About the Fender Mustang
Fender Mustang started out as an expansion of previous Fender "student models" such as the single pickup musicmaster and duo sonic and it was originally released in 1964. The guitar features classic Fender specs such as a maple neck with maple or rosewood fingerboard, typically a body made from Alder, Ash, or Poplar, and 2 single coil pickups. Unique features for the Mustang though include its very own vibrato system The Mustang, a short scale length of just 24" was a mainstay of the Fender lineup until it was discontinued in 1982. However, in the 1990's the Mustang saw revival with its reissue and more notably its popularity with the equally iconic Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. This cemented the Fender Mustang guitar as not only a cult classic for many, but an absolute mainstay in the Fender catalogue.
The original Mustang has been through many changes over the years with many variations, from the classic two single coil pickups, to some models featuring humbucking pickups, a variety of classic fender colours from dakota red, to daphne blue sometimes with the classic natural maple headstock or sometimes a matching headstock. If you're looking for a Mustang there are so many options to choose from given the success of the model.
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.
