The Mustang, a Compact Icon Revisited by the Sonic Series
Inspired by the legendary short-scale Mustang, this "Squier Sonic" version modernizes a Fender classic while remaining accessible. It brings together the offset aesthetic, playability, and simplicity that have made the model so successful in a lightweight, robust, and stage-ready package.
Who Is It For and Which Styles Does It Suit?
Perfect for beginners and intermediate guitarists alike, the Mustang shines in indie rock, surf, pop, garage, and punk. The short scale reduces string tension, making barre chords and vibrato easier while providing a responsive touch for rhythm playing and riffs.
The Sound
The combination of a poplar body and maple key brings attack and clarity. The two ceramic single-coil pickups deliver a bright, precise tone with enough bite for crunch sounds. The 3-way selector covers everything from the cutting bridge pickup to the warmer neck pickup, while the Master Volume and Master Tone allow you to quickly fine-tune the balance. The fixed bridge with 6 saddles improves tuning stability and sustain, while the 24" scale adds a touch of warmth and flexibility.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
9–42 ball-end electric guitar strings (factory setup) or 10–46 for greater stability, a 6.35 mm mono jack cable, a standard strap, and a clip-on tuner. These universal accessories are perfectly suited to this Mustang and cover the essentials for playing anywhere.
