Iconic offset construction
The Fender Mustang is one of the most identifiable and sought-after offset electric guitar body styles in the world. Its compact dimensions not only imbue it with plenty of character but also help it remain lightweight and extremely comfortable for smaller players. This American Special Mustang Sweetwater USA Exclusive carries with it the standard Mustang 24" scale length that maintains lower string tension for easy chording and a warm, stringy tone. One look at this Mustang, and you'll know this solidbody electric guitar was built for today's boundary-pushing guitarists.
Two Fender Atomic humbucking pickups
The American Special Mustang Sweetwater USA Exclusive separates itself from vintage Mustangs with a duet of Fender Atomic humbucking pickups. These humbuckers offer much higher output than Mustang-style single-coils and midrange grunt for players wanting to work their amps a bit harder. And the guitar's volume knob can be pulled to split the coils, allowing you to access tones that come amazingly close to the stringy and clear tones vintage Mustangs are known for.
Sweetwater-exclusive appointments
Besides the Fender Atomic humbuckers, this American Special Mustang is loaded with more features that make it a Sweetwater USA exclusive. The body is carved from lightweight alder, which is a favorite Fender tonewood for its balanced sound. Anchored to that alder body is an Adjusto-Matic bridge and tailpiece. This style of bridge is fantastic at coupling your string's energy to the guitar's body, resulting in more sustain and a thicker tone.
