So, a lot of you may not recognize me because I haven't been on this forum for a very long time, but it's good to be back! I got a job (I'm 16) and finally saved enough money to get my first Fender guitar. Here she is...

Image Image Image

She's a 1995 Mustang '65 reissue. Definitely has some "character" but I love it. I put a SD Hot Rails in the bridge, as you can see, since I play a lot of harder rock and the stock pup was a little too twangy. The Hot Rails give it a nice warm clear tone. My guitar before this was an Epiphone Les Paul Special II and I can definitely tell the difference in tone and quality. The feeling of going to a beginner model guitar to a punk rock workhorse is incredible. I'm also a big Nirvana fan, and this guitar was made in the same factory as one of Kurt Cobain's Mustangs, only a couple years later. Definitely adds some cool factor to it :D . It also does surf rock really well!

I'm really proud of this guitar. I worked hard to get her and hopefully she'll last for years to come. Hope you guys like her :D .

A fine instrument indeed.

Rawk on!

Awesome guitar man. Those hot rails are definitely hot. You can melt faces with that thing.

Congrats on the new guitar. White with a tort guard is one of my favorite color combos. Enjoy!!

That's a very good guitar!

Keep it and play it for 25 years and you will probably have something people worship.

If it sounds good to YOUR ears, that's what it takes.

And it's a Fender, man! It doesn't get better than this!
