Ben Gibbard Mustang®, Maple Fingerboard, Natural

Since the late 1990s, Ben Gibbard has been a prominent voice in indie rock as singer-songwriter for the platinum-selling band Death Cab for Cutie. His melodic, personal songwriting style and the band’s powerful sound helped pave the way for generations of musicians to follow.Ben’s modified ’70s Fender Mustangs have been his preferred touring choice for years. The Ben Gibbard Mustang recreates his modified touring workhorses and adds some bold new enhancements.Featuring a chambered ash body design for increased resonance and reduced weight and a one-piece 22-fret modern “C”-shaped maple neck with 9.5″ radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this guitar is a comfortable and versatile stage performer. Electronics include a set of custom, vintage-inspired Ben Gibbard Mustang pickups and a stage-ready 3-way rotary pickup selector switch. What appears to be a vintage-style Mustang bridge is actually an innovative modified hardtail setup, providing rock-solid stability, intonation and sustain.Includes strap locks and a Fender gig bag.

      Highlights

      CHAMBERED ASH BODY

      Offers rich sustain and focused midrange with striking grain patterns.

      CUSTOM BEN GIBBARD PICKUPS

      These pickups have been custom-voiced to emulate Ben’s personal vintage Mustangs.

      3-POSITION ROTARY PICKUP SELECTOR SWITCH

      SIMPLIFIED CONTROLS

      Per Ben Gibbard’s personal spec, all extraneous switches and controls were removed and replaced with a single master volume and a three position rotary pickup selector.
