Fender’s Player II Mustang represents a modernized reimagining of the brand’s short-scale alternative icon, elevating the alternative style and sound of the original with enhanced performance and playability. It all starts with a slim slab body comprised of alder and a 6-saddle hardtail bridge that forgoes the tremolo unit of the original for a more stable and secure feel. Two angled Player series Alnico V single-coil Mustang pickups grant you the chiming highs, firm bass, and snappy short-scale pop that have made the Mustang a standard-issue 6-string among grunge, alternative, and indie-rock guitarists for decades. Hop on over to the opposite end to be rewarded with a fast-playing Modern “C” neck profile, a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, and medium-jumbo frets — a formidable fretboard formula that’s sure to please players of all stripes with slick bends and effortless chording. Wrap it all up with Fender ClassicGear tuners and an array of all-new colors unearthed from the Fender archives, and the Fender Player II Mustang is a stage-ready short-scale that’s sure to make a splash!
