Ben Gibbard

At 0:19 in this performance of "No Room in Frame," Ben Gibbered can be seen using a Fender Mustang.

In this Facebook photo posted by Toner Guitar Repair, the guitar shop says, "Ben Gibbard's (Death Cab for Cutie) G&L ASAT Bluesboy sent to me for repair. Note the solitary volume control. Both pickup are on simultaneously at all times." The bridge pickup looks to be a black Seymour Duncan, and the neck pickup appears to be a humbucker.

In another photo showing the wiring, they write, "This is the original wiring for Gibbard's Bluesboy. A bit messy with big globs of solder. No insulation to prevent shorts. The pot was worn & needed replacement. Note that both pickups are wired directly to the volume pot. There is no switch between the pickups & no tone pot." (source Facebook post)

In this article posted by American Songwriter Ben also mentions using Fender [Squier] Bullets early in his career with Death Cab for Cutie:

“In the early days of Death Cab, I had been playing these Fender Bullet guitars. I had one that I bought for like $150. They have a ¾ body like the Mustang but with a Tele-style neck. The size of the neck and body made my hands move around the neck in a way that became a signature sound for our first three or four records. You could arpeggiate around the guitar easily.” https://americansongwriter.com/gear-review-death-cab-for-cuties-ben-gibbard-discusses-his-new-fender-mustang-signature-guitar/
