I just bit the bullet on a Pawn Shop mustang in Lake placid blue.

I love the pickups and the coil splitting.. and with a scale shorter than a LP I am going to
try 12s in Drop D. The shop is adjusting the nut for 12.s
:lol:


But I want to say playing it through a Vox ac 30 and a Hot Rod III amp.. the tone baby .. the tone :D

Kudos to fender on the wide range humbuckers... they are awesome.

Congrats! I'm kinda torn on the Pawnshop series. I like the Mustang the most out of all of them but, I just wish they would come out with a new original guitar instead of redoing the current ones with different switches and pickups.

But still a sweet guitar, and yes those Hot Rod amps sound great! :D

Yeah I know what you meant but what are the options for a company that does bolt togethers? Must be hard to come up with something totally new.

maybe some new body styles I guess


cheers :D

Hey,

Could you let me know how you can get 18 different mic configurations out of that guitar?

I can only think of 15:
* 3 setups using one switch and the selector in the bridge position
* 3 setups using one switch and the selector in the neck position
* 3×3 setups using two switches and the selector in the middle position

What am I missing? I can't seem to find any information on the subject (owner's manual, videos, articles, …)

By the way, I guess the Monkey Lord is Rob Chapman aka Chappers. He did a convincing review of that guitar (although I'm sure he could make any guitar sound great).

No one has any clue on how to get those 18 tones?

:wink:

(selector 3 options) x (switch top left 3 options) = 9
+
(selector 3 options) x (switch top right 3 options) = 9
=
18

Thanks for your reply.
This doesn't work, I think, since when the selector in on bridge, the neck switch doesn't change de tone. Same when the selector is on neck and you change the bridge switch.

I raised this question in another thread. Fender's math is wrong. Simply wrong. There are 15 pickup combinations, that's it. 16 if you count unplugging the guitar. :shock:

With the neck pup you get 3 (Neck coil, both, bridge coil), and with the bridge pup you get 3. That's 6 combinations.
With both pups on you get 9 combinations (N&N, N&2, N&B, 2&N, 2&2, 2&B, B&N, B&2, B&B, when N is neck coil, B is bridge coil, 2 is both coils). 9+6=15.

They figured 3 neck pup settings, plus 3 bridge pup setting = 6 combination, times 3 positions on the toggle switch. That's 18, but it's wrong math. You don't have 6 combinations when the toggle switch is in the neck or bridge position, only 3 in each. And you don't have 6 combinations, when the toggle is in the middle position, you have 9.

But, like a multiple speed bicycle, do you REALLY get that much by going from 18 speeds to 21 speeds? Or, on the Mustang, going from 15 combos to 18?

The PS Mustang is still like a Swiss Army Knife of sounds. Very cool! Enjoy it!

Thanks for replying. We share the same logic and math ;)

I don't care that much for three extra combinations but it was just driving me crazy to think I was missing on something. The Mustang IS an awesome tool.

I just discovered on mine that when the toggle is selecting the neck pup, ALL/BOTH sliders change the tone significantly :shock: What the? When it's down, selecting the bridge pup, only the bridge sliders change tone. Can anyone shed some light on this or do I have a miswired ax? Nicely though, all the tones sound great. But still...... perhaps this is where the # 18 comes from? Does anyone have a manual on this? I can't find one.

There is no manual (at least that's what Fender support told me).

I'm not sure I understand your point, but when my pickup selector is in the neck position, only the neck slider changes the tone. Both sliders change the tone only when the pickup selector is in the middle position.
