Fender - Ben Gibbard Mustang - Natural

Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard is an influential presence in indie music, inspiring legions of artists to pick up an offset and pour their hearts out. While Death Cab's studio albums are typically laid-back, melancholic affairs, their live shows are often raucous and bristling with the punk rock energy that captivated Ben to pursue his own musical fortunes. The Fender Ben Gibbard Mustang bottles that energy in the form of a meticulous re-creation of Ben's highly modified touring workhorse. While ostensibly a standard short-scale 'Stang, this signature model has a few tricks up its sleeve, such as an ultra-lightweight chambered ash body, a Modern "C" profile neck, and a hardtail bridge fashioned in the likeness of an old-school Mustang vibrato. Crank up its vintage-style angled single-coil pickups, and you'll be smashing out some angular early-aughts licks in no time!
