Anyone out there played the new Fender Mustang (both versions) or the Duo-Sonics? Wondering how they compare to the Mustang 65 Classic Reissue.

The new mustangs both sound and play amazingly(i want to try the hs duo) the 9.5 neck is really comfortable, however the only thing the have in common with the 65' is name the new mustangs are nothing close to the old ones, the 65' has vintage pickups, a 7.25" neck, vintage tuners, a poplar body, and vintage frets, the offset series is a 9.5" neck with medium jumbo frets, the single coil mustang has a maple fretboard, i believe they have alder bodies, hard tail brides and no rhythm circuitry, i personally prefer the 65' but the new ones are a better bang for your buck and more comfortable neck, in this case i gotta go with the cliche "play both before you buy" they are very different guitars
