About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Small and fast -- like a sports car! Fender is proud to reissue the '65 Mustang guitar (1965 was the first full year of Mustang production). Originally designed as a 'student model,' the Mustang was nonetheless destined for greatness, and has been seen slung over the shoulders of great players such as David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren, Graham Coxon and Adrian Belew, to name but a few.

This reissue comes in great vintage colors (Daphne Blue, Olympic White and Dakota Red) with highly period-correct detailing. Features include a Poplar body, C-shaped Maple neck with 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard, 4-ply pickguard with classic control plate and pickguard gap, chrome hardware, Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuning machines with white buttons, floating bridge with 'Dynamic' vibrato tailpiece, 2 Mustang single-coil pickups with on/off slider switch and in/out phase switch for each pickup, 'F'-stamped neck plate and vintage correct headstock and bridge plate logos. A classic revived, and a real beauty at that!

"Fender Mustang Reissue"
Feature:
Mine didn't come with any accessories.

Quality:
It seems well made ive had mine for almost 6 months and havent had any problems.

Value:
I think for the value it is an Amazing guitar. Its good if you don't have a huge budget and need a reliable guitar.

Desirability:
All the tuners and stuff is chrome. I like it mine was Blue...I really like it.

Sound:
The clean sound is pretty good. The distortion is pretty good too, except when i play the strings open...it sounds different but not bad.

Ease of Use:
It is good to play. The body is smaller than most other guitars i have played. So it takes getting used too. But after that its amazing. The fretboard is a little smaller so if you don't like small fretboards/necks you probley shouldn't get this guitar.

Support:
I haven't had to use support...but i hear they do a good job and are fast.

Overall:
I love this guitar. Its all around good. The only bad thing is size. But size doesn't matter to me. If you want a guitar like this but its too small i would recommend either a Gibson SG or A Fender Highway One strat

Desirability:
absolutely awesome looking guitar

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is alright i love the clean sound but the distortion can sometimes seem like it fades if u play for hours... its a great guitar to gig with and is great for a classic/alternative rocker

Ease of Use:
the guitar was not easy to use when u frist buy it, ive bought 6 other guitars this being the 7th none of my other ones had as much fret buzz too high of action needed 2 setups and then 2 new pairs of strings to finally get it to sound good... they should do this before they sale the guitar...

Support:
never needed any support

Overall:
its a good guitar after u fix the bugs in it when u first but it great guitar
