Fender Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang Review

[@phildale8451]

Hands down the best review you could ever watch on this guitar. I have exactly the same one and have been using it for the past year. It has to be the most versatile and yet underrated guitar there has ever been. There is an a screw to tighten on the tremolo to stop the trem arm falling out and it is possible to get them to stay in tune by adjusting the spring tension. Great review thanks.

[@theguitaristas]

@Phil Dale Thanks for comment that's much appreciated... and we have found that screw so thanks to you we may not lose the tremolo arm after all! - will pin this comment so that others can also benefit. Cheers!

Love how you call out the pickup selections and then play like a call and response. THis is great KZbin watching and listening. Can tell how much you enjoy playing that Mustang. Makes a person want to pick one up and now. And the color is superb.

[@thedrearybrain]

Extremely great guitar for the price. Excellent tones. Can get that crisp glassy tone, out of phase quacky tone, and also that smoother smokey tone. Takes distortion(especially on the bridge pick up) surprisingly well too. I just recommend turning the tone down a tad. Recommend using the tremelo bar just for "slight tremolo". HIGHLY recommend using 10 or 11 gauge strings. Preferably 11s but 10 is fine.

[@christopherpage9859]

Dave Alvin used a Mustang that looked just like that in the early days with The Blasters!

[@UncleChoppy]

Great review! Just to show how flexible the Mustang is, another player was John McLaughlin (later of the Mahavishnu Orchestra) who played one on the classic Miles Davis albums around '69-'71 so that includes Bitches Brew, Live Evil, On The Corner and, best of all for guitar, Tribute to Jack Johnson. (I'd always assumed it was some kind of Gibson as he used a Les Paul and the SG Doubleneck with Mahavishnu but I was, as usual, wrong.)

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Brendan!

[@LawGone1]

No way! Bitches is one of my favorite albums. Had no idea he was using a Fender, let alone a mustang.

[@marceloBAdARI]

1:55 This is not true: there’s a small screw below in the vibrato tailpiece then you can tight the whammy bar. 4:00 what a beautiful surprise! Nice demo and playing!

Todd Rundgren was very keen on these for a while. In my early days of electric guitaring start of the 1980s I mistook his mustang for a strat and bought a strat type to be like him. I only realised my mistake last year and bought one of this model (in sonic blue). Great sounding instrument; I love it. Sounds and feels very different to a strat. I am trying to set the trem up properly so I can achieve Todd's quite extreme use of it but that set-up is proving tricky despite some YT advice on the subject.

[@itaintmebabe714]

Rub a dryer sheet on the pickguard to get rid of the static. Worked for me

5:00 is reminiscent of Black Honey by Thrice. Makes sense because Dustin plays a short scale musicman if I’m not mistaken on that track.

Great review! That Cure cover needs chorusssss

[@theguitaristas]

Thanks Chris!

[@mojorisen74]

1:52 No they're not rubbish when they're set up properly! The tremelo on that Squier is not set up right. The tremelo arm is supposed to be parallel to the body and the tube is not supposed to be touching or that close to the plate. The bar doesn't just fall out, there's a set screw on the side that locks it in place. I think the biggest misconception about the Mustang is they don't stay in tune because of the Tremelo. Ask Todd Rundgren about it! He was a mad man with the vibrato on his Mustang and he could go a few songs without having to tune it using the trem regularly.

[@theguitaristas]

Yes I understand I was a bit naive when I made this so thanks for putting me right

[@olipas2775]

I think you underestimate the Tremolo on these....they are actually great and very stable if set up properly.

[@clappingjazzhands9408]

Sold me! I just unboxed a 60’s CV Jazzmaster (Lovin’ it) and will purchase a Mustang next.

[@theguitaristas]

[@kpingvin]

I got this for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I also have a problem with the tremolo systen. It's either falling out or it's too tight so it's in the way. I don't have the static though :) But all in all it's a very comfortable guitar. I changed the pickguard and the pickup covers to black and it looks very classy.

[@HypebeastJohn]

where did u get the new pickguard?

[@jeromemurphy2572]

Great sounds Collin. That does look fun.

[@lonerider92]

I own one of these, out of the box it's a good intermediate level guitar. Take the time to swap the trem plate out with a fender one and change the nut to a graphtech one with a proper set up and you got your self a damn good guitar that's gig worthy. If you're like me and hate buzz, put some lil 59's in them they sound like the stock pickups just no hum.

[@danieli.9252]

How bad is the hum with the stock pickups? I just bought a J. Mascis Jazzmaster and returned it because the noise was so bad. Different pickups, for sure, but since you mentioned it I wanted to ask.

[@AB-zm5ps]

is it a versatile guitar enough for a beginner ? i really want to buy one, but as a beginner i wonder if it's as versatile as a strat. I'd like to play 70s rock essentially, hard rock, and indie rock
