The Fender Mustang made its debut in the mid-1960s as a student model but quickly earned cult status among punk, grunge, and indie players. Its short 24-inch scale makes it easy to play, while the offset body adds comfort and style. With its distinctive switching system, punchy single-coils, and lively tone, the Mustang delivers a raw, energetic sound that’s perfect for players who like to keep things simple and expressive. From Kurt Cobain to modern bedroom producers, the Mustang remains a symbol of effortless cool.
