Squier Hit It Out of the Park with the Mustang

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017

I got a blemished one from Butler Music (shout out to them! Fast shipping and great packaging) and it is amazing. Out of the box it needed some minor items addressed (saddle screws and string height) but other than that it plays great. Very light and the humbuckers sound wonderful. I got this to tinker and mod but for now I'm leaving it as is. The blue sparkle is stunning and there isn't much bad I can say about the guitar. I have around 10 guitars (from low end to quality) and the thing about this one is it keeps drawing me into my music room to play it and to me that is a sign of a good guitar. For the price it's an unbelievable value. The first guitar I got was a $100 Stratocaster and this thing at $150 is light years ahead of that guitar. It would be perfect for a beginner but I as a seasoned player really fell in love with it too :)

The guitar is great, the packaging is terrible.

I got the first guitar and was not in good conditions, then order an replacement and Also had one imperfection, they seem to care little to non on how safe the box is for the instrument. Is been a nightmare and honestly dont plan on ordering a new replacement, im afraid is gonna be the same problem all over. I like the guitar, but shipping is gonna break it. 💔

Incredible Guitar - Incredible Price

I started noticing the amazing video reviews for this guitar on YouTube quite awhile ago. Jaded guitar techies who don't ever like anything would unbox with a sneer on their face, then start to play it and go "wow." I bought this for my teenage daughter's birthday as her first electric. The setup was great right out of the box. The scale and radius is perfect for her fingers, and the range of tone on the thing is flabbergasting. Solid, quality build. Unbelievable value at the price.

plays beautiful and the stock parts are actually really good

Do not let the price and the black bullet decals put you off, this is a solid guitar, plays beautiful and the stock parts are actually really good! I shipped it all the way out to India and the intonation out of the box was perfect! Great fretwork and the fretboard did not have those sharp edges one expects from cheap guitars. I play hardcore punk and thrash so the hardtail is a real boon, the tuning is extremely stable(an advantage over a normal mustang). I also have a fat strat with an SD SH4 in the bridge and a VM Jaguar which I routed for a SD Hot Rodded Humbucker set. It'll be fun modding this though it sounds really good stock!
Edit: this is a 24inch scale guitar, not 24.75

Good guitar, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017

This is a nice guitar, great sound, and a good way to try the 24" scale without spending big bucks, which is why I bought it. And I can now say I like the 24 scale, so there is probably a Fender Jaguar or Mustang in my future. I'm not usually a big fan of humbuckers, They have their place, but the sound is not really to my taste. I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound from this guitar's neck pickup, it had clarity and sparkle that I don't normally associate with a humbucker. I'm going to try a P90 in the neck position anyway, just to see what that sounds like, but I can certainly live with this just as it is. I guess the difference in sound is down to the shorter scale.
Now, the cons: this guitar arrived in unplayable condition, just like the last Squier I ordered a couple of months ago. The neck was bowed and the string height was way low, both conditions causing much fretting out. I adjusted both to correct spec, and then I had to set the intonation, as all strings were sharp at the 12th fret. It's a shame that the customer has to finish the job that the factory should have done. In contrast, the last Epiphone I bought arrived pretty well set up, and was almost in tune! Squier really needs to improve on this if they want repeat customers.
So if you buy this be prepared to make adjustments or pay someone to do it for you.

Ready to go out of the box. Just tune it and play.

some reviews state that this is a good guitar for the money. I think it is a good guitar. Period. It was set up beautifully from the manufacturer and absolutely ready to go out of the box. Intonation was perfect. The neck is smooth and the frets need no work whatsoever. Just tune it and play.

Just buy it

I love this guitar! With the price being a fraction of what a true Fender Mustang costs I wasn't expecting too much. It played great right out of the box. The pickups are amazing! My fretboard was really dry when I received it, but I gave it a rubdown with some fretboard oil and it rejuvenated it. I have no complaints about this guitar.

Fantastic guitar for any price

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

Fantastic guitar for any price. The nut was cut to the right (low) height for me. I changed to my preferred string gauge, and I used my nut files to open the slots. The action at the bridge was lowered. This was a very minimal set-up for such an inexpensive guitar.

Stays in tune, neck is straight, nicely prepped frets, and no fret sprout.

I am so happy with this guitar, that I am very tempted to get another one!

Great guitar for beginners (especially for the price).

If you are just getting started learning electric guitar, this would be a great entry-level electric guitar for you.

If there is something that I did not like with the guitar that I received it is that, even when the strings are tuned correctly, the notes sound a little distorted when playing. It was not a whole lot, neither did it interrupt the performance, but it was enough to notice.

Setup required.

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2018

This guitar takes a little work to get it up to snuff but, once it's done it'll make a fine beginner's instrument. A good setup is key and a little fret polishing really makes the difference in feel. This guitar really shines if you plan to make modifications to it. New tuners, pots, pickups, shielding, and a bone nut and you have something that is actually pretty special. I'm in the process of upgrading mine and every little improvement makes me like the little bugger even more. If you can do the work yourself, this is a no brainer, 100% recommended!
