Player Series Mustang
Since 1964, Mustang models have brought fender sound and fender style to the stage and studio, with the hands of leading players from Nirvana to The 1975.
The redesigned, performance-focused Mustang boasts a classic style with modern electronics on a short scale that's super comfortable to play overnight.
The two single coils play traditional fender tones for each note and chord.
These low-powered pickups produce a well-balanced bell-like high-range harmonics, punchy midrange, and thick low-range, and are not lost through the mixer. The master volume and tone controls work together with the 3-way pickup switch to produce sound.
With a 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, the C-shaped maple neck is suitable for all playing styles and is ideal for players with smaller hands and extended chords ..
6 Saddle string through body hardtail Strat bridge for added sustain.
The compact size body is ideal for energetic stage performances, ideal for smaller people and has a sophisticated ergonomic design.
The enthusiasticly popular Mustang has evolved into an underground champion who laid the foundation for grunge and modern alternative rock, starting with the student model.
