Player's Perspective

We just got another gorgeous Fender American Performer Mustang in a slick Sonic Blue finish!

Offsets are among the coolest guitars Fender has to offer, and we're stoked that an American-made Mustang is available at an affordable price with all the features needed to get that iconic offset tone and feel. This is the no-flash, no-frills workhorse Mustang you've been looking for, and we're proud to offer it to the discerning player.

Sporting vintage looks, it's been brought into the 21st century with all the features a performing musician needs to succeed both in the studio and on stage. The modern C neck shape is familiar and comfortable and is the closest to "one size fits all" a Mustang neck can get. This guitar also features amazing-sounding Yosemite Mustang pickups that have all the musical clarity and warmth of vintage pickups, while having a modern edge that sits well in a contemporary band mix.

Whether you're after rich, creamy lead tones or chimey indie rhythm sounds strumming the most beautiful of chords, this guitar's got you covered - and combined with effortless yet classic Fender playability, this Mustang is going to take care of you for years to come, without a doubt.
