As cool and easy to play as it was in 1964, the Fender Offset Mustang offers a few key upgrades to the original short-scale, offset design. Two MP-90 single-coil pickups are wired through three-way toggle switching. The modern “C”-shape maple neck with 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets is easier to play than ever, and the six-saddle string-through hardtail bridge adds sustain and reliability.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
You know an offset when you see it, and Fender is the original. These guitars have stirred our imagination from the introduction of the first Fender Jazzmaster in 1958 and have become some of the most popular on the market. Wild, asymmetrical, progressive–they possess a rebellious spirit, their wild cuts and curves tracing the evolution of the electric guitar from novelty to tool of the iconoclast, breaker of molds, gateway to greater horizons, a weapon brandished by of some of the most brilliant artistic minds in history
