The Fender American Performer Mustang Rosewood Fingerboard electric guitar is an innovative take on the iconic offset electric guitar. This short-scale instrument blends the authentic Fender tone and feel with contemporary features for inspiring playability.

Yosemite Single-Coil Pickups Provide Expressive Tone

The American Performer Mustang is equipped with Fender's Yosemite single-coil pickups, which produce rich and dynamic sounds perfect for any playing situation. The flat-staggered pole pieces increase output while the shellac coating allows the coils to breathe, resulting in controlled feedback and a wide range of tones.

Modern C-Shaped Neck Offers Supreme Playability

The American Performer Mustang features a modern C-shaped maple neck that provides exceptional playability. The 9.5" rosewood fingerboard radius and 22-jumbo frets allow for comfortable chording and effortless string bending. The 24" scale length makes extended stretches and complex chords easily accessible for players with smaller hands.

Vintage-Modern Mustang Bridge Anchors Strings

The American Performer Mustang includes a vintage-modern Mustang bridge with grooved saddles to keep strings securely in place during energetic playing. The bridge contributes to the overall tone and performance of this short-scale guitar.

Additional High-Performance Features

Other premium features of the American Performer Mustang include an alder body for balanced tone, Greasebucket tone circuitry to shape highs without adding bass, and ClassicGear tuning machines for rock-solid intonation.
