Some awkward moments trying to avoid mentioning Cobain haha
Yeah like 13:22 but why? I just searched "fender mustang" because I saw Cobain played it, why not mention him?
@@enesozcelik4407 Too "trendy" I guess :-D
@@Emcfree2084 thanks for the answer
Cobain doesnt own the rights to mustangs.. although it feels like that... he ruined mustangs for all of us that dont want to be seen as nirvana wannabeezz... I have that same blue one... and feel I want to pain it black... or an other colour that doesnt look like Kurts... Curts... no offense but he stole mustangs from the world in a way.... when you own a strat there are too many for people to think of.. a tele, way too many... but a mustang.. not so mamy
@@meanwhileinespoo1265 yeah because no one can play a Les Paul without feeling like a gnr wannabe, what are you talking about lol
The fact that Lee is on the Right Side of the screen is the most disturbing thing about this whole Quarantine!
SpeedBoost he always is tho
@@luca9735 That's with Rob, but with Pete or some guests, he's usually on the left
So how come they have the same carpet and the same floorboards? Hmm.
It's true. My floor is actually the ceiling of the floor below. You should see what the French do.
@@patrickcol It's English carpet mate, they
all look the same ;-) had similar carpets in my first house, then I met my wife and she got rid of it, lol (with was actually a good thing)
That “cheap sound” is kind of the point- for those of us who went to college in the 90s, the jangly Mustang evokes indie heroes like Liz Phair, Pavement, and sure, Kurt Cobain. There’s just nothing else like it.
Kobain like the mustangs anf jaguars specifically because they WEREN'T "jangly". He actually wanted much of the treble turned down because he wanted his short-scale guitar work to sound more like Black Sabbath.
Ahh when everything sounded intentionally terrible and singers out of tune. College times for me.
Michael Carey If he wanted to sound like Sabbath, he sure picked the wrong guitars. Jesus Christ
@@slacktoryrecords4193 He eventually realised this and went with Humbuckers. It was his mistake that created that iconic sound though.
@Jay McDanieL "Sneak him a humbucker he'll thank us later"
The vintage Duo Sonic shown on screen is a Duo Sonic II, which was a redesign of the model from 64. The Duo Sonic and Musicmaster were given Mustang bodies and pickguards.
The original Duo Sonic shape is not offset and is the current available version being made today.
The Duo Sonic II exists today in the form of the hardtail Mustang.
Yes, thank you! I love the fact that the Duo Sonic is NOT offset, part of the charm for me. It's just a little different in a nice way.
Never noticed the non-offset of the Duo-Sonic. I mentioned this post in a large comment I just posted. Thanks for the info.
I love my Mexican Mustang. The satin neck is great and the short scale is just really fun and easy to play. I have been playing for about 1.5 years now and it's the most fun guitar I've played so far.
Anytime Pete adds a lick from the Acoustasonic loop, I think we all smile a little inside.
Nice little easter egg in each video...
Finally someone talks about one of my favorite guitars. THE MUSTANG!!!!
I have a '69 Mustang that was a gift from my father. I have to say that these guitars are very underrated!! Mine screams and growls!!
Is it only me or the pink mustang with the P90s has such a magnificent tone.....??
The Mustang sure does resemble that time my little nephew tried to draw my Stratocaster, but I do want one...
I'm going to start calling them badly drawn strats. In the most loving way possible.
Maybe your nephew just thought that the strat needed a better looking shape?
Mustangs and Duo Sonics are just instant fun.
The Fender Mustang was my first real guitar. My parents gave it to me for Christmas in '65 when I was 12, with a Fender Champ amp and a hard fender case. Mine was exactly like the blue one that Pete is holding, only in red.
That’s awesome. How’d you like it? Must’ve been pretty cool at the time
Guys, of course, they are springs, under the plate, the cigar bar is connected to them, and also they have 3 different slots with different tension! And it's a simple but effective bridge, a really common mod in Jaguars and Jazzmasters is to swap their bridges to a Mustang.
They had originally vintage frets and it's a short-scale guitar, that's its magic, the crystal clear sound that you can get from them, and having much less sustain make them a good blank canvas to use pedals.
That's why people like Norah Jones, Ty Segall, Omar Rodriguez, Graham Coxon, and John McLaughlin use them!
@gheddi Well, he used many different guitars, but I saw him with Mustangs a lot.
And Norah Jones sounds incredible on her Stang! And on CZcams, Eric Haugen gets incredible tones from his 66 Stang. They’re very delicate guitars too, and actually have very dynamic tone. A strat can really scream and nail that SRV Hendrix thing(Stangs can too of course) and they’re thicker. But Stangs are even more glassy and crystalline. On my 62 brownface fender amp sometimes a strat is just a bit too much, too thick. And then I pick up a Stang and I’m in such sweet crystal heaven. With that amp I actually prefer how Stangs sound(and they have more clean headroom). And with a Vox amp Stangs are just killer. Mustangs are my favorite Fender, my guitars in the world really. Something about how comfortable that shorter scale neck is too that going back to a strat scale almost feels a bit awkward at first before you get used to it again. Very underrated guitars. Low output sure, but very dynamic beautiful tones and you can always thicken them up.
Had 65 Mustang Seafoam green. The guitar sounded great. Stolen in 91. Saw a guy in the Philippines in 1976. (American made guitars of any type, were highly prized) that cat had a Mustang Cherryburst color. I'm not joking the dude had a bassist & drummer. He did ALL Jimi's stuff, Manic Depression, Power of Soul, etc, etc. The cat was divebombing, wringing feedback out it. We were amazed! Not only at his talent but how that Mustang was blasting. I also had a 1962 DuoSonic bought it for $50 In a pawn shop in 1975. That girl was a hot guitar, cherry burst color maple fret board. I found from FMIC the pick ups in the DuoSonic were amsome of the highest outputs they made. I'm not kidding, thst little DuoSonic held its own, against Strats, 335s etc. I was on a detachment in Fallon NV, didn't take it. A guy decided he'd play it, & didn't put it back in my locker. It was stolen. I'm still pissed, loved that little power house. Never forgave the guy. What a great guitar.
Grow up
@@lucasoheyze4597 man I'm 65 years old. I've already grown up. Been in the Navy, worked for a defense contractor (traveled the country & the world), worked Lockheed & Boeing. I'm fully grown. Have been for quite sometime. Hope you feel better.
Love it! Great tale of the guitars that were part of your life brother.
Really enjoying these videos of going through the whole line of guitars. Can't wait to see more!
I absolutely love these in depth looks into these guitars! Would love to see more of these about different brands as well!
The Squier Bullet Mustang deserves to be in the mix too. I've set a couple of them up for beginners and there's no better value from FMIC.
I love that that yellow finish on the Squier. It is like custard in colour and sounds just as tasty.
Adrian Belew was partial to Mustangs around the time King Crimson recorded "Discipline," the weight and the responsiveness of the tremolo being the main reasons as I recall. I keep ALMOST buying one.
he later added a third single coil and Kahler trem. there’s a live dvd of them playing in 198-something and he plays it most of the set.
My first electric guitar was an original '65 Mustang that my brother and sister bought me for Christmas in the early '80s. Don't know what overcame them to give me an actual nice present, but there you have it. I immediately routed out the bridge pickup which had extremely low output and replaced it with a Dimarzio Super Distortion, cuz metal! I've still got the guitar and still play it.
Ouch. Imagine what that would be worth now if it was standard and not modded. Bet it sounds great, though, beautiful guitars.
I have a mustang bass and the thing is total magic. Maybe it’s time to equal things up with a six string too.
hey man! I just got my hands on a squier classic vibe mustang bass. Brand new, plays so great but dude the pickups are microphonic af! I'm only really a guitarist, bought the bass for a recording project so im not sure if this is just how mustang bass pickups are? Like, just tapping the pickguard comes out so loud!

What app did you use to be able to play without time delay
Can you review the new fender Sonoran mini
@@FranMjolnir obviously im not Andertons, but it looks like they arent using an app which is why theres no delay. theyre in different rooms of the Andertons warehouse so they can probably hardwire connections similar to a band's practice space or a recording studio.
I have a 1965 all original, THEY ARE SLEEPERS!!! The trem has springs underneath that attach to posts with adjustable spots for when you change string gauges and need more or less tension. I have had every type of trem and I honestly think the Mustang has the nicest one, because it is so simple. It is very touch sensitive and set up properly they will go back to pitch. I'm 6'2 and have big hands and I do not find the guitar to small for me. Everyone should own a Mustang!! They don't hurt your back after a 4 hr jam session and they have lots of tone selection because of the polarity switching. Just my 2¢
You hit the nail on the head. my 1966 stang is my favorite guitar hands down, over all my strats and teles ive owned. The mustang trem is my favorite of leo's trem designs. now this video has me wanting to finally pull the trigger and get a classic vibe to trick out and modify lol. Mustangs for the win!
@@charlierain I 100% agree I usually pick up my Mustang before my strats or teles. I'm looking for a beat up 60's Mustang that i can steal the pickups, pots,tuners and trem and put on a strat for the longer scale but vintage vibe.!! Mine is to nice to steal parts off!! Maybe Andertons can commission a stratstang!!! Strat with Mustang trem and polarity switches but longer scale!!! They will sell two ... One to me and the other to CHARLIE RAIN
I sold my 65 original years ago but regret selling it.
I have a 65 full scale MM neck So it will match up with a Mustang body ? Neck pocket is less than a strat nut width as well Wanting to do a cool build with it Thanks
@@paulcowart3174 yes music master necks and mustang neck interchange as long as they are the same scale and majority are 24". I don't know if the neck pocket is smaller than strat but I know people steal the neck plates off old music masters and put them on strats to rip people off, so they may not be far off. My 65 is an "a" nut 1 1/2" but alot are "b" which is vintage standard 1 5/8" on tele and strats. I have seen one music master with "c" nut width 1 11/16" so there are some wide ones out there.
Old necks on new guitars are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!. You get the feel of vintage without the hit to the wallet!!
Love my American Special HH Mustang, everyone needs a short scale guitar in their collection
Wow ! That opening Jam, after a long day that was refreshing and picked me up ! Thank you Pete & Captn Leek : )
This video was awesome, really love the 1-on-1 at the end with the classic vibe vs the vintera. Loved the sound of this two!
I have a the offset 90 and honestly it's the most stable and resonate thing I've ever played. I did a few things that put it into a different level: fender locking tuners, ultra series hard tail bridge (my favorite for comfort), and lollar p90s. I play that guitar waaaay more then any of my others
That last jam was killer! Great job creating good content in this time of isolation.
I used to own an original 1966 Mustang. Selling it was a mistake. It had a great clean tone. It was difficult to play and felt fragile, but it sounded really nice...
I love it when Pete works purple rain into his solos!!! 💜🔥
Finally! A decent video on a Mustang!
Im getting a Squire Mustang tomorrow, im so excited!
Lee and Pete are the Anti - heroes we need in these times 🤟🏻
Thank you guys!
Have a 1965 Mustang (Daphne Blue) and it plays and sounds extremely well! I don’t think it really matters what you play as long as you get the sound you want to hear. With strings, pickups & pickup positions, mics, amps (with hundreds of control combinations), speakers and a plethora of pedals to incorporate, I don’t think there is a person alive that could tell a $500 guitar from a $30,000 guitar if the were being played behind a curtain!
Probably every Cobain’s fan need one.
I got one
Thinking of getting a squire one
I’m just happy to be here. Carry on
Thank you to the Captain and Pete. Very enjoyable!
I love these two last videos (Jags & Mustangs). Awesome work guys!
So nice for you to make a video dedicated for my favorite guitar model. Playing here my MIJ Mustang along with you guys. :)
The tones on the last jam, pure gritty old school!
I’m gonna say it. This guitar is just as versatile as a Strat or Jaguar.
Indeed
That opening jam had kind of a Celtic ring. Yes, I LOVE the Mustang. Need to own one.
Sounds thin on its own, but it’s a perfect rhythm guitar for cutting through when playing in a full indie/alternative band. The boxy, contained frequency spectrum just works great as part of a live mix
Good for home recording too as it has a certain compressed, characterful sound immediately. So not one for the home blues shredders probably
Damn it! Now I want a classic vibe mustang. 🙂 I had a vintage vibe mustang but I struggled with it. Willing to give the vibrato mustang another try. I really liked the out of phase options. I have a p90 and hh bullet. I like them both.
Great playing and thanks.
I started on a 70s Mustang and a deluxe reverb silver grille in 1976.
There was nothing it seem that combo with a fervant heart for musical love magic couldn't do.
There are two coil springs under the wiggle stick plate.
Affordable in the 60s was a relative thing. My parents bought me a new a Musicmaster in 1968 for $125. That’s $800 in 2020 dollars!
Very Cool Demo/Review. Thankyou. Awesome sound and the 24 inch scale is what catches my attention with The Mustangs. Will be getting one for sure ..... one day. Cheers
I have a player mustang and they are so good. Came out of the box from fender perfectly set up and the short scale is nice even with my big hands .i have P90 pickups and it sounds very mellow and smooth really nice. Also good value
The Duo-sonic (with some work) is the one of the best guitar Fenders ever made. As you stated, it was originally designed as a student guitar. I'm 67 and the Mustang was the first electric guitar I ever owned. The problem was that they never stayed in tuned with that horrible tremolo. The Duo was a hardtail. What people didn't realize back then was that you could put string ferrules in the back of the body (like a Tele) like the ones you're showing because in the original the strings went into the tailpiece and not in the body at all. There are six holes in the original Duosonic tailpiece that, after you drill holes in the body and install the ferrules you can also install Strat saddles and then the guitar plays perfectly in tune. That said the pickups sucked as well but they are the same size as a standard Strat so they are easy to replace. The tuners were cheap back then so you just replaced them. Nowadays it's much easier to get super high quality parts to replace the crap with. I'm saying this because with some work you have a guitar that sounds great, is super light weight and extremely easy to play because of the short scale length. In fact, I had my friend and luthier build me a custom Duosonic that I've been playing for over 11 years. I've done a couple of hundred gigs on it and it's still going strong.
Bruce Baldwin awesome insight, you just dropped a ton of knowledge. I've always been interested in the Mustang because to me they sound like an angry telecaster, always wanted one but I was a 90's child and never wanted to look like a Kurt Cobain wannabe. Thirty years later I still want one. But you really know your stuff and have inspired me to pick one up, thanks for that. One last thing I've always loved the fact they plug in the front and not at the bottom like a telecaster.
Fabulous playing! you make me want a Mustang.
The Intro -That’s how a soul feels in America
When one experience’s the Grand Canyon .
It’s a beautiful thing… God Bless
Love seeing Mustangs getting some love.
'72, I order a Fender Catalog,,,,sure, SB Strat, Blonde Tele were great for a 15 year old kid to pine over.
Fave of the lot, SB Mustang. short scale with 22 frets....in Love. Maybe I could buy one ;)
Kurt C wasn't happy with the bridge. Can't say. After nearly 50 years, I've never played one !!
One thing I love about my Mustang is that it plays great and has a very distinct and cool sound from every other guitar I own. I It’s an interesting guitar that is great once you get it set up correctly
You guys always do great entertaining videos!
Awesome video once again guys!! Thank you so much :)
Our pleasure! 🤘
Dude Pete, you look exhausted man! I've wanted a mustang for ages, now I want one more...again....
That yellowish Squier is the best looking one. Hands down
Yeah thats the one i got. Its an awesome cream looking finish and the dark tortishell pickguard does it justice too.
That final jam! Pure fire, guys!
Love my Japanese Mustang ❤️ one of my favourite guitars!
There's something between the scale length and that bridge that open chords and streamy playing just sound great on Mustangs. Also put a hot rails in the bridge and they're one of the best guitars for punk rock rhythm.
I love my Squier Mustang! I’m planning on learning about guitar modding with it!
Also, the hype behind the ‘64 Fender Mustang was probably boosted by the fact that the Ford Mustang sports car came out during the same year
don't have one yet, yet, but want one of almost all of these they're just phenomenal little things that, in my opinion, produce some of the coolest sounds of a fender guitar
Got a 1970 mustang and the difference in tones between the positive and negative phases is really noticable
Mine is a 1964, but highly modified. My favourite guitar, the cigar vibrato is just special when set up correctly.
I agree I love the classic vibes even though I have a couple vintages
Set it up like Todd Rundgren's and replace the awkward little pickup switches for a Gibson-style toggle switch. You can leave your out-of-phase sounds at the curb.
Timing and mix on the intro jam was on point considering the challenges, nice work lads
HaHa.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! 🤘
I have the exact same CV Mustang that Pete plays and it's now the only guitar I use. There the most underacted, versatile guitar on the planet.
I've been loving the captain's playing lately
Hi from North Carolina, Danish Pete and Lee Anderton!! I have a Squier Jagmaster offset 24" scale. Love it!
I got a steal of a deal on a 1966 Mustang that had quiet a bit of work done to it over the years.... still has the best out of phase tone I've ever heard....
I want to own a Mustang at some point. I had the pleasure to playing one that was old enough to be my father last year, and it was just awesome, except it was near impossible to tune because the tuning machines were 60+ years old and not well-maintained.
If I'm going to buy one, I'd probably go for a brand-new Squier or something. They look like pretty high-quality guitars, to be honest...
as a lifetime amateur guitarist, im desperately looking for this guitar. its look simple, sleek, neat, just grab-to-go goodies, really want the olive or white one!
Thinking of getting one with the p 90 . Had an original back in the day. Sounded like a strat. Those are pretty cool. Great demo guys.
Was the original one you had p90s as well?
Im proud to say i own one. I belive its 1970 or so. Got it from my grand father after he passed away. I absolutely love it
When I was 14 and able to play my first few chords the brother of a friend of mine came home with a black fender mustang... This first impression with an electric guitar has always stayed with me...just like your first girl you had sex with will always have a special place in your heart. Anyways..these early 70's black mustangs ..with a black fingerboard have become rare and somewhat expensive. So I was thrilled to hear fender came with re-isseus...BUT NOT IN BLACK
I know right!! Why can’t they do black with matching headstock. On any of the offsets!!
There is something incredibly relaxing about these lads talking about and playing guitars or is it just me , pure relaxed love it
Exactly! Reminds me of going to a guitar store with a good friend or somebody in your band and just trying out and comparing guitars. All excitement and good vibes. Especially cool in these times where we can't really do that
The opening jam had such a 90s brit-pop rock sound it was unreal. Took me back to my childhood ahhaha
favorite guys...favorite guitars...happy Thursday Nite!
YES! I’ve wanted this video!
The other guitarist in my first band had one of the CIJ models back then. It was blue with the competition stripes and matching headstock. And with plenty of mojo :). I’ve changed the ugly stock tuners on my Stratocaster to Kluson Deluxes with cream pegs just like the ones on Mustangs. It’s quite unique and they look great with the Midnight Wine colour.
Cap'n, the Duo Sonic was originally featured with a three way switch. It was 22.5 scale. The slide switches where added in 64 to match the Mustang, but didn't have a vibrato. Cheers from America! That Mustang (American Performer) really is a wild beast vs the old. I love mine. It's too cool for school.
These are great for surf and spaghetti western sounding stuff. The bottom e has the best dirty twang I've heard on a guitar.
pete's intro solo reminded me of sweet home alabama 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻 rock on man
they’ve got that G chord down pretty good
Not only the most beautiful looking guitar, but also extremely easy to play. I love Jaguars, and Strats are solid, but the Mustangs tick all the boxes for me.
My tip is to replace the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan single-coil humbucker to give it a bit more bite, without swamping the tone.
Nice concert. Thanks Andertons!
Loving all the alternative guitar vids
The offset guitars deserve love too... Glad you're enjoying them! 🤘
Lockdown is a dangerous time for guitar addicts! 😳 You’ve already convinced me I need a jazzmaster and a jaguar!
Have an American performer in the penny color and love it. So much fun to play with the short scale. Liked it so much I have a player series with the P90s on the way.
I feel like the Mustang is one of those guitars that you can throw a shit ton of pedals at and have a blast making all sorts of weird and backwards sounding stuff. :)
I see Pete, I click like!
Definitely dig the Vintera series the best, and I would have to go with seafoam green or whatever they are calling it. But that price point on the Vintera series, considering it is made in Mexico, seem too high. Great video guys, thanks for the upload!
My first REAL guitar was a Fender Mustang. This was a long time ago, in province far far away, .... 1964 Olympic White with tortis guard, and the small headstock ( large was '65 on)
Got One Last Year. Great guitar.
1:15 Pete and his cheeky Purple Rain lick
I have a ‘74 mustang and it’s easily one of my most reliable and beloved guitars
Really nice jam at the end
the 22.5" scale length duo sonics were reissued in the 90s I think. Ryan from 60 cycle hum has one and you can stumble upon them on craigslist sometimes
Really love your videos guys, great that you keep your content going. :) I have a suggestion about your camera.. Vids look great but could be even better if you put your cameras in same distance and height from each of you.. If you do so those proportion that make the video a little bit weird will disapeare (like the floor and walls will look like they are at the same angles like you are in the same room) :) Love you guys!
I own a 1966 mustang and it sounds just as good as all my strata..in 66 they used strat pickups with the poles covered my 64 musicmaster has a great vintage sound also..you are right the new ones sound cheap as hell.. that's the reason why the vintage ones sell for so much .I got a couple for sale.. come get one !!!
I'm looking for a body for my 65 MM neck Probably interested in a Mustang body instead of a MM Let me know what you have Thanks
Hey Paul I'm here in Texas..I have about 30 guitars .I own many Les Paul's , Stratocasters and Paul Reed Smiths and many others to name..the only thing I have laying around is a Fender strat neck and a broken body of a guitar Paul Stanley gave me at a show.i run across Alot of things..I'll keep my eyes open for you..I own a studio called Sound Station Studios in Kerrville Tx ..look me up on face book.i do sound for hundreds of clients..I'll look around but vintage stuff is hard to find..thanks for shouting Roy
How about the Crafted in Japan reissues?
You don't need a vintage model, as great as they are. A simple electronics swap on a modern Mustang will do the trick.
