Standout Features – Vintage Inspiration, Modern Precision

What sets this instrument apart is the mid '60s "C"-shaped maple neck paired with vintage-style single-coil Mustang pickups, custom-voiced to recreate the articulate, sparkling tones of the original models. The addition of a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and clay dot inlays gives a period-authentic look, while the vintage-style floating tremolo bridge supports expressive pitch changes with stable tuning.

Body & Neck Materials – Core to Mustang Sound

Material selection is at the heart of the Mustang's punchy attack and resonant character. Alder provides a balanced tonal base, and the maple neck ensures snappy response and long-term stability. Rosewood fingerboard brings warmth and a smooth feel under your fingertips.

• Body Material: Alder — delivers lively, balanced sound with strong mids and full low-end.
• Neck Material: Maple — improves clarity and offers a reliable, comfortable platform for playing.
• The rosewood fingerboard offers warmth and a luxurious playing surface, enhancing every note you play.

Playability – Effortless Bends and Comfort

Short scale length and thoughtful neck shaping give the Mustang its inviting playability. The 610 mm (24") scale creates a slinkier string feel for easier bends and complex chords, while the 184 mm (7.25") fingerboard radius and mid '60s "C"-profile neck ensure comfort. With 22 vintage tall frets, vibrato and note control become more expressive.

• Scale Length: 610 mm — compact, slinky feel perfect for smaller hands or expressive bends.
• Fingerboard Radius: 184 mm — rounded, vintage-style curve encourages smooth transitions between chords.
