Short-Scale Offset With Big-Stage Attitude
The Fender Player II Mustang in Birch Green is that rare mix of effortless feel and punchy, character-rich tone. It keeps the classic short-scale Mustang vibe but tightens everything up for modern players who live on a crowded pedalboard and loud stages.
At 6.6 lbs, this one feels featherlight on the strap yet still has enough mass to ring, bloom, and sustain when you lean into it. If you love indie, punk, surf, or alt-rock and want something that feels instantly familiar but inspires new ideas, this Mustang hits that sweet spot.
Classic Alder Mustang Body, Fresh Archive Color
The alder body gives you that balanced Fender recipe: clear top end, musical mids, and tight lows that never get muddy. It is the reason these guitars sit in a mix so well, whether you are tracking clean arpeggios or smashing power chords.
The Birch Green gloss polyester finish looks like it was pulled straight out of the Fender archives. Under lights it pops, but it is still classy enough for any stage. The offset Mustang shape hugs your body, stays put whether you are seated or standing, and keeps long sets comfortable instead of a shoulder workout.
Fast Modern Neck And Rolled-Edge Slab Rosewood Board
The maple neck has a Modern C profile that feels fast without being flimsy. The satin urethane on the back keeps things smooth and non-sticky, even under hot stage lights, while the gloss headstock face keeps the look pure Fender.
A slab rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5 inch radius and smooth rolled edges feels broken in from the first chord. Twenty-two medium jumbo frets give you plenty of room for wide bends and vibrato without feeling like a shred stick. It all adds up to a neck that disappears under your hands so you can just play.
Player Series Alnico 5 Mustang Pickups
The Player Series Alnico 5 Mustang single-coils are the heart of this guitar. They deliver crystalline highs, musical mids, and tight, controlled lows that work across a ton of genres.
The bridge pickup brings that snappy bite that will cut through any mix without turning into ice pick. Flip to the neck for glassy chime or warmer, rounder lines, or park it in the middle position for a sweet blend that loves modulation and ambience. These pickups stay articulate with pedals, clean up with your volume knob, and still have enough grit when you open them up.
Short-Scale Feel, Rock-Solid Hardware
The 24 inch scale is a big part of the magic. String tension feels slinkier than a Strat or Tele, which makes big bends, chords with wide stretches, and behind-the-nut tricks feel easy. It is also a killer platform if you like heavier strings or slightly lower tunings without fighting the guitar.
A 6-saddle strings-through-body Strat hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles keeps things resonant and locked in. Each saddle intonates individually, so chords stay in tune all the way up the neck. Fender ClassicGear tuners and solid hardware in nickel and chrome keep tuning stable, even if you dig in hard or ride the volume knob all night.
