I figured out really fast when learning to play years ago to always try and actually play enough to get a feel for every build of guitar I could. So many people say oh I can’t do single cuts or short scale lengths having never even tried one. I quickly found I really enjoyed playing some very strange things and had no problem going from a Les Paul to a Flying V to a mustang to a PRS. Only thing I really couldn’t get used to was an SG.
Cool video man. They started making the Competition Mustangs in 69. Kurt Cobain's "Teen Spirit" Competition Blue Mustang was a 69. I love the orange Comp-Stangs myself.
I'd like to buy a squier CV mustang, but I fear the endless work to make it sound and function correctly. pick ups seems fine, but all the rest like the nut, circutry and the tremolo + bridge needs a liuther that have confidence with this particular guitar. You can't bring a mustang to a liuther that have never worked before on one. It's full of quirky stuff that you need to know how to work on it properly.
Mustangs are easy to set up and work on when you figure out how they work, but that being said after my experience with classic vibe offsets I would never touch another one. Just way too many deficient parts or not to correct spec parts.
@@AudiomoMusic I have a black squier toronado and it looks great, sounds good, feels meh and the narrow tall frets make every chord the detuned festival of drunk notes. plus the first and last string just slide and bend outside the neck if you not play carefully. I need a set up, very much.
The new cv mustangs (2021 and later) are close to perfect. Nothing to worry about. if you haven’t touched these super-exclusive fender originals, you wouldn’t aspire for a difference that would make you want to stop playing your CV. CV’s are great, all retailers will tell you that.
@@jambibaub8753 Agreed. I have a owned MIJ, MIM, MIC Fenders and Squiers and my Squier CV mustang did take some set-up when I bought it, but I love it. The laurel fretboard is very dry but a few applications of lemon oil have fixed that right up. Frets were fine (similar to MIM Fender quality) and i shimmed the neck. The bridge... well, all I can say is it is frustrating to figure out but the rewards when you finally do! Honestly, I would buy another of these over the Vintera because I know the quality of the Mexico factory isn't massively different from these. people get too caught up in brands, "tuning stability", etc. These do stay in tune if you set them up right - and I'm no guitar tech :)
Oh, they're fine. They are great. I've had Japanese, same MG65 as in this video, color and all I mean, and it was a great. Wasn't any different in QC or functionality. Sounded different but they have different pickups. The CV are great and I haven't found a Fender yet, regardless of country of origin, that is actually worth the price difference over a Classic Vibe.

You have good taste, my Mustang now is a 2021 Orange Comp-stang... it's by far my favorite of all my offset guitars.
@@AudiomoMusic Thanks man, I'm really fond of the short scale.

So he loves the guitar, got it for a steal, but would not buy it again?
It was a sentimental thing, I’ve bought several non Daphne blue mustangs since.
Are you sure color coordination or playing?
