Fender

Four decades later the Mustang still has the punch that made it a trademark rocker.

Fender's reissue of the '65 Mustang Electric Guitar, hearkens back to the first full year of Mustang production. The Mustang guitar was originally conceived as a student model but over time it's been seen on some important shoulders including those of David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren, and Adrian Belew to name just a few!

This reissue Mustang has great color and cosmetic options, as well as a heightened level of period-correct detailing (body wood, logos, etc.)

Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

The actual best of the bunch

Possibly the best guitar ever made

Overall:

In my review of the Mustang Special, I had said that it was the best Mustang; but that was before I played this one. This is certainly my favorite Fender guitar, perhaps even my favorite guitar entirely. I still like the Mustang Special, but that's more like a Stratocaster in some ways. If you're looking for a real, high quality Fender Mustang, this is the one (by those terms it's the only "real" Mustang left). Playability is extraordinary, pickups are amazing (no muddiness or anything like that), and is just a really great guitar. The only thing keeping me from buying one is the price, but if you can afford it it's totally worth it.

I had a 1972 Competition blue Mustang back in the 80's and have also played the new ones. The new ones are actually a little better built than what mine was. But, the price is a joke. That line of guitars was orginallly meant to be a beginner or student guitar. Because of Kurt Cobain and the fact that he used one, I cannot afford one of the new ones much less an vintage one. The whole Fender line increased in price a while back but this guitar went up by $200 or more. It should cost about what a MIM Strat costs because that's about the level it is on. Come on Fender, seriously. Put the price to where it belongs and I would be glad to buy one and be a pround Mustang owner once again.

The Fender Mustang was my first "real" guitar, back in high school.  I thought it was sort of cool that they were doing a reissue, yet it wasn't really that great of a guitar to begin with.  Back in the late 70s/early 80s you could catch them all day long at pawn shops for about 100 bucks.  So, anyway, good to see the Mustang back, just not sure if it's worth the price for a little "vintage vibe" from a guitar that's mostly mediocre at best...

Overall:
I've owned this guitar for nearly 2 years now and I love it. I got mine just before they jumped up to nearly a grand. Mine was over $700 and I thought that was about $200 too high. Don't get me wrong, it's a great guitar and I have no intentions of selling it. It works for blues, surf-rock, alt.-rock and classic rock very well. These are infinitely better than the originals from the 60s-80s. Fender did an excellent job making it look vintage to the tee! I got the Olympic White with Red Tortoise-Shell pick-guard (the best of the the 3 color schemes). The 24" scale is great for my small fingers. I'm not letting go of mine, and the Japanese-made Fenders rival the American in my opinion, but another reviewer had it right when he said the price sky-rocketed because of Kurt Cobain. I don't think he'd even play one if he were alive today b/c they're so mainstream and ridiculously priced. If I were in the market for one these days, I'd just invest in an American-made Strat for $60 more. Great guitar, though, I will say that.

The 1k price is outrageous. I've wanted wanted one of these for 7 years but i CANNOT AFFORD IT! Lower the price Fender and these babies will sell. If not keep it the same and discontinue it for the 100th time and bring it back in 10 years, maybe by then I'll be able to afford it!
