Originally released in the 1960s, the Fender Mustang combines the short-scale length & offset body design to make bending a breeze. But that's not all... The Mustang pickups are known for giving a growl and grit to any guitarist. With features like that & much more, there is no question this incredible offset guitar has stood the tests of time in becoming the guitar that bites back!

Some awkward moments trying to avoid mentioning Cobain haha

[SpeedBoost]

The fact that Lee is on the Right Side of the screen is the most disturbing thing about this whole Quarantine!

The vintage Duo Sonic shown on screen is a Duo Sonic II, which was a redesign of the model from 64. The Duo Sonic and Musicmaster were given Mustang bodies and pickguards.
The original Duo Sonic shape is not offset and is the current available version being made today.
The Duo Sonic II exists today in the form of the hardtail Mustang.

That “cheap sound” is kind of the point- for those of us who went to college in the 90s, the jangly Mustang evokes indie heroes like Liz Phair, Pavement, and sure, Kurt Cobain. There’s just nothing else like it.

I love my Mexican Mustang. The satin neck is great and the short scale is just really fun and easy to play. I have been playing for about 1.5 years now and it's the most fun guitar I've played so far.

Finally someone talks about one of my favorite guitars. THE MUSTANG!!!!

[oldmanzen]

Anytime Pete adds a lick from the Acoustasonic loop, I think we all smile a little inside.

Is it only me or the pink mustang with the P90s has such a magnificent

[CGCEifel]

Mustangs and Duo Sonics are just instant fun.

I have a mustang bass and the thing is total magic. Maybe it’s time to equal things up with a six string too.

[ThatBrendonGuy]

The Mustang sure does resemble that time my little nephew tried to draw my Stratocaster, but I do want one...

[thomasraven]

The Squier Bullet Mustang deserves to be in the mix too. I've set a couple of them up for beginners and there's no better value from FMIC.

[jadmcgregor]

I have a '69 Mustang that was a gift from my father. I have to say that these guitars are very underrated!! Mine screams and growls!!

[fritzherrmann]

I started on a 70s Mustang and a deluxe reverb silver grille in 1976.
There was nothing it seem that combo with a fervant heart for musical love magic couldn't do.

[joeparadise]

Adrian Belew was partial to Mustangs around the time King Crimson recorded "Discipline, " the weight and the responsiveness of the tremolo being the main reasons as I recall. I keep ALMOST buying one.

Love my American Special HH Mustang, everyone needs a short scale guitar in their collection

[sambleach]

Guys, of course, they are springs, under the plate, the cigar bar is connected to them, and also they have 3 different slots with different tension! And it's a simple but effective bridge, a really common mod in Jaguars and Jazzmasters is to swap their bridges to a Mustang.
They had originally vintage frets and it's a short-scale guitar, that's its magic, the crystal clear sound that you can get from them, and having much less sustain make them a good blank canvas to use pedals.
That's why people like Norah Jones, Ty Segall, Omar Rodriguez, Graham Coxon, and John McLaughlin use them!

I used to own an original 1966 Mustang. Selling it was a mistake. It had a great clean tone. It was difficult to play and felt fragile, but it sounded really nice...

[Flavum]

Set it up like Todd Rundgren's and replace the awkward little pickup switches for a Gibson-style toggle switch. You can leave your out-of-phase sounds at the curb.

[phildale]

I have the exact same CV Mustang that Pete plays and it's now the only guitar I use. There the most underacted, versatile guitar on the planet.
