mustang

A student guitar made by fender in 1964. A more advanced version of the fender duo-sonic. The main difference between the two is the dynamic tremelo bridge on the mustang. The mustang also had dual sliding phase switches, allowing the pickups to go out of phase. Another similar guitar was the single pickup musicmaster. All were made in three colors: (daphne)blue, (dakota) red, and (olympic) white. After the CBS takeover in 1965, the mustang was finished in competition colors with a muscle car style stripe. There was competition red, blue, and orange. Later the mustang was discontinued. But after a famous Japanese musician started playing them in the 80s, they were reissued in Japan. Kurt Cobain also used them. more recently, Fender started importing them to the United States.

Many musicians used mustangs, including Jimi Hendrix.
