I think the j mascis rams head is more aggressive than the other rams head reissue
Rob, doubt you’d remember me from back when you originally started making videos on this guitar, but they were the convincing factor on me saving up and buying one back in high school in 2017. Mine has the original rosewood fretboard with the original mustang head decal. It’s put up with so much moving around but still plays like brand new. I’ve used it so much over the years but I can say that I never needed to buy another electric after as this holds up way past its price point. This guitar should be at the top of any beginner’s list of first guitars
can I use the dunlop 65 cleaner with a rag instead of baby wipes ? just for cleaning? on rosewood, I mean.
@@dogsmith you can do depends how bad it is
@theguitarmanifesto not bad at all. Bought a acoustic with rosewood three mo ths ago. Bought an electric with rosewood last week.
I had one exactly like that, 1965 version, bought at a pawn shop 45 years ago. Would like to have it back.
Now explain Mark Arms Hagstrom!
Can u use lightrr fluid on both fretboard and body? If yes any restriction like.. not to use in certain finish
@@tueseptlikha7274 I've known people use lighter fluid in the past, not sure if it legit does any damage.
@@theguitarmanifesto can u please tell is it safe to use soapy water and toothbrush to prep the fretboard and later on use lemon oil to condition
Dose anybody use just soap water water with toothbrush to prep and pre clean the fretboard. Is it safe?
For how cheap these are, they sound pretty good
The pickups are great no complaints 😁
@@theguitarmanifesto I’m planning on selling my jaguar and getting one of these instead (jaguar just wasn’t hitting the sweet spot for me)
Yeeeah maaaan. Every home should have one
Ahmen to that brother 💪
Really love that colour they look great value for money
I've tried one of these before with the big font on the headstock. Everything was fine to me except for the neck - it felt really flat to me so I ultimately didn't buy it
Yeah the later ones have a few revisions and better to play 👌
Colour Saturation ✅ Vibrant
GoPro 👌
I have a 2nd hand 1998 Affinity Squier Strat. It's full-size thickness and a very good guitar. My son has a music degree and is a jazz bass player. He can really make my guitar sing; me, well, not so much. 😅. I really love the idea of shorter scale guitar. I'm in my mid-sixties and find the size and weight of full-size a bit too much, and who needs 5 pickup variations? 😂
Yes them 90s strats are Alder and very heavy. Another reason to choose the bullet Mustang 👌💯 I recommend them 😎
Skunk stripes neck in a budget guitar is so freaking awesome. Looks premium with that....
Touch of class 👌
Can't disagree, they're great guitars. I just realized you're in a new studio, looks great! Cheers!
I've been in this man cave for a couple of years now 😄
@@theguitarmanifesto I see said the blind man! I just got used to the workshop and never noticed. Guess it's true, humans make terrible witnesses!
🤣 to be fair it's much different to the man cave in my old house
Looks great and perfect for a beginner board with 6-7 mini Pedals spot on.
Yes it's a great bit of kit 👌
Nice hh, I got me a 87 squier bullet bass made in Korea 😎👍 The only thing is I need to solder the pickups keep rocking like always. Rob 😁🎸
Sounds nice, solid guitars 🤘😎
My son's first guitar, then in lockdown, I picked it up too. Scale a little too short for my clumsy beginner fingers, I felt, but it’s excellent.
Be rude not to 🤣😜
I got mine silly cheap about a year ago, sniped a second hand Competition Blue one, came with electronics transplanted from Paranormal Super Sonic. Swapped the pots and turned it HS. If I ever have to choose between selling a kidney and this guitar, I'd rather sell a kidney.
Sounds like that one is a keeper 👌💯
I bought a Bullet Mustang as a modding platform and over the years I have improved it (more than necessary in fact) and it is now my #2 guitar. Great guitar for the money!!
That's cool, so fun to mod 👌
Incredibly fun guitar and an incredible value -- the kind of inexpensive guitar that reminds you how much fun it is to get together with your friends and make a lot of noise
Just makes you want to play 💯🤘
I owned a bullet mustang before and I modded it with a toronado Bridge and HS config. Wonderful modding platform! I sold it because in the end I couldn't get on with the skinny 12 inch neck. Just recently I bought a sonic mustang in torino red. The neck on that one is a total different animal. Really comfy and thick! Modded it as well. Proper P90's, black p90 pickguard, proper pots and capacitor, half tele Bridge with brass saddles and tinted the neck with amber nitro. Really happy with it!!
That's awesome, the later ones revised to 9.5" radius
I have one that I bought new in late 2017 and it's my grab and riff away guitar of choice. It's hanging on the wall next to my easy chair in the sunroom. It's covered in stickers now but looked just like this one. I think mine has a rosewood fingerboard though. Are you sure that one isn't rosewood?
That's awesome, yeah rosewood up till 2018 CITIES came into effect, changed to Indian Laurel after that.
I'll retell my story. So, I play since 1979. I had a huge unplugged gap 2006-2016. I thought, I'm through with distortion forever. Then one day I see this Bullet for like a €100 and it's so much lighter than my HH Gibson LP Studio from 1991! I haven't touched the Gibson for 10 years just because of its weight. It's 5 kg, boys! So, I picked the Bullet, changed tuners, bridge bits, pickguard (got a fantastic 3-ply sparkly white from the Scottish dude) and put a pirate logo on the empty space behind the bridge. For 8 years since the day I took up on playing punk again and people listen and being very friendly about me coming back from acoustic instruments to my teenage roots. I'm 59 and a grandad. I got some vital inspiration from this channel and I appreciate your efforts.
That is a freaking awesome story, love it! Never say never and so glad you went back to the dirty noise 🤘 Thank you I'm so pleased the channel has inspired you!
@@theguitarmanifesto Thanks, man
Agree! My fav cheap guitar. That plus 2nd hand Katana amp will take you a long way along your journey
Most definitely the katana 100 has a bit more punch for loud band use 👌
@@theguitarmanifesto agree I have had both, but 1st guitar are you going to be gigging? 2nd hand k100 is a fair bit more. Though I loved mine for the efx loop and it deffo had more punch than the k50.
@peterlatham2407 I scored a cheap katana 100 a while back can't remember the price but it was dirt cheap 🤣 hopefully yes, I'm actively looking to start/join a band.
Smooth-guitar and face!!😎
Going bareback 🫢

it is no bellycut just watched it lol i prefer my bullit but both are fun!
Can you do a comparison video of these two just like the mustangs....
I don't have the red one
Yeah 👍
The guitarist regretting modding is guitar. I'm going to touch mine.
Honestly, the more people hate on this pedal the more I want it.
And the cheaper that'll get 👌
Ha, best punk guitar ever! 😎
So cool 😎🎸👌
Sweet! I'll be here to watch 👀👀👀👀👊👊👊
Heck yeah 🤘😎
I have a lot of these guitars & basses. Fabulous instruments, as good as any Fender, Gibson etc. I make & fix guitars & I'm not joking. Great to see them being respected at long last.
Yeah they're awesome, I still see a few pop up cheap 👌
Cool little board! A long time ago I started putting tape on the bottom of my pedals before Velcro. Easier to take off if you ever wanna sell them! ;)
When you're regularly gigging you need them well stuck down.
@@theguitarmanifesto I don't think I explained that very well. I put tape on the bottom of the pedal as a buffer between the gummy Velcro and pedal surface. It stayed put on the board because there was a Velcro strip on the board. So it was Velcro on Velcro as it should be-it was very snug-no worries. The Velcro is easier to take off of the tape and not mess up the pedal if you sell it. I never bought or sold any pedals with Velcro stuck to them. Some might not care about that detail. But since I've gone digital it's all a non-issue! 🙃
@MrAcEsNeIgHtS1188 ah got ya, to be fair buying used pedals with pubic hairs attached to the velcro is all part of the fun 🤣🤣 free DNA samples is so grunge
@@theguitarmanifesto 😹😹😹😹😹
Hey.. Hey! Grunge is alive baby!!!
Heck yeah 🤘
cool, very familiar.
I've played this jam on the channel before 👌
can you link the video where you cutout the slot for a humbucker size pickup please i saw it on your video on the look inside the electronics of the CV and i wanted to make the humbucker size slot on mine
I can't remember the video dude.
I really like it, Kurt is amazing
He was yes 💯👌
Sounds great, but is it Grunge? Sounds a lot like 80s British Post Punk?
I like playing with my own twist 👌
This is awesome
Glad you dig it 🎸🤘
man sounds great and that iazzmaster sounds awesome man
Thanks dude, loving that Jazzmaster 🤘👌
I hear Gimme Shelter a' la Grunge!❤
🤣🤣 that's a strange one
@@theguitarmanifesto hey, I've old ears. Glad to see you've got your finger dexterity back. Greetings from the colonies. 🇨🇦
Yeah it's down to perspective, I'll hear all sorts of random stuff with music 🤣 it's getting there had to change my style and diet somewhat, still not as silky playing as I would like.
Grunge is not dead, ladies and gentlemen, Rob Cobain and his band,

Shame you’re just out of reach for me, I’m looking for a fun, band project to try out for. I’m in Suffolk so about 2 hours away 😔

Love it! Can't wait for the new content that comes out if this new venture. As a fellow grunger having occasional jam sessions with another couple of guitarists, i have a feeling this is going to be super helpful 👍🏻 too far to apply myself but wish you all the best with it 🙂
Hopefully exciting times ahead. Always good to get out playing with other people, thank you 🤘
Cool. Never had a pedal board. I'm a "pre-pedalboards" model myself. )))
I converted about 10 years ago 😁
@@theguitarmanifesto Yeah, seems rather convenient.
@@slawaschwed especially when you gig regularly
Like the basic idea. But really don't like the outputs on the outside of the board itself. Yes easily accessible, but for stage use it has to a bit more recessed or such. 19.1 inch wide(485 mm). That's a nice usable width!
I never had a problem pedalboards on stage I always make sure nothing is near them on stage anyway. It'll be on stage on my next gig 🤘
@@theguitarmanifestogreat! I had a gig where the other guitarist launched my pedal board😂 Luckily only my powersupply pins where bend😅 But since then I'm a bit cautious with overly hyped band mates with elephant feet😂
