Introduced just before the CBS takeover of Fender, the Mustang was part of a redesign of Fender's line of student level guitars which included the Duo-sonic and Musicmaster. The Mustang offered somewhat more sophisticated electronics than earlier student guitars and also featured a 24-inch scale length. In its earliest era, the Mustang was available in a shorter 22 1/2-inch scale length, but these guitars are very uncommon. Since being discontinued in 1982, the Mustang has been reissued a number of times, and has found some popularity among alternative and indie rock players. <b><br><br>Years of Production:</b> 1964 - 1982<br><br><b>Body Style:</b> Offset solidbody <br><br><b>Wood Composition: </b>Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Rosewood fingerboard<br><br><b>Design Elements: </b>Bolt-on neck, dot inlays, two single-coil pickups with no visible pole-pieces, tremolo tailpiece, two on/off pickup switches, master volume and tone controls<br><br><b>Finish Specifications: </b>Daphne Blue is an original finish for the Mustang. <br><br><b>Notable Players: </b> Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, David Byrne
