The Fender Player Series Mustang MN Sienna Sunburst adds the iconic 1964 offset design to the Fender Player Series.
Pickups and Hardware
Made famous in the hands of Kurt Cobain, the Student model with dual single-coil pickups and a shortened scale length of 24 inches delivers both the tones and feel of classic Mustang guitars, while straightforward electronics and a fixed 6-saddle hardtail bridge make the Fender Player Series Mustang MN Sienna Sunburst a reliable companion for the stage and studio. In addition to a solid hardware setup with six Fender Standard Cast/Sealed tun ers, the Fender Player Series Mustang offers cohesive looks and combines classic Fender finishes with three-ply pickguards and the original Fender Mustang headstock logo.
The classic offset design of the Fender Player Series Mustang MN Sienna Sunburst Front is now available as part of the Player Series.

Fender Player Offset Mustang MN Sienna Sunburst B-Stock/Demo
This is a great entry to the Fender lineup and a step up from Squier quality. The craftsmanship is far from perfect however. Nut slots not quite cut deep enough, fret slots cut a little too deep in places and sharp fretboard edges. That's about it as far as shortcomings though. The guitar looks killer in Burgandy Mist and it sounds just a good with the P90 pickups. The Pau Ferro fretboard compliments the looks and mine almost has a tiger's eye 3D effect going on which is an unexpected bonus. The 24' scale, modern C neck profile with satin finish on the back, combined with the medium jumbo frets and a 9.5 inch radius all contribute to an almost effortless playing experience. My one has a slightly heavier body that others I've tried which I'm very glad of as it eliminates any sign of neck dive that can plague these guitars (probably not helped by the oversize headstock). The guitar sounds fantastic clean with the P90s sitting somewhere between a single coil and humbucker and just as good with overdrive. The pickups are also not as noisy as I'd feared so you need not dread the hum. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this guitar and since I'm happy to file my own nuts, as it were, a little tweaking to ensure perfect playability doesn't worry me in the slightest. It's a keeper for sure.
