This is the picture of 1969 Fender Swinger.
"The Fender Swinger (also known as the Fender Musiclander and Fender Arrow – as the "Swinger" name is usually missing from the headstock) was a short-lived electric guitar model released by Fender in 1969, with few ever made. The Swinger was merely an attempt by CBS (which had bought the company in 1965) to get money out of unused factory stock by combining unused bodies from the failed Fender Bass V with parts from the Fender Musicmaster. Another attempt to use excessive stock was the Fender Custom (aka Fender Maverick). It was marketed as another cheaper, short-scale 'student' type guitar, but never seriously promoted, and low in popularity as a result.
It was however used by Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads in live performances and can be seen in their famous movie Stop Making Sense. It has also been used by Ben Kweller live, and saw the bulk of the guitar work on his most recent self-titled album.
Today, a Fender Swinger is a collectors’ item."

The body is in dark color,
High output Humbucker pickups (bridge & neck),
Improved headstock (think of Jackson, Ibanez or ESP),
Stoptail bridge,
It will be a great Metal guitar. The body shape is really cool! You can get this shape of guitar body at Warmoth.com.
