Fender Player II Mustang 3 Colour Sunburst Electric Guitar Maple Fingerboard
Fender Player II Mustang 3 Colour Sunburst Electric Guitar Maple Fingerboard – Step into the spotlight and experience iconic Fender® sound and style with the Player II Mustang® — a stage-ready guitar with contemporary updates to power your performance and inspire your playing. The Player II Mustang radiates timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it’s primed for today’s players. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C”-profile with silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfy 9.5”-radius slab rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. A classic alder body is available in both timeless Fender finishes and never-before-seen colors unearthed from the archives. Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Mustang® pickups offer crystalline highs, musical mids and tight lows that elevate any genre. The 3-way toggle switch lets you easily dial in everything from glassy neck pickup chime to cutting bridge pickup snarl and all points in between, while a 6-saddle hardtail bridge, bent steel saddles and ClassicGear™ tuners ensure precise tuning stability for the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities. Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Mustang has the looks, tone and feel that only a Fender delivers.
Slinky 24-inch scale length
Inspired by Fender’s Mustang and Duo-Sonic guitars of yore, the Player II Mustang significantly deviates from the standard Fender formula with its 24-inch scale length. This scale locks in at a full 1.5 inches shorter than the Tele, Strat, and Jazzmaster, which naturally leads to a far slinkier feel under your fingers. Moreover, short-scale Fenders like the Player II Mustang boast a tone all their own, supplying a slightly snappier and more percussive attack; it’s a tone like no other, which is one of the many reasons why the Mustang has long been endorsed by grunge, alternative, and indie-rock guitarists as an idiosyncratic alternative to your bog-standard 6-string benchmarks.
Punchy Player series single-coil pickups
Just what is lurking under the Mustang’s plastic-covered pickups? The truth is that Mustang pickups — including the Player series Alnico V Mustang pickups found on this model — are historically quite similar to Stratocaster pickups in construction, only with flush pole pieces to accommodate the charming covers. However, coupled with the Mustang’s short 24-inch scale, their uniquely angled arrangement results in a focused, chiming, and surprisingly mellow tone that’s ever championed by our short-scale supporters.
Sleek Modern “C” neck
The Player II Mustang pairs its vintage Fender heritage with a host of modern performance-minded updates. Slick playability and buzz-out-free bends are yours across the breadth of the fingerboard thanks to the 9.5-inch radius and medium-jumbo frets — a far cry from the speed-bump vintage frets and round 7.25-inch radius found on almost all vintage and reissue Mustangs. What’s more, the Modern “C” neck provides supreme comfort and a fast feel, accommodating players of all styles and hand sizes with a “just-right” carve.
