"Out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. They're cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap and are very small."
The Fender Mustang is a solid body electric guitar produced by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. It was introduced in 1964 as the basis of a major redesign of Fender's student models, the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic. It was produced until 1982 and reissued in 1990. In the 1990s, the Mustang attained cult status largely as a result of its use by a number of alternative rock bands, in particular grunge bands, most notably played by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. The Mustang features two single-coil pickups, an unusual pickup switching configuration, and an unique vibrato system. It was originally available in two scale lengths: 24 inches (609.6 mm) and 22.5 inches (571.5 mm).
The Mustang would later be used as part of the inspiration for the Jagstang.
