Player Mustang , Maple Fingerboard, Sienna Sunburst

Since 1964 the Mustang model has been bringing sound and style to the stage and the studio in the hands of trend-setting players ranging from Nirvana to The 1975. Upgraded with performance-oriented features, this new Mustang sports classic style with modern electronics in an ultra-comfortable short-scale form that s easy to play all night long. Tonally flexible, the pair of angled single-coil pickups make every note and chord pop with authentic tone. These low-output pickups have a balanced voice with bell-like upper harmonics, punchy mids and thick lows for a sound that easily cuts through a mix. Topped by a 9.5 inch-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, the C-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and ideal for players with smaller hands, or those who use extended chord forms. The six-saddle string-through-body hardtail Strat bridge increases sustain while the bent steel saddles add a touch of cut to your tone. The 24 inch scale adds a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar s inherent tone, while granting a slinkier playing feel, making it easier to perform multi-step bends. The guitar s smaller body is perfect for energetic stage performances and ideal for those with smaller frames while retaining s famous ergonomic design aesthetic. A cult favorite, the Mustang has evolved from a student-oriented model to the underground champion that laid the foundation for grunge and modern alternative rock.
