Fender Mustang (1964 - 1969)

Par un écrivain mystérieux

Description

Introduced just before the CBS takeover of Fender, the Mustang was part of a redesign of Fender's line of student level guitars which included the Duo-sonic and Musicmaster. The Mustang offered somewhat more sophisticated electronics than earlier student guitars and also featured a 24-inch scale length. In its earliest era, the Mustang was available in a shorter 22 1/2-inch scale length, but these guitars are very uncommon. Since being discontinued in 1982, the Mustang has been reissued a number of times, and has found some popularity among alternative and indie rock players.  Years of Production: 1964 - 1982 Body Style: Offset solidbody  Wood Composition: Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Rosewood fingerboard Design Elements: Bolt-on neck, dot inlays, two single-coil pickups with no visible pole-pieces, tremolo tailpiece, two on/off pickup switches, master volume and tone controls Finish Specifications: Daphne Blue is an original finish for the Mustang.  Notable Players:  Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, David Byrne
