Heya there!
I need your help (again). But this time with amps.
I currently have a Fender Mustang I, with a Boss VF-1 multi-effects processor, a Boss FC-50 pedalboard and a Roland EV-5, with a crappy 100€ guitar.
I saw a 2nd hand deal, in which the seller was selling his Fender Frontman 212r for 120€, that is, more or less, 150 dollars.
What should I do?
Buy the Fender Frontman? or Keep the Fender Mustang I and save the money for a better guitar?
Also, I'm a mostly bedroom player, who does some jams with friends, but not regularly. And when we do, they have bigger amps, incluiding a Fender Frontman 212r, so we use their amps.

Hey GF, I would ask myself what's more urgent or important atm & then go w/that. IMO you need both a good amp & guitar. It sounds like it might be a good deal for a good condition 212 frontman in Europe, but good deals do tend to come around from time to time. I probably didn't help you very much, did I? :) If it were me, I would concentrate on a quality guitar.

Oh what a shame, the amp has already been sold :(
Yeah, it would be better to concentrate on a better guitar, maybe a Fender New Standard (MIM) ;)
Thanks for the reply btw! :)

Just one more question. I've seen some MIM in white, and some look like they have a white-cream color in the body, and a fully white pickguard. Does the new MIMs look like that or it's all full-white?

this one here looks like full white on white. i.e. arctic white, as opposed to the american standard olympic white which appears to be a slightly darker shade.

I was reffering myself to this kind of color on the body, to be precise:
