition to the super short scale making it ridiculously easy to play, the top-loaded strings lessens the tension for even easier play. This guitar was designed from the start to be a very easy player. What makes the pre-CBS Musicmaster possibly the ultimate retirement guitar is that it has a super short 22.5" scale. While true the guitar was made all the way up until 1982, of course the best ones are the pre-CBS era '59 to '64 models. This one in particular is for the older gents with hands that don't work as well as they used to.įirstly, the Musicmaster shown above is from this listing, and you can see a bunch of other ones right here, so if you want to know where to find these things, there you go.įender Musicmaster was Fender's student guitar. My reading audience goes all over the place as far as age is concerned. It's real-deal Fender vintage, it's available, and there's one other rather nice advantage to owning one of these. Fender Musicmaster might be the ultimate retirement guitar
