Fender American Performer Mustang, 3-Color Sunburst

Full Description

Superb electronic enhancements

An advanced dimension. The famed Yosemite single-coil pickups are crafted to produce that dynamic, expressive tone, typical of vintage Mustangs. Flat-staggered pole pieces are fitted across both pickups for increased output, along with a shellac coating to gift a heightened flexibility to the coil.

Paint your tone to ultimate precision, with the hailed Greasebucket tone circuit. This unique modification equips you with the freedom to sculpt your highs, without adding bass. Emit sparkling clean tones with added delicacy, or rather maintain a distinct, overdriven sound that breathes effortless clarity.

Colour your sound with the inclusion of inductors and capacitors to the pickup circuitry, creating resonant peaks and valleys and preventing your tone from becoming muddy. An iconic sound, re-imagined.

Limitless tremolo expression

Decorate your sound with a personal touch. The Performer Mustang remains faithful to the original model, with a vintage-style Mustang bridge and tremolo system. Featuring grooved saddles and a floating bridge design, you can immerse yourself in a performance of individual finesse, with your strings remaining where they belong at all times.

A design exclusive to the Mustang, indulge in a unique feel that opens up opportunities for an innovative approach to guitar-playing. Define your tone, your way.

The feel of Fender

Timeless. When it comes to playability, few possess the expertise that Fender have acquired over years of masterful guitar production. Much of this is due to the careful selection of high-end tonewoods used across the entirety of Fender's product range - and it doesn't stop at the American Performer series...

Experience a well-rounded, textured sound, thanks to the impeccably balanced resonance of the alder body. Alder is renowned for providing players with an even distribution of low, mid and high frequencies to deliver a full-bodied tone. Used across multiple classic Fender models, it's versatility and comfortably light weight makes it a favourite for guitarists of all styles.

Indulge in a world of astonishing warmth and purity. The rosewood fretboard has been an integral component of the Mustang's signature sound since its initial release in 1964. Layered on top of a "Modern C"- shaped, maple neck, you'll witness sublime note definition across all 22 frets, along with a comfortable hold that suits all playing styles. It's time to unchain your creativity.

Influential design restores legendary tone

A sound for the ages. The Fender Mustang combines exceptional quality of design, with a truly personal feel for you to unleash a sound that belongs to the player.

At the forefront of the 90's vintage movement, the Mustang soon became a favourite among grunge and punk guitarists. With notable users including Kurt Cobain, Rory Gallagher, and John Frusciante, Fender couldn't help but ignite the scene with a re-issue of the famed guitar model. Since then, the Mustang has taken stage across venues globally. Now, as part of the breathtaking American Performer series, Fender have revived the illustrious Mustang in remarkable fashion. A classic, reborn.

Includes deluxe gig bag

Take your sound wherever you go. With a deluxe Fender gig bag included at no additional cost, you can gain peace-of-mind that your Performer Mustang is secure in all environments. Containing a padded interior, your guitar remains safely protected from any potential scratches or scrapes that may occur. Ideal for a musician on the move.

Crafted with care

Fender have been crafting the very best guitars in the business for over 70 years. They've always been at the forefront of developing instruments that continually raise the bar of quality for the music industry. With the Telecaster, they made the first successful solid body electric guitar. In the Strat, they invented distinctive sound that would drive rock 'n' roll to its status as one of the most well-loved music genres in existence. Their Precision and Jazz basses brought more power to bass playing than ever.

A company rooted in sonic revolution, Fender have returned to their Californian roots with the American Performer series. This is a stunning collection of instruments, each of which is designed in their Corona factory in the USA to provide vintage feel and sound, combined with superb, modern performance. These really are one-of-a-kind, and continue Fender's long tradition of changing the game in terms of guitar manufacture. Get yourself an American Performer for unique quality to last a lifetime.
