    That jam at the end was the shit! I've got one of these in Sherwood Green. Most comfortable neck I've ever played.

    I didn't know they changed from 12 in radius to 9.5 very interesting.Just bought one in black on Reverb and mine appears to have the later headstock.I was prepared for it to be a flatter 12 in but prefer 9,5 so could be very happy when it arrives tomorrow ,Cheers

    Bought the exact one for £80, new condition. However, it was fitted with 250k pots, humbuckers were too muddy. Replaced with Alpha 500k ones with 0.022 sprague capacitor, the difference. No need to change the humbuckers. It sounds better than my MIM telecaster, believe it or not. I put in a Truetone output jack also, better lead grip. This guitar has great potential. Bought as a cheap spare, but a keeper for sure

    Good job. Bullet Mustangs are very cool guitars similar to the Epiphone Specials that have three way switching, two humbuckers with one volume and one tone control.

    I bought one of these as a beater guitar for 150 bucks. It's the green one with the white stripe which was only available in Europe for some reason. I fully expected it to be junk and maybe I'd mod it or something, but it's turned out to be one of my favorite guitars. I play it all the time and love it and haven't even done anything to it except sand down the fret edges. It's seriously the best bang for the buck low end guitar I think I've ever owned. I especially love how thin and light it is. It's like an SG but without the annoying neck dive.

    Love the colour of that particular bullet mustang. Toying between this and the Hartley Benton MS60. Wish the bullet had single coils. And the Harley Benton has the trem, but doesn't look quite as nice. Decisions, decisions!! 🤔🤔

    Hey! Man, u have a squier mustang hh, u had a squier affinity jazzmaster hh. Could you tell me about the difference in feeling for the left hand between them? Because I have a mustang and I'm thinking about switching to jazzmaster, because I believe the neck on jazzmaster is thicker and more suitable for my big hands.

  • @agentofkariosd1116
    @agentofkariosd1116 2 роки тому +1

    I have a newer mustang bullet with a 12" radius but I would prefer a 9.5. I'm assuming switching necks wouldn't be a problem if the plates and holes are the same.

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  2 роки тому +2

      Seems they are chopping and changing the radius, should be ok swapping over or easy enough to plug the holes and drill them again

    I really dig the player series player 90 mustrang with 2 p90's..If I got the p90s and the pickguard how would this thing do for a budget version? Is it worth the money? Or should I just save for the real thing? Also, I thought a mustang would make a great long practice session guitar for jazz considering all the chord acrobats and stretching.

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  Рік тому

      The neck and body are a lot thinner than the Fender P90 Mustang, I've covered the P90 fender on this channel before and must admit they are very nice to play and sound so good. Yes Mustangs are good for stretchy chords 💯

      On my jag stang I wired the harness straight into the jack , and the result is an almost active sound. Very alive .. the slight touch rings out loud, pronounced and sustained... its interesting , you should try it one day when you just messing around
