About Mustang

The Fender Mustang, a guitar that made its debut in 1964, remains a beloved choice for musicians across various genres. Originally designed as a student model, its lightweight body and unique design quickly found a home in the hands of professional players. Known for its shorter 24-inch scale length, the Mustang features distinctive pickup configurations that provide a wide array of tonal possibilities. Its comfortable playability has made it a staple in the arsenals of indie and alternative rock artists for decades.
