Fender Mustang

The Fender Mustang started out as a student model back when it was originally released in 1964. This was partly due to the shorter 24" scale length and simplified electronics. It is now regarded as an alternative culture classic and continues to be the guitar of choice for both beginners and pros.

The Mustang has gained a lot of credibility among indie and alternative artists. Bands such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have all used Mustangs. There are guitar and bass models available at a number of different price points. This offers the flexibility for players to find the one best suited to their budget and style of playing. The Fender Mustang ranges includes American Performer, Vintera and Mustang Bass models.

In terms of specific models, a Vintera Mustang keeps with the traditional feel and style that has made it such a favourite. A Player 90 model offers a hardtail and P90 pickups for straight forward performance. This selection allows for a new generation of artists to discover the particular charm of the Fender Mustang.
