MGR/Kit Atemus « Fender Competition Mustang Reissue »
Published on 02/23/04 at 15:00I am a drummer, and i decided i wanted to play guitar as well. I am a huge nirvana fan, so this was perfect since kurt cobain used a mustang 50% of the time. I bought it at the House of Guitars in Rochester N.Y. (the greatest music store on earth) for about $400.00...It was totally worth it!!!
First of all, the Candy Apple Red is a really buetiful color, and the stripes on the side adds a nice vintage, high school- garage rock look to it. The body almost molds to my body. It just works. The Neck's small size is great because i'm a small guy... The brigde is great too. It has all sorts of clean sounds possible. When its dirty, man its dirty. The Distortion is great.
I hate the pickup switches right above the low e string, they every once in a while get in the way of playing, but only sometimes. These were not made for hard rock or metal, so its a good idea to purchase hotrails for the bridge and/or get yourself a good distortion pedal.
Its really light weight...Its built brilliantly and everyone i see tells me how pretty it is. Its built so solid, i ocassionally bang the headstock on something, but it can take it and doesn't show alot of damage. I accedently droped it and it got some minor dings, but not any that have chipped (knock on wood). The guitar over all, is built very well for the price.
Oviously by looking at my review, i'm a big talker, but much is to be said about the mustang. For alternative rockers, it is a must. Its built nice, its extremly comptorable when sitting and standing, it sounds incredable, and looks oh so cool. It just rocks, don't waste your money on anything else.
