The Fender mustang made its debut in 1964 as the beginning on a new line of Fender student Guitars. It was used commonly in surf rock music and made a come back in the 90s alternative rock and grunge scene. The Mustang has a fairly bright and mellow tone which is due in part to its duel single coil pickup configuration.
Its wiring is unique in the fact that it lacks a traditional pick up selector but does have 2 switches. The first switch allows you to use each pickup individually or use both pickups simultaneously. The other switch allow each pickup to reverse its phase allowing for a variety of tones. Reversing the phase could result in a very thin and light sound while syncing the phases can yield a more full bodied tone. The tremolo system on the mustang was an all new design by Leo Fender called the Fender Dynamic Vibrato which is very sensitive yet simple and is the most prominent feature of the Mustang. The Fender Mustang is a very cool guitar with a great retro vibe.
