Description
This Classic Vibe '60s Mustang is a great match for beginners or intermediate players looking for something with vintage flair and approachable playability. The Competition Burgandy finish is especially cool-it's an iridescent color that's mostly blue with a hint of burgundy depending on the light, plus you've got those three light blue competition stripes across the forearm cut for a bold look that stands out. It's a short-scale build inspired by the original '60s Mustangs, and that vibe comes through in the design and tone.
You're getting a pair of Fender-designed alnico single-coils, so there's plenty of snap and chime on tap, especially with that unique Mustang wiring setup. Each pickup has its own on/off and phase switch, which gives you a wider tonal range than most dual-single-coil guitars. A floating bridge and dynamic vibrato tailpiece keep it fun and expressive, while the poplar body and Indian laurel fingerboard round out a solid feature set that's ready for practice, performance, or home recording.
The slim "C"-shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets feels fast and comfortable, especially for smaller hands or players who like to rip around on the short 24" scale. The vintage-style tuners and nickel-plated hardware hold up well with tuning and reliability. We think this one really nails that Mustang feel without getting in your way-and it's got enough personality in the finish and controls to keep it interesting every time you plug in.
