Thanks for sharing! I love Duo Sonic!
You welcome
Great job! That was the best I've ever heard a Mustang sound. First time I've ever wanted one.
Really?? Nice✌️❤️
gorgeous flaming on the neck and absolutely immaculate playing play on player
Thank you ✌️❤️
Steeley Dan eat your heart out. That was a superb intro Jon. That’s a super looking and sounding guitar. The finish looks pristine. Little things like the Knobs, fretboard and the fit of the pickguard. Fantastic all round Jon 👍👍👍❤️😊
Tom Corr thank you Tom!! I’m just loving that guitar✌️❤️
Excellent playing that shows the possibilities of this guitar in the right hands! Thx for that and stay well ☮️
Thank you too brother!🤓
Hi Jonathan, I just bought one about a week ago and am loving it! I have small hands so for me it is super comfortable. Tried a squire 60's vibe out first but once I tried out the player fender there was no doubt in my mind which one I wanted. Just wish I could play like you
Thanks for sharing!✌💙
I think the 60’s one has gloss neck back finish, which makes it less smooth
unbelievable playing, amazing
Thank you ✌️❤️
That firemist gold finish is beautiful…throwback to Cadillacs of the 60’s..woah did I see some “flame” on that maple headstock?…the mustang shorter scale is nice right on you playing….great channel..😊pao fretboard is..ok
Thank you.. Hope you have subscribed!!✌️❤️
You make that guitar sou amazing.! Well played.!
Thank you✌♥
Another great one Jonathan. Thanks for bringing us back a few years and connecting it with the Mustang. I could feel the love you have for your first guitar, because it was your first and you owned it! Beautifully said!
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
From 2:52 I blew my brain, beautiful sound and playing.
Thank you!!✌🤓
Sir, you are a beast ! thanks for replying to my question about the Martin during your last live stream ! Peace and Bless up !
you take care!!✌♥
Love your demos Jonathan - So far I've already bought a Martin Dreadnought Jr. in large part based on your review and I think this one is next!
Nice!✌️❤️
Beautiful tone! Really enjoy listening to your playing. This Mustang appears to sing well in your hands. That '84 picture was excellent! I think the smile you have when handling this one reminds of that. I recently grabbed a Squier Duo-Sonic in Ice Blue Metalic, for the shape, bright memories of the era. The neck is heavy gloss, which is the only off-putting detail, everything else is very much smile inducing.
Keep playing with so much heart!
Thank you kindly!✌♥
Great playing, thank you for the review! I ordered one in Sonic Blue w/ a maple fretboard, can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow!
Awesome✌️❤️
Another very nice guitar.
The maple neck grain is very pretty, I really like the large headstock.
Your playing was tremendous again Jon with some lovely varieties of tone.
That old photo of you as a young pro was brilliant!
Thanks for the review.
Glad you liked the video!!✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Video Request, if you have time, since your a Strat Player, can you try to make a Bridge Pickup of a Stratocaster sound like a P90 Bridge Pickup, using the Amps EQ and Gain , EQ Pedal etc. Thank you. Awesome channel
Thanks to the big headstock, finally space for tuner
I have the Harley Benton ms60 with the stripes changed the pickguard and pickups and brought a nice chrome control plate like this one looks and plays great
✌🤓
Light weight, comfortable no nonsense guitar. What is not to like?
✌️❤️
I've always been interested in that Fender Lead 2 behind you. That's the color I would pick too.
we'll see....will probably review it next week ✌🤓
You play electric guitar very good and of all style of rock!
Thank you✌️❤️
Nice! That's the guitar I want to buy!!!
Go for it!✌💙
Lovely video Jonathan! My daughter got the Squier version in sparkling imperial blue last x-mas!!! Easy to play and very "loud"/resonant, too!!!
Very nice!🤓✌
Sooo happy I found this review Jonathan. I'm currently eyeing a Duo Sonic. All of s sudden the Mustang and Duo Sonic are all the rage. Both are so similar it's hard to decide ! I do love the smaller body and slightly shorter scale... Oh the dilemma... ! LOL
I totally understand ❤️
Great playing! You play with feeling!
Thank you✌️❤️
Such a nice guitar!! Great video!!
Thanks 😢❤️
Sweet guitar and fantastic playing!👍
Thank you !
If they did the gold one with P90's and a maple fretboard I'd have to have one. Cool guitar and the flamed neck in that one looks great.
Superb video Jonathan, I have never seen you do a bad one.
Thank you✌️❤️
Awesome video and thank you for answering.
Any time!✌♥
Wow you were really jamming there for a minute. Awesome as always. I think fender is trying to make decent guitars again with the player series. I got a player strat. Made a few upgrades and it’s amazing. Peace bro
josh simms thank you Josh ✌️❤️
Awesome Jon. 💓🎸.
Thanks!
Fastantic playing Jon....that Mustang sounded glorius, I have just bought the Duo Sonic HS (mexican), the humbucker and the single coil toghter (middle position) is a unique tone that I have not found on any other Fender guitar (strat HSS, tele performer, etc).... im falling deeply in love with my new Duo Sonic....
Nice✌️❤️
Mighty fine playing! Great sound!
Many thanks!!✌❤
I’m not normally a fan of the Mustang, but that’s a nice one. Thanks for review.
✌❤
Played strats for years,swthed to 24.75 scales a few years back, now finding it difficult to play 25.5 fender scales. I have been thinking about a mustang. Where better to hear what they sound like and get the low down than from Jon.
😆✌♥
I've wanted a Mustang for a while. In fact I have a HB one in my cart at Thomann lol. They didn't have one in stock at Sweetwater in the Player Series last month so I bought a Fender Player Telecaster instead.
I really want to get a fine Mustang...😝
I really like these I could see myself playing one for sure
✌️❤️
i love the mustang body shape. i have two fender mustang bass guitars. a '65 reissue mustang bass and a modern mustang bass. my wife still doesn't understand why i need to have two instruments that are almost identical.
i like this new series of mustang (and duo-sonic) guitars from fender, but the pickups have too much top end "bite" for me.
and you will discover that the pickups in that green fender lead ii behind you are also having that "bite".
Thanks for the headsup Hector! I figured that too...
Thanks for the demo. It doesn't seem like there's many videos of these player mustangs. It sounds great and I love the firemist gold. Can't decide between this or the blue with maple fretboard.
✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I ended up going with the sonic blue player mustang. It's a really great guitar :)
Charles Willis nice one Charlie ✌️❤️
Just :o that jam was awsome and now i maybe buy that guitar...it sounds so wonderfull and i think i would prefer the mustang to the strat after this xD
✌️❤️
Fantastic sounds! Great demo Jonathan, I believe I’ve never heard a Mustang sounding like that! I see the Lead II in the background, both are superb guitars but it looks like you enjoyed more the Mustang, am I right?
Yes!!✌️❤️
Sounds great and very distinguised played. I just bought a Fender player Jaguar. I would love to hear your opinion one day 👍🏻 Take Care and keep up your great work. You’re he best 👍🏻
Thank you✌️❤️
Love Mustangs but I prefer the vintage specs. Plus I don't like the colors the Fender Player series comes in, I miss the Torino Red one they had a year or two back.
Congratz to a great guitar man!
Fair enough!
Great playing. With the exception of the Telecaster, the Fender headstocks always look wonky to me.
Hahaha ✌️❤️
I am thinking of buying my first Fender, after 17 years playing guitar ... I do have a Squier CV 60s strat, so I wanted "something else" that was completely usefulness to justify the purchase.
I do not have a 24 scale, nor a Golden guitar and Mustangs have always seemed appealing to me. #seems appropiate
Go for it!✌♥
Oh yes!!😀😀
✌🤓
I wonder if you could one of these with a push/pull pot to get the out of phase tones a normal Mustang can get
Beautiful playing! Will definitely be getting one of these
Thank you❤️❤️
Some slick licks 😎😇
✌🤓
A brass nut painted the same colour as the body would really make this guitar, sounds sweet as it is though!
✌🤓
谢谢哦，你的mustang review很不错的
Thank you ✌️❤️
jon, you are awesome
Thank you Claude ✌️❤️
Maaaan....that solo put a smile on my face :-) thanks Jon.
You’re most welcome brother ✌️❤️
That song at the beginning is GORGEOUS! Can I download/buy it somewhere?
It’s just a jam ✌️❤️
Praise the sky that drilling 6 holes for this instrument has only increased its price by $ 500 compared to Squier! Squier's simplified bridge - without strings-through-body - enriches the sound with extremely disgusting extra tones and completely resets the value of a pretty decent woodwork!
Saying something about women and the mensure of a 24 "string is inappropriate if, thanks to the normal-sized Strat, inflammation of the joints has been enjoyed for more than 30 years.
✌💜
Thats a crazy beautiful flame on that player's mustang! Do they do that on all player's series?
Don’t know.. maybe not ✌️❤️
Ver'y good
Thank you ✌️❤️
where can i find the intro music? it sounds amazing
Check the description
look very nice but for 800 buck i cannot afford that 1
✌❤
Amazing sounds as usual with you Jonathan. What kind of amp and mic where you using for this???such nice sound
Read the description please🤓✌
I got a blue fender mustang Squire. It plays pretty good for how much it cost. 150 bucks. LOL I wanted to see what Mustang was like. I am showing my grandson how to play it. It had to be set up I did it myself not too bad of a player for what I got in it. I would recommend. For the price of the squire. I like my Harely Benton G3 better for the pice though. They are both just OK. I like my Firefly copy of the Gibson 335 its acaually called the firefly 338 its really really great player. I would definately reccomend to amatures and pros. I had to put a better bridge on it.
✌♥
Thank your for the review. How this Mustang compares to a Strat un terms if comfort (the Mustang does not have contour) and playability?
Best regards
I’ll a lifelong strat player... this is very different from a strat... you gotta approach it with no pre conceived notions.. and you will be pleasantly surprised what a nice guitar it really is ✌️❤️
every guitar sounds good when you play it, just stumbled onto your site tonight really enjoy your playin; what is that riff you playin at 6.50 so cool and can you recommend a guitar with a neck like a 94 japanese strat
Thank you.. I was just jamming.. no particular riffs in mind.✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud very cool Jonathon keep jamming and entertaining us
Awesome playing! Just wondering did you prefer this mustang or the player series Tele? Between those 2 for my next guitar. Thanks!
I like the Tele more✌️❤️
How loud is the coil buzz with these pu’s and is the guitar unbalanced because of the massive head?
The review was awesome, just like the playing👍🏻
1) not too bad
2) nope
Thank you ✌️❤️
Have you tried the American Performer Mustang? It has a trem that works much much better, and will stay in tune throughout a set. Pretty impressive, and much like this guitar, except it has a trem that is upgraded.
cool!! I didnt know that✌💜
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I have had originals, and they are terrible at staying in tune, but since I got this thing, I can't put it down. High output pickups compared to originals, but not Texas Special hot.
I would switch out the pickguard, otherwise it seems like a superb guitar for the money
✌💜
Jonathan, The music during the camera sweeps over the guitar at the beginning is really nice to solo over. Is this something you composed or is it a backing track somewhere that can be downloaded? thx
It’s a backing track from UA-cam..✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Got a link to share for this track? thx
@@joedesimone1444 Look for the backing tracks youtube provides for their content creators
Jonathan, it's about two years since you posted this video. Sorry I'm late, but I have a question -- I have seen from other websites that the Mustang neck itself -- not the scale length, just the neck itself -- is no shorter than a Stratocaster neck (in fact it's actually a bit longer). So the short scale length is due to the bridge being located so far forward. So the neck, the fingerboard, doesn't feel any shorter to you? Or does it? I am wondering about this.
The whole guitar is scaled down smaller than the strat...so the neck is a bit shorter. As far as playing is concerned..you dont actually feel it.✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks Jonathan.
What are the differences between mustang and lead II?
The Fender Mustang and the Fender Lead II are both electric guitars from Fender, but they have distinct differences in terms of design, features, and intended use. Here are some key differences:
### Fender Mustang:
1. **Origins and History**: Introduced in 1964 as a student model guitar.
2. **Body Shape and Size**: Compact, offset body shape, typically smaller than the Lead II.
3. **Scale Length**: Shorter 24-inch scale length.
4. **Pickups**: Usually comes with single-coil pickups, often in a distinctive slanted configuration.
5. **Controls**: Typically features dual on-off phase switches for each pickup and a master tone and volume control.
6. **Bridge**: Features a floating bridge with a dynamic vibrato system.
7. **Popular Use**: Favored in alternative, punk, and indie rock genres.
### Fender Lead II:
1. **Origins and History**: Introduced in 1979 as part of the Fender Lead series, aimed at providing a more affordable, versatile option.
2. **Body Shape and Size**: More traditional double-cutaway body shape, slightly larger than the Mustang.
3. **Scale Length**: Standard 25.5-inch scale length.
4. **Pickups**: Typically equipped with two single-coil pickups.
5. **Controls**: Features a three-position toggle switch for pickup selection, and a two-position toggle for phase switching, along with master volume and tone controls.
6. **Bridge**: Hardtail bridge (fixed bridge) without a tremolo system.
7. **Popular Use**: Known for its versatility, suitable for various music genres, including rock, pop, and blues.
Overall, the Mustang is often seen as a more niche, vintage-inspired instrument with unique tonal characteristics and a distinctive playing feel due to its shorter scale length and vibrato system. The Lead II, on the other hand, is designed to be a versatile, workhorse guitar with more traditional features and broader appeal.
thank you chatgpt
@@MrHapo77 there you go.. ChatGPT is your friend
Fantstic playing as always, your magic fingers make any guitar sound great.
As for the Mustang, it's not my choice from Fenders range, it sounds like it needs some warmth added to it's toppy sound.
There are better guitars to pick from these days, Dare i mention G&L?
Yes please mention G&L!!! lol..But I've always fancy Mustangs!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I can understand you wanting a Mustang, but this one must have a V6 engine, they sound far better with a V8
Lol✌️
Cheap price you forgot how old we are, we could have bought a new house for $10,000 a nice new car for $2,500. Apples for apples. lol
Mike Woike I know... sometimes I feel like it was another lifetime..
hi jonathan, this or duo sonic? tks
Can’t tell you.. I have not try the duo sonic yet✌️❤️
Do you find the Mustang to be neck heavy?
Not really.. but then again I wasn’t playing it standing up❤️😜
It has a plastic nut! I'm sorry it's synthetic bone!
✌️❤️
I just don't like pau ferro finger board. Had it on a Epiphone, and it just didn't feel right, got rid of it. Seems for that price, I could find a higher spec guitar for the same money, just look at Schecter.
what dont you like about Pau Ferro David?
The pau ferro on my Epiphone didn't feel right and the frets kept popping up. I oiled it well and reset the frets, several times. Finally, gave up. Something about the wood. Iam used to good rosewood or ebony and I like the wood polished down some, not rough.
David Eskelin oh!! That’s bad..
Very nice playing . You are very versatile , all different styles . I just watch a Johnny Winter video where he is playing a Mustang in 1969, sounds great , ua-cam.com/video/DQjRYX1Omvo/v-deo.html
Nice ✌️❤️
It is business, nothing else. This guitar is a kinda unnecessary product of life.
No Attila, in my experience those "unnecessary things" makes live for a human beeing! Whether those are shoes, handbags, motorcycles or guitars, everybody needs some unnecessary things to dream of. What preference doesn't matter, it is the dream itself that creates drive/motivation to go forward in live and don't stay still. If you have nothing to dream of you're dead! Think about your comment and i hope you understand what i mean. Stay well and keep care of you ☮️
Never heard of an unnecessary guitar. Lol. Unnecessary guitar is an oxymoron 😂
@@guenterbortz5957 u r right. Anyway I prefer the unnecessarinness of a strat or a tele. And way back of this one. But such guitar nowadays from a company's aspect cannot be else just business and PR (not PRS).
If u make this kind at home I say ok.
@@ElmanAuthement :)
