Squire Sonic Mustang Electric Guitar, 2-Color Sunburst, Maple Fingerboard

First off, this is not a toy. The guitar's single coil pickups sound pretty good. I'm in the process of rehabbing a brachial plexus injury to my fretting hand and the neck is good enough to help me do that. There were a few sharp fret ends that needed to be filed, but other than that the few high frets don't seem to affect the playability. There is no string buzz. I use either tens or elevens for strings, and that keeps tuning issues to a minimum. Even with thicker strings than I used on full scale guitars, the bends are much easier. It's also between six and seven pounds, so not heavy, but not so light that you aren't aware its there. The pots are dime sized and the switch has a little play in it, but again, this is a really inexpensive short scale with really good playability, even with my bad hand. The intonation is easy to set on all but the low E string. I may have to remove the spring/shorten the screw for that one, but again, I'm not playing for anyone but me, so it's not like it's critical. And I'm sure it's fixable. I would highly recommend this guitar for anyone who likes a shorter scale, but doesn't want to play a true "mini" guitar, which would be about two inches shorter. And if you haven't tried a short scale guitar, you may want to consider trying this just for fun, or for a travel guitar.

This is a Christmas gift for my niece, she got all jelly when I gave my nephew my old LTD and begged me to get her a guitar, so when I found this sweet pink pick'n stick, it checked all the boxes for a beginner. As a guitarist who has been playing for decades, I can say this is a solid platform for any beginner to start out on and grow with. It's very light, the body is Bass Wood, which is an inexpensive quality tone wood, but you do need to becareful as it does nick easily if you are too rough with it or don't care for your instrument. THE FIRST RULE, when you buy a guitar, even a cheap one, get a quality case to keep it in, if you want to be a musician someday, you need a quality case, other musicians will respect you and take you more seriously if you keep your instrument in a case. So show your instrument some love, and get a case. Now onto the guitar. It comes well packaged and protected in a heavy cardboard box. After unwrapping it I began my inspection and checked the inspection card and went over the detailing and function, everything checks out okay, but the strings have to go, and since this is going to a pre-teen I got some Ernie Ball 11-48's, which are a pretty durable and easy to play string set for beginner youth. Highly recommend the Power Slinky's. So plan on replacing the strings with those or your favorite set. You never want to give a guitar as a gift with factory strings, anymore than you give someone a wallet as a gift with no money in it. Bad juju. The body is a Barbie like pink that just pop's! It's like it's saying "LET'S PLAY!". The controls and switch seem solid and easy to dial. There is plenty of area on this guitar for a young player to add their own 'Hello Kitty' stickers and bling if they want. So along with a set of strings, to make it an extra special gift, as set of stickers would do the trick. The Neck is a D shaped, maple neck. Kinda thick for a beginner, but seeing that its a starter platform you want a thick neck to extend the life and durability of the guitar. String bends and pull off's and overall play ability is comfortable and fun. The tuners are quality as well, after tuning it up with new strings it held tune surprisingly well, albeit I'm still in the process of stretching the strings, overall I'm genuinely impressed with this guitars play ability. Final thoughts... This is not just a beginner guitar, this is a solid platform you can grow with if you get a case and take care of it. I do recommend you get it checked out at a guitar shop for proper set up, but other than that, 5***** Stars!

This is really a 3-star guitar, but it gets an extra star just for being a Mustang. I think the more faithfully accurate neck radius feels and plays excellently. The single coil pickups have ‘that’ Nirvana clean sound when you get your amp settings right and obviously scream like banshees with high gain, but pro tip: if you’re buying a guitar with only single coils for a genre that uses a lot of distortion, you better want feedback and screeching as part of your soundscape. Anyway, it’s a beauty, it’s lightweight, but oh my god, does this thing have issues with the neck and nut when it’s stock. Everything was arrow straight, relief was good, and the bridge was actually set up to my (slightly high action) tastes for rhythm playing, but the nut was cut way too deep and the sides of this thing are razors. Almost every fret is jagged and some of the wood isn’t sanded well or is just sort of splintering from storage conditions. I’m not sure why I love my Mustang, since it’s cut the sides of my hands (both, if you’re wondering; tapping sucks) so much that they’re now covered in omnidirectional callouses, but this does feel like a $200 guitar. I’ve since taken an angle grinder and other assorted tools to this knife-disguised-as-an-instrument, rendering it much less likely to maim my girlfriend when she borrows it, but yeah, YMMV. My Bullet Mustang was perfect when I got it back in 2023, but the neck wasn’t as suited to my tastes.

Recently bought the Squire Debut Telecaster and this guitar did not have fret ends sticking out that needed dressing. You can tell this came from a music store (Steve’s) as it was set up decently and the sharp fret ends were removed. The Tele came straight from factory. Nice short scale guitar, the maple fretboard has very neat grain pattern to it, seems to be a one piece neck with the truss rod secured by fretboard glued on top. No skunk stripe on the back of the neck. Nice player may change the tuners to locking ones. I wanted a Duo Sonic but this Mustangs scratches that itch nicely.

Für den Preis vollkommen okay

It's is the perfect upgrade from my basic Stratacaster and bridge to Fender guitars. Low action, nice finish on neck and sound is good either plugged or unplugged.

Super guitare les micros sont convenables le manche est agréable et le jeu est facilité par le diapason plus court que sur strat . Je la recommande

Content de mon choix. Bonne guitare.
