Fender Mustang Reissue '69 (CD with a body contour strat fawn ')
Guitar Made in Japan is so much better ...
22 frets I think, two simple microphones spcial Mustang. Select the two switches is by tois positions (we have nine combinations of switch so only 4 sounds ). The unusual electronic access to the two pickups out of phase (see sound). Vibrato "Fender Dynamic Vibrato" which reputable bad, yet I have no problem with (rglage question may be) it can operate even without the stem!
CONTRL basic: Volume and Tone gnrale, remains what it was best for me (especially the CONTRL is effiaces is the Fender!)
The handle is short trs (24 inches 0.75 inches so unless a Les Paul) enjoyable, just got my end (I like those types "baseball bat" certainly )
Mcaniques of that vintage prsentent a good efficacitstyle, a caramel-colored handle BEAUTIFUL, a broad head type Fender 70's, a beige finish trs (too) strong ... Short but good!

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin and short, this is good for the lead. Access in acute is normal, it said I got more than enough!
The guitar is lgre and short, well-balance, perfect to move on scne (not tried it yet unfortunately). For me as bassist in gnrale, has changed at all at all! Assimilated to play no problem (but you do not play rock assi right?)
The vibrato ... as much a horror, it's also what I thought at beginners. Yet he too dsaccorde guitar (rglage question probably) you can operate it (a little) without the stem. By itself against allowed to play without a tie, in which case the rod can fall from the skyscraper, so we used the tiny screw that holds the rod and it is still in the passage of the hand ... His biggest default.
Forcment not easy to understand the use of switches. If you play on a single microphone, a hand can move the switch and we find ourselves in a position "silence" (the two microphones off). Better to avoid, broke the show Moreover, this position is BICKN silence that uses for the 1st time: you may wonder why there is no sound!

SOUNDS

Plays a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (lamps, an HP 12-inch). The sound is clear that the Fender. In crunch, it's always good ... In distortion, with the agreements, the draft has become. goes well with a lead all the same, even with a Fuzz (Proco Rat into a corner). The sound is overall mdium, brilliant. The output level is low, even for simple. In my opinion it is a quality achieves a subtle crunch keeping the same volume background. The strings are imbalances in volume, but against the bridge pickup has a sound lower than the handle! Not good! May be that the handle is a short-scale (lack of dbatement prs ropes of the bridge? Who knows?). Position with two mics out of phase, some do not, I love. It gives me a real position, not a gadget. A stroke of spring reverb, and thinks he's a surfer! In fact it's perfect for surfing, casseroles funky ... and also with a wha, try.
Good guitar buzz a lot, I will try to open it for the shield, and add a switch for the two microphones SERIES too.

In the end, a sound quality typical course, which may be a default if you are looking for versatility. For me it is a standard quality

OVERALL OPINION

I have less than two months. This is a guitar with strong characters, it was for that I chose from including a Start. It has a reputable lack of versatility, yet it is sized for the surf, funk, punk, garage, grunge ... It can also provide bluesy leads even if it is not his vocation. I tried a lot of scratch irrelevant that the (Gretsch, Schetter, Gibson, other Fender, Epiphone guitars ... very brief) and I made my choice knowingly. No scratching of the man in the world ... and that's good.
A $ 700 in the States, is a very good scratch for the price.
