and Duo-Sonics in 24-inch
scale at this time as well),
which quickly became
the most popular option.
Most vintage Mustangs
found today will be 24-
inch scale models.
The Mustang has
remained popular in
large part because of its
association with Nirvana’s
Kurt Cobain, who was
posthumously given a
signature model in 2012,
but it had been generally
popular with punk and
underground musicians
long before that due
to its ubiquity on the
second-hand market,
its high quality, and its
low cost. Its reputation
had also grown steadily
with vintage collectors,
such that Fender first
reissued the model in
1990, several years
before Cobain’s rise to
fame. Today, a number
of reissues can be found,
but like the Musicmaster
and Duo-Sonic, excellent
vintage Mustangs can be
picked up all day long for
less than 2000 bucks, and
sometimes a lot less.
