Fender's Iconic Offset Packs Major Rock 'n' Roll Vibes

The Fender Player Series Mustang reintroduces one of the most popular offset-body guitars in the world, now with some Player Series updates that are sure to be a hit with modern players. The Mustang's 24" scale length keeps string tension slinky and is ideal for performers with a smaller reach. Its duet of covered single-coils sounds positively spanky run clean and devastating through your favorite fuzz pedal. A great-playing Player Series "C" neck with 9.5"-radius fingerboard keeps chording comfortable amid marathon sessions, and a hardtail bridge makes intonation a total non-event. A design choice we at Sweetwater particularly enjoy in the Player Series Mustang is the streamlined control set — Volume, Tone, and 3-way — which makes it fast and easy to divine those rock and surf tones you're searching for.

Iconic offset construction

The Fender Mustang is one of the most identifiable and sought-after offset electric guitar body styles in the world. Its compact dimensions not only imbue it with plenty of character, but it remains lightweight and extremely comfortable for smaller players. This Player Series Mustang carries with it the standard Mustang 24" scale length that maintains lower string tension for easy chording and a warm and sultry tone. One look at the Mustang, and you'll know this solidbody electric guitar was built for today's boundary-pushing guitarists.

Two Fender angled single-coil pickups

The soul of any great Mustang is its angled single-coil pickups, and the Player Series Mustang proves to be no exception. These new designs maintain the clear and organic tones of traditional Mustang single-coils, while offering a full, strat-like tonality that further expands the Mustang's versatile voice. A 3-way toggle selects between the tubular-sounding neck pickup and aggressive bridge unit. And the Mustang's 2-knob control layout makes dialing in your tones a simple affair.

Neck designed for the modern player

Another aspect of the Mustang that has been updated for the demands of today's guitarists is its neck. While the Players Series Mustang does indeed boast a vintage-correct 24" scale length, its fingerboard is designed with a 9.5" radius. Fender has been using this radius for a long time because it offers comfortable chording and unimpeded single-note playing and bending. The neck profile is a "C" shape that fills your hand in a very satisfying manner. And 22 medium-jumbo frets are a wonderful middle ground for all sorts of styles.

Fender Player Series Mustang Electric Guitar Features:

  • Offset design packs major rock 'n' roll vibes
  • 24" scale length is great for smaller reaches
  • Hardtail bridge maintains tuning stability
  • 2 angled single-coil pickups blend Mustang and Strat tonalities
  • Straightforward electronics package: Volume, Tone, 3-way
  • Comfortable 9.5" fingerboard radius

Rated 4/5

It's a great guitar, but is it a Mustang?

I'm stoked to see a new line of colors come out for these. No doubt, they are a great instrument and easy to play for hours on end. With owning a couple MIM strats, this was a bit of an adjustment for me. I grabbed the shell pink model last season and have had some time to adjust. It's an ideal for modding due to it's simplicity, but if you want a real Mustang experience, you'll end up spending several hundred dollars more modding it to be like the Squire Classic Vibe, which is already a couple hundred dollars less. First thing I switched out were the pickups, and grabbed some Fralins. On the market now for a tremelo, I never realized how bare they are without it.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them!
