70s competition mustang
I love it, it's surprisingly resonant? I was not expecting much.
The pickups are great, I live on the bridge pickup, with a blues driver,

This guitar cleans up better than my other two guitars that have bridge humbuckers, I dig that

It is more clear and bright compared to the split custom custom I've been using in my Duo Sonic HS, but not brighter in the highest highs, the duo sonic has 500k pots!

The vibrato is wacky I didn't attach the arm I just wiggled the cigar and it made me laugh out loud cuz it was so different from everything I've played before

The big control knobs are nice

Fretboard not very rolled but no nasty fret ends

Action higher than I like but you can whale on it without a lot of buzz, I will learn to adjust the bridge later.

7.25 radius feels really good, I used to not put my thumb over the neck but now I do, and I don't like doing it on my Ibanez very much, but I like this. I've had 7.25" strat before and I missed it for some things like open chords

bends feel good, the tiny frets are fine, can't play as fast as my Ibanez But

This is a nice looking light weight guitar and it's just has like a slinky feel and chewy sound that is still twangy, and a little nasal like a strat middle pickup?
 
love that!!

does it have the shorter scale too?

I saw the Bullet Mustangs with the two hums and am just super curious about those
 
We have a song we are doing in the studio with a 70s glam/glitter rock bridge. I have been looking for a guitar with a different flavor for that part. Your Mustang would be perfect.

Nice guitar.
 
I've never actually played a Mustang, and the shape never did much for me. Until I saw the color of yours...that's cool!
 
Smells like nirvana :scratchch

I definitely want one of those some day. I'm worried the trem won't be any good, but then again I haven't been very much of a trem user lately anyway.

Yeah I didn't realize Kurt had one of this color until way late in the decision process,

I also have a squier and Jazzmaster that I garage rattlecanned into blue with a competition stripe

I was also watching a couple used American performer mustang in light blue,

But my Duo Sonic HS is already light blue,

And they stick hot pickups in the performer series, I wanted the traditional sound!

For vibrato sounds I have that Jazzmaster, it is noisey with gain but it is very fluid
And also an Ibanez Rg 470, it has a locking system.

Adrian Belew did some pretty amazing stuff with a Mustang, although he put a Kahler on it.
