(ARCHIVE) Fender American Performer Mustang Satin Sonic Blue 2021
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender American Performer Mustang, satin sonic, made in USA 2021. This series replaced the American Special line, and in a fun twist, Fender added some handy offset body models back into the mix. It's not a strict vintage reissue, so you get a pragmatic 3-way switch, headstock-end truss adjuster, 9.5" radius neck with jumbo frets... modern stuff. The small size body, cheeky trem and short scale are all there though, so it still feels like a cure little Mustang in the hands. The tone is brisk and snappy, with a naturally short sustain and a strong fundamental note. The finish is fun too, it's a very pale blue with slick coat of satin that feels very smooth in the hands. 'Stang yourself happy.
