Body and Neck A four-screw bolt-on neck connects the Poplar body and Maple neck – a relatively lightweight yet sturdy combination. You’ll feel right at home on the C-shaped neck profile with an easy playing 9.5” radius. The Mustang uses a 24” scale length, which is extremely comfortable for small hands and great for chords. The Indian Laurel fingerboard evokes true classic vibes and feels smooth underneath the tall and narrow frets. These are a real throwback to mid-twentieth century guitars, unlike most modern variants equipped with jumbo frets. Sound Fender are the parent company of Squier and this brings loads of benefits, like superb alnico pickups. These Fender-designed single coils produce a retro twangy sound that’s great for indie and rock music. They’re more aggressive than you might think, and you can lure a real punchy tone out of them. Hardware The Mustang utilises a classic floating bridge system for strong bends or smooth tremolo effects. You can get truly creative with your playing. It also features a 1960s inspired large headstock, nickel-plated hardware and a tinted gloss neck finish to get you in the swinging sixties mood.
