Trusted musician and artist reviews for Fender Mustang Electric Guitar
Based on 15 Reviews
Wow!
I've got a 1966 mustang and its the best guitar I've ever played.
I remember as a teen running into a 65 or 66 mustang and really loving the tone but having trouble with the short scale (I have long fingers). I am still kicking myself for not buying it, because it was udner a grand and I woulda turned a huge profit selling it later. Alas. But yeah, fender got the mustang sounding damned good back in the day. Love the wiring scheme and simple 3 ways to control it. Even the reissues sound nice, but the old ones have that certain somethin'-somethin'.... enjoy yours, cheers to being able to contain your fingers on the tiny fretboard!
I picked mine up for $500 it needed work but after i got it fixed up its a real player. Its definitely my best purchase to date.
great surf guitar
amazing guitar that i acquired at a great price. Great tone on the single coil pickups, great in/out of phase sounds. my only complaint is the terribly loose tremolo system and the fact that it is a pain to string.

This is the answer man, I have it on my mustang, cause I use vibrato a lot, it's amazing, as cool as my jazzmaster's vibrato
72
embodies that 'Fender jangle' sound. can't wait to replace the pickups with something a little hotter though
but they are wired in series, man, that's like a superwide humbucker when you wanna get all hot
Just cool.
I have had many different guitars, including the most popular ones, but the reason I love the Mustang is that I love the short scale size (especially as a gal), dig the comfortable curves (like a Strat, not just a block body), drool over the possible pickup combinations (out of phase Tele sounds!! And love how you can turn the pickups off so you can flick the switches to cut your sound in and out), and honestly just think it looks so cool. I have the fiesta red (FAVE Fender red...looks amazing in person, like it's a salmon-y/orangish red that has been faded after 50 years.....sigh) Kurt Cobain model. ALSO, I love how the switches don't stick out as much and also love the hot Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. Can I say love more?
This is my very favorite electric hands down.
I had a 90's Fender Strat, an 80's Les Paul and this is the guitar that made me ditch them, I love the tones I can get out of this guitar and the shorter scale is actually easier for me since I have smaller fingers. It is a wonderful guitar.
My 2nd Guitar
This was my 2nd guitar. It had a Sonic Blue finish and a tortishell pickguard. Only mods I have done are the Texas Special Telecaster pickups and Killswitch.
Amazing
Light and beautiful, amazing guitar and great look, sounds crisp and is everything you need
LOVE LOVE LOVE
This guitar is one of my favorite guitars to play funk on, the action is super low and great for slap style playing
