The Fender Mustang, introduced in 1964, is a solid-body electric guitar known for its unique design and short scale. Initially a student model, it gained cult status in the ’90s, especially among grunge bands like Nirvana. The Mustang features two single-coil pickups, a distinctive pickup switching system, and a unique vibrato. Over the years, it has undergone various redesigns and reissues, including the Kurt Cobain Signature model and modern versions with updated features. Its short scale, affordability, and modifiable design have made it popular among both amateur and professional musicians.
