Hall of Fame: 1966 Fender Mustang Electric Guitar - Daphne Blue
Vincent BarrasShare
The Fender Mustang (1964–1969) bridges student and pro guitars, launched in the pre-CBS era as an innovative alternative to traditional designs.
Its offset body, 24-inch scale, alder construction, and rosewood fingerboard offer comfort and unique style, while dual single-coil pickups, a tremolo tailpiece, and on/off switches deliver versatile tones. Favoured by artists like Kurt Cobain and John Frusciante, the Mustang remains a timeless choice for those seeking both history and a distinctive sound.
