Player II Mustang®

Fender Player II Mustang®

The Mustang has always punched well above its weight — a compact, comfortable, and surprisingly versatile guitar that has attracted everyone from student players to Kurt Cobain to Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis. The Player II Mustang brings that beloved short-scale personality into the modern era with rolled fingerboard edges, Alnico V pickups, a strings-through-body hardtail bridge, and a satin neck that makes it one of the most comfortable guitars you can pick up at any price. Whatever genre you play, the Mustang has a voice that fits.

Key Features

• Body: Alder — lightweight, resonant, and available in a range of timeless and archive-inspired finishes
• Neck: Modern “C” profile with silky satin urethane back finish for fast, fluid playability
• Fretboard: Maple or rosewood, 9.5″ radius with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets
• Pickups: Two Player Series Alnico V single-coil Mustang® pickups — crystalline highs, musical mids, and tight lows with a uniquely bright and articulate Mustang character
• Switching: 3-way toggle switch for easy selection between neck, bridge, and combined tones
• Bridge: 6-saddle strings-through-body Strat®-style hardtail with bent steel saddles — enhanced sustain and precise intonation without the complexity of a tremolo
