Let's Talk About The Fender Mustang!
Let’s chat about this amazing design! Short scale, offset body, interesting pickups and pickup selection options, as well as a super cool dynamic vibrato! I first got hit to this design about 10 years ago watching the ‪@EricHaugenGuitar‬ channel and was inspired to create my own ‪@RetroSoundGuitars‬ version to capture some of that Mustang mojo! Thanks to ‪@Puisheen‬ Mike Adam’s for the tutelage on proper Mustang set up! These guitars are a blast and definitely fill in a gap in most people’s collection. There’s a surprisingly diverse group of players who have used these guitars over the years. Let’s dive into a little history and learn more!
