What we say:

At A Glance

Fender’s American Performer range brings an excellent selection of the most famous Fender designs, made in the USA, at great prices. Each Fender American Performer model has been specially designed to give gigging guitarists the tones and tools they need for excellent, high quality performances. Special design features, custom wound pickups and fresh new finishes make this range stand out as one for players of all styles to get behind. Fender USA quality at a respectable price. The Mustang is a real statement guitar. The stripped down sensibility has made it a first choice for alternative/indie singer-songwriters and iconic players form a wide range of genres. Fender have wisely included in the American Performer Range, accurately understanding the huge appeal of this model.

Features We Love:

Modern Playability

The biggest concession to modernity here is the spec of the neck. Fender have wisely keep the short 24” scale (it does make a huge difference to the way you play) but have married this to a Modern C profile neck and a 9.5” radius fingerboard with 22 Jumbo frets. Fender are on the money here, making the guitar as playable as possible and fitting with the ethos of the American Performer range.

Greasebucket Tone Circuit

Fender have also included their excellent Greasebucket Tone circuit. The Greasebucket is basically a tone control that does its job properly. Turning back the knob removes treble frequencies without ruining every other part of your sound like some standard tone circuits do. You’ll find yourself using the Tone knob a lot more than before when you have the Greasebucket in there!

Pickups

Mustangs generally tend to have two single coil pickups and these are present and correct here as a set of freshly designed Yosemite models. These are hand-wound units, made for plenty of jangle and sparkle. They sound great with gain too, giving out a raucous voice full of spite and venom.

Pros:

• A modern take on a classic alternative design
• Packed with high performance features
• Perfect for the gigging musician
