MGR/zontar « Fender Mustang »
Published on 10/20/07 at 15:00I've played guitar for over 30 years. I've played different stuff over the years--mostly blues & rock, but now primarily play my 12 string at church.
I had tried a Mustang a couple of years before I actually bought one--they weren't to common around here in the late 70's/early 80's. I bought it in 81. I was in a music store to buy a phase shifter--instead I put a down payment on a Mustang. The store was having a moving sale and the lower price was impossible to pass up! (I later got the pase shifter as well.)
The small neck. I have long fingers, and can handle larger scales--but it's fun to really strecth out on the amller scale. Also it's great for learning tricky pieces before trying them on another guitar.Also the sound--I love the out of phase setting.I also love the floating trem--it's smooth, subtle and works well.
I'm more a humbucker guy than single coil, but I think if I put humbuckers on this, it would ruin it.
It can be to quiet--as far as volume, but tI guess that's why amps have volume controls!
Sturdy, bolt on neck.Electronics on pickguard.
When I bought it I was hesitant in one way as I don't like maple fingerboards. The body I have now had a maple fingerboard, and the one with the rosewood fingerboard had an ugly brown finish. The salesman said they could swap necks--so I did that. Sunburst with rosewood fingerboard!
