I have the Red Competition: beautiful.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin and short, rather confusing at first. Not very practical on the boxes after the Twelfth, you really have to go with the fingertips, but overall it's very playable, and finally it will not please everyone.

Access to acute is no problem. The ergonomics are excellent, and finally to me. The guitar is small and light, a pleasure to play both standing than sitting.

If you get a good sound easy? Everything is relative. I would say yes.

Small negative point for the bridge: Disagree fast vibrato guitar, and I had some problems of buggery heavy rope in the beginning, but apparently it has managed ... I will add that to palm mute it a bit hot you have to find the right position with the hand becaufe the bridge is quite "bulky", Needless to say we should try before you buy.

SOUNDS

The sound of this guitar are perfect for my type of music:

_for the lead much twang, or typed Shadows Indochina in the 80's, it's perfect
_for rhythms with a well typed indie Arcade Fire or FF: same thing, a little treat for you to have appropriate effects.

I play it directly on the speakers through my pedalboard Korg AX1500G, with amp simulation and effects get really all I want the foot.

This guitar has a very crystalline, pure Fender. Jaguar enthusiasts, Start and Tele another, you will find your happiness, but watch it even when his personality: you remember the guitar on the Adventurer in Indochina? It is this gem ... Smells like teen spirit of Nirvana? It also ...

Against it by the lack of serious, but it is not what is asked. She moved into the midrange and treble is his domain. A treat, I tell you!

The bridge pickup a little breath, the classic single coils ... careful with the distortion, consider a good noise gate.

Note also that way already mentioned below, the output level of the microphones is very small, indeed it is very annoying if you have any presets on your gear it will be necessary to adapt this guitar ... but she deserves.

OVERALL OPINION

I own a Mustang for two months

Most:

_The Its
_The Mouth
_The Legend (for me)

The -:

_The Easel
_The Small volume of the microphones is not a tragedy but it's a shame

This guitar is very rare, if ever you find one, jump at the chance, that's what I did. It cost me $ 620 USD on ebay, price / quality ratio so excellent.

With experience, I definitely do it again this choice. I highly recommend to all lovers of sounds twang, punk rock and good old 60's, she excels in these genres. And even other ... it is a beautiful instrument.
