Performance Features That Set This Mustang Apart

Returning to a genuine slab rosewood fingerboard—a rarity today—gives players a premium, nuanced tone. Player Series Alnico V Mustang single-coil pickups deliver both crystalline clarity and a strong midrange punch. The 6-saddle Strat-style hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles provides accurate intonation and unwavering tuning even during intense gigs.

Neck & Fretboard Crafted for Comfort and Speed

Players seeking speed and seamless transitions will notice the modern "C" maple neck, which sports a satin urethane finish for a silky touch. With 22 medium jumbo frets and a 9.5" (241 mm) fingerboard radius with rolled edges, chord changes become effortless and bends stay smooth, whether soloing or playing rhythm parts.

• Fingerboard Material: Slab Rosewood — valued for natural warmth and luxurious feel
• Fluid bends and easy movement across the 241 mm fingerboard radius make this neck versatile for any style.
• Number of Frets: 22 — expands melodic potential for creative players
