Fender is one of the leading musical companies and has a dedicated experience in making musical instruments. Clarence Leonidas Fender founded this organization in 1946. It has gained a worldwide recognition throughout the years in making the musical instruments. One can also say that Fender is the most reputable corporate to create the best guitars in the world. Currently, their headquarters is located in Scottsdale, Arizona, with their manufacturing amenities located throughout the world.

The Fender 65 Mustang guitar has two-angled single coil pickups and each has a neighboring on-off-on switch along with a master tone and a volume control. Interestingly enough, the 65 Mustang does not have a pickup selector or a circuit selector switch but just has the two pickup switches that allow the pickups to be used individually or in parallel. The phase of the selected pickup is reversed by the second on position, which permits the pickups to be in either in or out phase when used in parallel. This is a new feature introduced than the one created in 1964.

This guitar had been customized for a great legend, Kurt Cobain, who used this short scale with an exclusive and extremely direct tremolo arm to give his best performances ever. This guitar has undergone customizations and upgrades to offer the best results.

This made a remarkable effect in noise reduction as when both the pickups were floating with respect to ground and this made it probable to change the wiring by placing the pickups in series either in or out phase. This switching can be replaced by a conventional pickup change switch that is being provided with the Duo-Sonic, which only requires slight modification in the pickguard and frees the two eight-terminal pickup switches for different uses.

Fender has produced a great line of guitars through the times and among them is the 65 Mustang. The Fender 65 Mustang is an electric guitar and was originally introduced in 1964 as a remodel of the Fenders student models, which included Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic. The Fender 65 Mustang was made until 1982 and then was reissued again in the 1990.

Last but not the least, the great musicians who have played on Mustang are Kurt Cobain, Mark Arm, Billy Corgan, Adrian Belew, Graham Coxon and a lot of other names who are the legends and have made a huge contribution in the world of music.

Fender 65 Mustang

The 65 Mustang, Musicmaster II and Duo-Sonic II had 21 fret 22.5-inch neck or 3/4 scale neck or another adjustment of a 22 fret 24-inch neck, but the most popular one was the 24-inch neck. The 24-inch neck is considered perfect for people who have small hands and it makes it ideal for them to have an excellent control and stability as well as it also augments the capability to use the tremolo arm for upbends.

There was also another brand that was introduced known as the Fender Mustang Bass in 1964. The design of this guitar was made with a similar offset body design to the 65 Mustang guitar and along with it a short 30-inch scale was used. Other guitars that had the look of Mustang Bass body and neck included Fender Musicmaster Bass and Fender Bronco Bass.

The offset waist of the Fender 65 Mustang is evocative of the Jazzmaster, but apart from that, it closely follows the style of the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic. When Mustang was released, it got a huge recognition and on the basis of that the two models, Musicmaster and the Duo-Sonic were remodeled and they were named Musicmaster II and Duo-Sonic II.

Another very interesting feature introduced in the Mustang was the Fender Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece, which along with the floating bridge constitutes the Mustang Trem or Stang Trem. This concept is taken from the tremolo developed for the Jazzmaster, whereas on the Mustang, the saddles consist of only a single string slot, whereas on the other Fender guitars there are multiple slots that allow limited modification of string spacing.
