Fender American Performer Mustang Sonic Blue - Secondhand

Full Description

Fender American Performer Mustang – Sonic Blue is a uniquely styled, short-scale electric guitar that blends vintage cool with modern performance. Designed and built in Corona, California, this model pays homage to the Mustang’s indie and alternative rock roots while incorporating player-friendly upgrades for today’s musicians.

With its compact 24” scale length, the Mustang offers a slinky feel and easier playability, making it ideal for players with smaller hands or those who prefer faster, more expressive fretting. The guitar features an alder body finished in a distinctive Sonic Blue gloss, paired with a comfortable Modern “C” shaped maple neck and a smooth satin finish for a broken-in feel.

The standout feature of this model is its pair of Yosemite™ single-coil pickups, specially voiced to deliver dynamic range and clarity. From sparkling cleans to gritty crunch, these pickups maintain note definition across styles. A Greasebucket™ tone circuit allows players to roll off highs without muddying the tone — perfect for sculpting sound without sacrificing articulation.

Hardware includes a classic six-saddle vintage-style tremolo bridge, giving players the option for subtle vibrato effects, and Fender ClassicGear™ tuners that combine vintage looks with modern tuning stability. The 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets ensure smooth bends and effortless transitions across the neck.

Compact, lightweight, and full of character, the American Performer Mustang in Sonic Blue is a standout choice for players who want classic Fender tone and feel in a versatile, modern package. Whether on stage or in the studio, it’s built to inspire creativity.
