Fender USA special mustang

Tried one in my local shop today. Really decent but perhaps a little over priced at £900. Good range of tones and a nice neck, the tunomatic is a welcome addition. Hopefully they sell poorly and get reduced everywhere!

    I reckon they will. I think i've seen them around the £700 mark already. Reckon they'll be under £500 by the end of the year.

    And there was me thinking they'd run out of designs they can bastardise with humbuckers and Gibson hardware. Doh.

    They need to do it in some surfy colours.

    They couldn't have "Gibsonized" it more even if they gave it a single cutaway.

  • In principle I quite like them, but surely everyone wants a competition stripe mustang first and foremost?

    always preferred the Jap pawnshop mustang with HH config. Has a hardtail, but keeps the electronics..

    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    and before the pickup police come and get me yes I know that it is in all likelihood a humbucker in a pretty case
