  • Hey, been wanting to make this video on this guitar and thought I'd put it up in between my usual small engine and electrical videos so I'm not interfering with the usually pattern of those videos! Really Like this guitar and recommend getting one! Great bare-bones type mustang, great build quality, and amazing finish! I am not affiliated, or sponsored by Squier or Fender, guitar bought with my own money! (actually from my wife!) Thanks for Watching!!!

    Picked one up in Torino red about a month ago. Your review is dead on with my thoughts about this guitar. Buy one.

    Wow, very sweet tone. Nice and bright, lots of clarity. I ordered one and can't wait to jam on it. Sounds very Fender-y. What I call "Johnny Cash tone!"

    I have short fingers attached to big bear paws. The short scale allows me to stretch across more frets. I like my sonic mustang. I bought the black one with maple fretboard and dual humbuckers. Limited edition. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten the green sparkle limeted edition.

    I got one of these as a surprise gift from my wife, unlike yours it was made in China and the pick ups measured over 12ohms each!!! I swapped them out for neck and bridge Strat pups and they sound great. Mine also had a couple of high frets which needed dressing but other than that it was set up pretty good, excellent for the price.

    I had he Squire Bullet Mustang in HH config and I sold it. I think I like the Sonic Mustang with the single coil pickups better. It looks great with the sunburst finish. I like the short scale it has. The maple neck looks good too.

      Since making that comment I had to experience going to a music store and playing a $1,500 strat that hadn't even larger neck and was completely unplayable to me. So many people like these larger necks.

    I'm very interested in this mustang. On a $200 guitar, I'm most wondering about the neck, mostly.
    I mean how does it "feel", lol, for lack of a better word.🤷

    • @fnaguitarplayer9
      @fnaguitarplayer9  Před rokem +3

      I really like it, its a slim C shape, not to thin or thick, if you have very big hands it might be a little small feeling, but to me it fits me perfect, other then the back being slightly rough (which might of just been this one who knows, and it was'n't that bad) i'd say its a perfect playing/feeling neck. And the string height/action out of the box was almost perfect for me, just had to adjust the neck (truss rod) slightly and fine tune the intonation and it plays perfect with the strings that came on it. Highly recommend it, if you've ever played a newer mini strat, it "feels" similar but not quite as short scale. Hope this helps some! Thanks for Watching!!!

    Hi dude. I really liked the video. I want to ask u, is the mustang suitable for a tall person with big hands?? I really like the Mustang (and Jaguar) and ive been thinking about buying the sunburst model, but ive never had a 24" scale guitar before, and i have no idea if that might be a problem. For example, Thurston Moore is crazy tall and he played with a Jaguar and a Mustang at some point, but im still not sure. Id like to know your opinion before buying it. Thank you🙂
