Fender Mustang Special series "Pawn Shop" made in Japan.
Acquired a week ago, replacing a Gibson Les Paul Studio Double buckbusters rise, I really looking for a guitar with a warm, pleasant handle.
The two double splitables microphones, to use all possible combinations between two doubles, a double sleeve or bridge, or a simple easel or acute or severe neck (well round / round, or neck / bridge, etc.. Look at the picture of two small switches to understand what will be simpler!) are quite effective.
The finishes are not bad at all, nothing to say.
The neck is thin enough, and I got used to it right away and is also a little shorter than usual strat handle or les paul.
The quality of the varnish looks really good, it's the kind of thing I usually do not pay attention, but there was really a kind of "mirror" when looking good is smooth and regular.
It comes with cover "Deluxe" (what a bag with lots of pockets and padded well enough)

UTILIZATION

I find it quite balanced, although I have yet played nearly seated. It is not very heavy. The handle is like I said easy access, it glides well without it raises questions. Why should try it, I hesitated between three fenders and I really cracked on the handle.
For settings, you get very quickly to different knobs. Volume, tone, and split the pickups.

Only bad point, and I believe in the usual fender, sometimes input jack sizzles a little. But unfortunately this is the kind of evil against which it is difficult to control on some models. In all cases, guaranteed one-year magazine.

SOUNDS

Question her, I could not play much, unfortunately: in what I could do to saturated crunch on a tube amp (peavey), it left the way I like, while sensitivity. The tones are good, you feel the move towards the bridge pickup solo harmonics, and the neck pickup to make a round at the grave significant rhythmic crunch. In clean it - and I think it the advice of a friend having tried and being rigorous enough - round, warm, and when the foil is triturated microphones in the treble.
In short, for now I'm really happy after a week of use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, after owning a U.S. Start and a simple 2 Gibson Les Paul with 2 doubles, and after trying a jaguar and a Mexican Start (mainly, I have tried many others) . I suggest you just out of curiosity to try if you can, it sounds more distinctive than usual to the fender in this price range usually reserved for Mexican.

Next week I'll play much, so my opinion is detail, but for now this choice I would do without hesitation.

Overall Rating 09 because I did, except this little fault input jack that sizzles 5 seconds, absolutely nothing against.
