I’m interested in some views and opinions on Fender Mustangs – 1960/1970s rather than later re-issues.
Probably throw Duosonics in the mix as well.
I’m after an older guitar for mainly clean/cleanish tones

If you need greater output for overdriven sounds and are not fussy about vintage originality, it would be worth modifying the wiring to add the option to link both pickups in series. Alternatively, whack in a Hot Rails or Li'l 'bucker.
Might be worth communicating with @HarrySeven about this.
I haven't decided on my selling price at the moment - I need to do a little homework but it will be a realistic.

To me they always feel like they play (and sound) better than the more expensive Jaguar, but, perhaps that's just personal as I can never bond with Jags... no matter how much i want to.
Mustangs sound lovely clean, specially the neck+middle position. If you can pick up a late 60s one that needs a bit of tlc for a good price I reckon it's a good way to go. I had a 77 which was great, but the 60s bodies will be lighter normally as they are poplar rather than ash. Those vintage pickups sound lovely of course, but modern handwound offerings from the usual suspects are all pretty great too.
