Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Fender MP-90 pickups Snarling tone with plenty of midrange bite
Strings-thru-body hardtail bridge Strings seated in body; more resonance and control

Perfect for garage rock and other styles that thrive on nonconformity, the Mustang 90 offers a distinctive take on a classic model. With upgraded features, unique aesthetics and fat Fender sound, this spirited instrument is perfect for players that march to a different beat. A new take on an underground classic, it stays true to the rebellious spirit that birthed rock 'n' roll.

Patrick Droney shows off the new Fender Mustang 90:


Tonally flexible, the pair of Mustang MP-90 pickups have all the bite and pristine cleans you've come to expect from Fender pickups, with a snarly midrange and punchy low end that breathes new life into the traditional Mustang sound. Master volume and tone controls, along with a conventional three-way pickup switch, shape the pickups' tone to craft your sound. Topped by a 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, the "C"-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles. The six- saddle string-through-body hardtail Strat bridge increases sustain while the bent steel saddles add a touch of "cut" to your sound, and are adjustable for spot-on intonation. The 24" scale is ideal for players with smaller hands, while adding a bit of warmth and thickness to the guitar's inherent tone and giving it a slinkier playing feel.

This guitar's smaller body easily fits those with smaller frames while maintaining Fender's classic stylistic appeal, and is also great for energetic stage performances thanks to its light weight. A gloss polyester read more finish protects the body while the neck bears a satin polyurethane finish for fast, easy playability. A hot-rodded take on an indie hero, the Mustang 90 is the ideal guitar for the new wave of players who desire modern features and classic short-scale style. read less

I wanted something different than the strat style guitars I love. This guitar is my first with p-90 pups and they are fantastic. The volume and tone controls give a lot of usable range to shape the tone. With the shorter scale, string through body/hardtail bridge and the light weight it really resonates. Add in the p90's and it just sustains forever. I wish I had this guitar 10 years ago. It did need a truss rod adjustment out of the box, otherwise it was well setup. Usual excellent Fender MIM fit and finish. I added some DR 11-50, gave it a setup and it just sings!

Musical Background:

I am a lifelong hobbyist musician with a guitar always nearby

Musical Style:

I love the blues, classic rock of the 60's and 70's, jazz and three chord rock and roll.
