Overview
Since the late 1990s, Ben Gibbard has been a prominent voice in indie rock as singer-songwriter for the platinum-selling band Death Cab for Cutie. His melodic, personal songwriting style and the band's powerful sound helped pave the way for generations of musicians to follow. Ben's modified '70s Fender Mustang guitars have been his preferred touring choice for years. The Ben Gibbard Mustang recreates his modified touring workhorses and adds some bold new enhancements.
Featuring a chambered ash body design for increased resonance and reduced weight and a one-piece 22-fret modern "C"-shaped maple neck with 9.5" radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this guitar is a comfortable and versatile stage performer. Electronics include a set of custom, vintage-inspired Ben Gibbard Mustang pickups and a stage-ready 3-way rotary pickup selector switch. What appears to be a vintage- style Mustang bridge is actually an innovative modified hardtail setup, providing rock-solid stability, intonation and sustain.
Includes strap locks and a Fender gig bag.

"Wonderful instrument!"

This guitar is simply fantastic! Very beautiful and sounds great! The fit and finish couldn’t be better. I only had to do minor adjustment to the truss rod and set the action to my preferred height and it was ready to go! It plays extremely well! I’m very happy with my purchase. ZZounds couldn’t be a better music company to work with! I got my instrument the day after I ordered it! This guitar and ZZounds are highly recommended by me!
