Fender Ben Gibbard Artist Series Mustang: Hear it in action here
Based on one of Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard’s modified Mustangs, the new Fender Artist Signature Series Mustang model can now be heard in a new Fender video exploring the guitar’s tones and features. The guitar was announced during NAMM in January; now you can finally hear it in action.

The new Mustang comes in a natural finish, with a black pickguard and chrome hardware. It looks quite straight forward and well thought out. It’s based on Gibbard’s own heavily-modified ’70s Mustangs and should appeal to many players who gravitate to that era.
The guitar uses a chambered ash body to help reduce the weight. The bolt-on maple neck has a shorter scale length, as you would expect on a Mustang. It also has what looks like a standard Mustang vibrato, but it is actually a hardtail bridge, so tuning should be solid on this guitar.

Disguised Tone
It comes loaded with two custom-designed Ben Gibbard single-coils, voiced just like the ones those found in Gibbard’s own guitar. You choose the pickups using a three-way rotary switch disguised as the guitar’s tone control. Overall, these subtle updates add up to an interesting take on a classic design. It’s a sweet-looking Mustang! Read the full specifications of this new Artist Signature model over on the official page from the link below.
