Fender MIJ Traditional Mustang Special Run 3-Colour Sunburst With Reverse Headstock

For those in the know, Fender’s MIJ models are the Lexus to the Cadillac of the company’s US-made models: every bit as beautifully built, and an occasion in their own right. It feels particularly appropriate for a Mustang to be Made In Japan, given Japan’s special affinity with this model. Originally made as a cheaper guitar for American students, the Mustang was adopted by a new generation of Japanese rockers, who appreciated its combination of smaller physical size and full fat tone.

This Limited Edition MIJ Mustang features a standout colour scheme. The dark Rosewood fretboard is an increasingly rare feature nowadays, while the 1-ply black pick guard complements the body colour perfectly. Snarling tone is guaranteed by the HS pickups – Shawbucker in the bridge and Single-Coil Mustang in the neck – controlled via a 3-position toggle. A hard bone nut ensures that no tone is lost, directing all string vibrations into the neck, body and, ultimately, pickups.

The slightly fatter-than-standard “U”-shaped neck gives you something to really grip onto as you navigate the more modern 9.5” radius fretboard. Though the body is smaller than a Jaguar or Jazzmaster, this Mustang still feels chunky and substantial for the smaller player. The 24” scale length reduces the stretch between each of the 22 frets, meaning it stays comfortable to play, even if you have smaller hands.

With its reverse headstock, top notch build quality and highly limited build numbers, we don’t anticipate this Fender MIJ Traditional Mustang sticking around for long!
