Fender Player Series Mustang Guitar Black

The new Fender Mustang with maple fretboard (in Black) is the latest reissue of the popular offset model, which went from being a "value" instrument when it was first released, to become synonymous with "alternative rock" since being used by bands such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Nirvana in the 90's.

This new and improved hardtail version will help the Mustang guitar to remain as popular as ever, delivering great playing feel and oustanding tone.

An All-new Take on an Alternative Classic

Since 1964 the Mustang model has been bringing Fender sound and style to the stage and the studio in the hands of trend-setting players ranging from Nirvana to The 1975. Upgraded with performance-oriented features, this new Mustang sports classic style with modern electronics in an ultra-comfortable short-scale form that’s easy to play all night long.

Incredibly Versatile

Tonally flexible, the pair of angled single-coil pickups make every note and chord pop with authentic Fender tone. These low-output pickups have a balanced voice with bell-like upper harmonics, punchy mids and thick lows for a sound that easily cuts through a mix, whilst the master volume and tone controls, along with a threeway pickup switch, help craft your sound.

Lightweight and Comfortable to Play

Topped by a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, the “C”-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and ideal for players with smaller hands, or those who use extended chord forms. The guitar’s smaller body is perfect for energetic stage performances and ideal for those with smaller frames while retaining Fender’s famous ergonomic design aesthetic.

High Quality Construction

The six-saddle stringthrough-body hardtail Strat® bridge increases sustain while the bent steel saddles add a touch of “cut” to your tone, and are adjustable for spot-on intonation, whilst the 24” scale adds a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar’s inherent tone, granting a slinkier playing feel, and making it easier to perform multi-step bends. A gloss polyester finish protects the body while the neck bears a satin polyurethane finish for fast, easy playability.

The aesthetic appointments add a touch of classic Fender style to this modernized design for dazzling style under the spotlights. A cult favorite, the Mustang has evolved from a student-oriented model to the underground champion that laid the foundation for grunge and modern alternative rock.
