Since the late 1990s, Ben Gibbard has been a prominent voice in indie rock as singer-songwriter for the platinum-selling band Death Cab for Cutie, and Ben’s modified ‘70s Fender Mustangs have been his preferred touring choice for years. The Ben Gibbard Mustang from Fender recreates these modified touring workhorses and adds some bold enhancements into the mix. Featuring a lightweight chambered ash body design for increased resonance and a modern “C”-shaped maple neck, this guitar is a comfortable and versatile stage performer. Electronics include a set of custom, vintage-inspired Ben Gibbard Mustang pickups and a stage-ready 3-way rotary pickup selector switch along with an innovative modified hardtail setup for rock-solid stability, intonation and sustain.
