(ARCHIVE) Fender Offset Series Mustang Faded Mocha 2017
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Offset Mustang, faded mocha, made in Mexico 2017. The Offset Series was a bit of a 'eureka' moment for Fender a few years back: finally, production model Mustangs, Duo Sonics and other short-scale goodness was back, and at a pretty spicy dime. This was a limited edition finish, channeling the mocha brown Mustangs of the 1970s. It's a cool little player: the lightweight body, sensible Strat trem and moderate C shape neck make for things easy on your hands and shoulders. The tone on deck offers plenty of brightness and zing with a grindy, angular midrange. It's a lot of fun with a generous dose of distortion and some punk power chords. Fun times.
