Fender Player II Mustang Alnico V Pickups and Knobs

Vintage-Inspired Tone With Modern Clarity

At the heart of the Player II Mustang are a pair of angled single-coil pickups that deliver that unmistakable Fender sound. These Alnico V pickups have a balanced character with clear highs, focused midrange and thick lows that cut through a mix with vintage-inspired warmth. The 3-way switch combines the bridge and neck pickups in multiple positions, allowing you to dial in your ideal tone for leads, rhythms or chunky riffs. Master volume and tone controls provide further sound shaping.

Compact and Comfortable for Hours of Play

The Mustang's short 24" scale length makes string bends feel effortless while providing a slightly warmer, thicker tone compared to full-scale guitars. The C-shaped maple neck has a smooth satin finish on the back for fast playability, with the glossy 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard providing a modern, flatter playing surface. You'll love how the 22 medium-jumbo frets enhance the guitar's natural articulation and intonation.

Maximized Sustain and Tuning Stability

Contributing to the Player II Mustang's expressive tone and impressive resonance is the 6-saddle Strat hardtail bridge with string-through-body design. The bent steel saddles add a subtle bite and increased mass for longer sustain, while the strings anchored at the rear of the body create more mass for an even richer, more resonant tone. Best of all, the hardtail ensures tuning stability even during aggressive whammy tricks.

Vintage Style With Modern Attitude

With its iconic offset body shape and ’60s-inspired styling cues, the Player II Mustang looks every bit a vintage classic. The smaller and lighter body provides enhanced comfort for energetic performances, while the gloss polyester finish protects the alder body from dings while letting the grain shine through. You'll also appreciate the attention to detail in premium appointments like the synthetic bone nut and parchment pickguard.

From the studio to the stage, the Fender Player II Mustang rekindles that iconic offset vibe while catering to the needs of modern players. Visit your local Guitar Center today and experience this unique take on a true classic for yourself.
