The Fender Ben Gibbard Mustang is a thoughtfully designed electric guitar that delivers professional-level performance with streamlined features tailored for reliability, tone, and playability. Based on the custom-modified Mustangs Ben Gibbard has used throughout his career with Death Cab for Cutie, this model brings together classic Mustang aesthetics with practical enhancements suited for live performance and recording.
The guitar features a chambered ash body, which provides a lighter overall weight while enhancing resonance and sustain. This makes it comfortable for extended playing sessions, whether on stage or in the studio, and gives the instrument a well-balanced tone with a focused midrange. The natural grain of the ash also gives each guitar a visually distinctive finish.
A key component of this model is the set of custom-voiced Ben Gibbard Mustang pickups. These pickups are designed to capture the tone and character of Ben's original vintage Mustangs, offering a dynamic, articulate response that's ideal for a wide range of genres. The simplified electronics setup includes a three-position rotary selector switch, cleverly disguised as a tone knob, and a master volume control. This setup reduces distractions and makes it easier to switch sounds quickly while performing.
Playability is further enhanced by a 24" short scale length and a modern "C"-shaped maple neck with 22 medium jumbo frets and a 9.5" fingerboard radius. This combination provides a smooth, comfortable feel suitable for both rhythm and lead playing, appealing to players of all experience levels.
The bridge features a modified hardtail design that locks the Mustang-style tailpiece in place, significantly improving tuning stability, sustain, and overall reliability. The Ben Gibbard Mustang also includes strap locks for added security during live performances and comes with a Fender gig bag for protection and convenience. This is a performance-focused instrument built for serious musicians seeking simplicity, stability, and classic tone.
