Absolutely love the neck, love the assymetrical body shape, and the out of phase options in the switching. Wish the switches were either on the lower horn, or turned into mini toggles on the control plate, wish the bridge didn't shoot the guitar so completely out of tune so easily, and the stock pick-ups weren't exactly the best quality. But, for me, the good points outweigh the bad, so, overall, I love it.

What year is your Mustang?

I don't have tuning problems with mine--the bridge is a great one--I love it.
(I have a 1978 Mustang)

As for the guitar overall--it's a lot of fun. I prefer big chunky necks--but I also like the small thin neck of a Mustang--it's great for learning tricky stuff on, because it's smaller.

I love the out of phase sound--I'd say I use that about 85-90% of the time I use my Mustang.

I love the slotted machine heads on mine--easier to change the strings.

Overall a fun guitar, and I love mine.

I DID have a 03 Competition blue reissue, but it was stolen out of my car when I went into the music store to buy some straplocks for it. Someone bashed in my door window and pulled it out of the backseat. I was in the store for a mere ten minutes!! Loved that guitar soooo much... Used the insurance claim to get my Jag-Stang which had just been reissued that year. It's my baby, and her name is Polly b/c that was the first Nirvana song I had ever heard and I felt it was a good fit for her.

My 1st Fender was a '71 Mustang that my local guitar shop ordered for me directly from the old Fullerton factory. I wouldn't buy one of the Competition Mustangs with the racing stripe that they had in stock. It was sunburst with a pearloid pickguard and it came with the rectagular case with the god-awful orange plush interior. Had to sell it a few years later for college money, but I never got over it. Nearly 40 years later I wanted to replace it, but vintage ones were too high so I bought a Cyclone to try to fill the hole in my psyche. Didn't work. :cry:

Hold on to your Mustangs !!! Hold on tightly!!

Gaelguti - You didn't really specify whether you were referring to vintage Mustangs or the MIJ RI.

I have a black body perloid pickguard mustang with all the original elecs and parts (pots and pups). I love the trem and I really dont have any tone problems with it, in fact, I think is the best I have tried so far. The differnt alternatives offred by the switches are interesting and make this guitar really versatile. I have a lot of fun with it and I will defenitely go back to use it every time I play certain songs. This guitars are awesome and offer a unique sound on their own, a must have!

I have a mid 1990's olympic white Mustang that I bought this christmas. I cannot put it down. Prior to that I had a Duo-Sonic of the same time period. Even though they are quite similar I love my mustang so much more.

I've wondered how the reissues stack up against the vintage models. Anyone have both? Or maybe played both?

First electric guitar I ever bought....Fender Mustang with the date stamp on the neck NOV 8 1964. Had to call a friend to ask if that meant it was made November 8, 1964 (I was 19 years old...give me a braek). Been hooked on Fenders ever since. That guitar, however, was stolen in a burglary St Patrick's day 1979. I prayed for the thief to walk in front of a bus. Since than have owned 4 Mustang Basses & a Mustang 6 string. Still have 1 bass & 1 6 string. Love thase Mustangs to death!!!!!

I love the mustang particually the vintage competition stripe series with the matching headstock like Kurt Cobains. They have an amazing neck, and are great guitars. Fender Japan has many versions of them competition series reissue, and even kurt cobain models with the humbucker, unfortunately fender america doesn't have much of a mustang section, unlike fender japan. We will just have to wait for the 2009 nam to see if more mustang reissues come out in the u.s, particually the competition models.
