Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Justin Meldal-Johnsen Road Worn Mustang is a right-handed, four-string electric bass centered on a 30-inch scale and a custom Seymour Duncan split single-coil pickup. Fender pairs the alder body with a maple bolt-on neck and rosewood fingerboard; the rolled edges are intended to give the neck a familiar, comfortable feel. Its Road Worn treatment includes visible wear, worn-through paint, and aged hardware. A deluxe gig bag is included for transport and storage.
