Key Features
A natural beauty. But it goes much deeper than looks. The Fender Shawn Mendes Musicmaster is a stunning design all the way through, from the obviously beautiful floral finish to the very idea behind it. Inspired by a fan who gifted a vintage Musicmaster to Shawn Mendes, Fender have made it accessible to fans of the singer/songwriter and guitar lovers alike. The effortless playability from the short-scale design, modern "C"-shaped maple neck, and straight forward electronics make it ideal for first time players or professionals looking for a new experience.
But that doesn't mean you won't have a soundscape to explore. A unique pickup configuration means that you'll have endless tonal possibilities. You'll find the Tex-Mex single-coil and Player Series humbucker allow you to play pretty much any genre while the coil-split capabilities extend your range even further. Fender have loaded it with all the features you need for your musical journey. And you'll buy knowing that a portion of each sale goes to the Shawn Mendes Foundation which encourages people to speak out on issues they're passionate about. Told you it's way more than a stylish design.

Fender released the original Musicmaster intending it to be a student model. Now, it reaches far beyond that. Moving away from the single neck pickup of the first models, the Shawn Mendes design has a Tex-Mex single-coil Strat in the bridge which is joined by a Player Series Alnico 2 humbucker at the neck. A 1956 icon - for the modern player. Expect sparkling highs and Texas grit rounded off with a warm feel from the Tex-Mex. Meanwhile, the humbucker offers you all the beef you need for rhythmic chords or glistening, clean single-coil tones when coil-split via the push/pull master tone control. It's the perfect recipe to any genre.
Focus entirely on your creativity. With this sleek design in your hands, you'll never need to worry about lack of comfort or awkward playability compromising your performing. A smooth "C" neck profile will fit nicely in your hand as you move up and down the short scale. And the slick feel of the maple wood helps reduce friction, making it easier for you to play with speed. It’s time to achieve that pace you've always wanted to. And reaching high notes is a breeze with the double cutaway body, providing untethered access to the top of the fretboard. It's a comfort that will make all the difference. Feel the freedom to perform.
Fender and Mendes have pulled out all the stops. From a six-saddle hardtail bridge to the sealed cast tuners, this is a guitar that gives you a pristine sound. You wouldn’t expect anything else from Fender’s Mexico factory, the home of some of the best signature models out there like Jim Root, Brad Paisley, and now Shawn Mendes. Plus, just look at it. The floral finish was originally drawn by French artist Adolphe Philippe Millot and stretches across the entirety of the body – including the back and pickguard. It’s not just a design for Mendes lovers, but guitar lovers as well.
This is the motto of the Shawn Mendes Foundation. Their logo is etched on the neck plate of this guitar because every sale supports this organisation’s aim to inspire the youth generation to learn about and act upon causes that make them passionate. And what better way to act than through music? Using your creativity as a tool in a worthy fight is an honourable way to spend your time and that’s exactly what this guitar was designed to do. So suit up, grab your musical weapon, and join the “Mendes Army”.
He’s an international sensation. Originally from Canada, Shawn Mendes is a very successful singer/songwriter whose back-catalogue spans across a wide range of genres.

So it's safe to say he's paved his name as a world-renowned artist.
