Made from mid 1967 until 1981. It used the body and neck from the Fender Mustang, but had only one pickup and a different tremolo arm mechanism. Unlike the other Mustang variants which had 22.5" scales, the Bronco was offered only with a 24" scale leng and a maple neck featuring a "round-lam" rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and pearl dot inlays.

It was originally supposed to replace the Musicmaster. It was initially sold as a "package" with the Fender Bronco  amp, a small amplifier also created for students.

It's single pickup was mounted in the bridge position. The unique vibrato arm was 's fourth and least popular design, and appeared only on the Bronco. It is sometimes unofficially known as the Fender steel vibrato, and colloquially as the Bronco trem.

The Bronco was usually produced with a rosewood fingerboard and standard fiesta Red finish, but later in the series Fender introduced black finish. The Bronco, like the Musicmaster and the Mustang, was discontinued in 1981 and replaced by the Fender Lead series. Unlike its older and more popular cousin, the Mustang, it has not seen a re-issue, with the result that the Bronco trem is the only one of Fender's four tremolo arm designs not in current production.
