Bully Mustang
... Is the affectionate name I've given this guitar. Delivers thick, almost dirty tone, pushes the listener around with force and aggression.. everything about how it sounds doesnt equate to the price I paid for it ($199 CDN). I, at the till, almost felt like I'd gotten away with ripping the clerk off. Despite the lack of intonation, the hardtail bridge is a nice improvement from the VM mustangs released a while back. But could it hurt to have someone look at the bridge before sending it off? Price I pay, I guess.
The idea that I can afford a quality guitar with a decent neck that fits my hands with a great size fretboard (12" radius) is a godsend, and as I've been thrust upon taking the spot of lead guitar in my band, Squier couldn't have arrived with these a moment too soon. I imagine I'll buy another to complement my Cobain Mod Squier Stang on the road.

Great guitar for starters & experienced players alike
I bought this guitar as a backup just in case anything happened to my main guitar. But the more I played it it really grew on me. I use it for math rock tapping & it does great with doing so. I've also tried other genres on it (Ambient, Grunge & even Post Metal). It did great for those genres. This guitar is worth the money.
Incredible
For the money, this guitar is so good!!!!!! Both pickups are have an incredible sound, but I installed a seymour duncan jb pickup in the bridge because Kurt Cobain did. But thats just me. The feel of the neck is comfortable, as long as you like satin necks. The only problem i have with it is the bridge, mostly because it doesn't stay in tune incredibly well. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone.

Amazing
I have a decent collection of guitars, and this one shot into my top 3 of my collection almost off the bat. Light and feels great, stays in tune well, and sounds amazing. Only made some aesthetic changes to it, and always sits in my room and comes with me to gigs. Fantastic guitar.

It's my first guitar
It's my first guitar, probably not the best, but it works great for an inexperienced guitarist. My only complaint is it gets out of tune a little quicker than I would hope, but otherwise it's great. It plays really well and sounds super cool.

I really like these guitars. Good way to get you into Mustangs. ONE OF US. The pickups sound pretty good, and I'm sure you appreciate the sound of them for pop-punk

Amazing for money.
Bought it as another alternate tuning guitar so I would have a humbucker guitar in good condition and also because it was Kurt Cobain's favorite model. My Lotus Les Paul copy was in very bad condition and sounded poor so I bought this for $150 off amazon. Very dark and high output buckers.
I LOVE this guitar.
I bought it out of interest because I grew up listening to Nirvana and was blown away by the quality and playability of the guitar. It's just so much fun to play. Here's a video of the review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxKR0qgCLd0

But at the time it really showed that you didn't need a super expensive guitar to get good sound, cause he did a lot with it.
