General
Thanks to its compact body and short scale length of 24 inches, the Fender Mustang is one of the most accessible offset models. This '60s Mustang from Fender's Vintera series has an authentic vintage vibe and is available for a more attractive price than the American Original or Custom Shop models. It has an alder body, a thin C neck profile and a pau ferro fretboard that has a rounded 7.25-inch radius and 22 vintage frets.
Vintera '60s Mustang: authentic sound
The Vintera series follows on from the Classic series and this model now sports Alnico 5 pickups instead of ceramic ones. In this case, both of the vintage-style '60s single-coils have been specially voiced for the Mustang to give you an authentic sound. The master volume, master tone, 3-way pickup switch and two sliders ensure plenty of versatility too. Adding vibrato effects to your playing is easy as well thanks to the vintage-style tremolo bridge.
