Tone & Feel

There's nothing quite like the feel of a Mustang.

The 24" short scale provides a slinky, comfortable playing experience with lower string tension than a traditional 25.5" Fender scale. Combined with the vintage-style 7.25" fingerboard radius, it gives the guitar an unmistakable old-school Fender feel.

The original Fender Japan Mustang single-coils deliver the bright, punchy, slightly raw character that defines the model. Clean tones have plenty of snap and articulation, while adding overdrive brings out the aggressive character that helped make Mustangs favorites among generations of alternative and rock players.

The traditional Mustang switching system also allows for a variety of pickup combinations, including the distinctive out-of-phase tones that are an important part of the Mustang sound.

At just 7 lbs 0 oz, this guitar is lightweight, well balanced, and exceptionally comfortable whether you're playing at home, recording in the studio, or spending hours on stage.
