    IMHO
    Neck: Warm Lead
    In Phase: arpeggios
    Out Phase: strumming (due to less volume)
    Bridge: Lead that cut through the mix.
    Since I think I'll use as a 3 way slide I need to freeze a slide. So the options are:
    Neck, In phase, out phase OR
    Bridge, In phase, out phase.
    I think this is the best way to use the complicated mustang switching system.

    Thanks for the great video. I had a question: I was given a used Squier mustang as a gift recently. I noticed that when the picks are In phase there is absolutely zero noise in the amp, while for all other configurations there is some noise that I can hear when not playing. Does this make sense or do I have a problem? The noise is not too much and is heard on high volume, but still it is not absolute zero. Thanks a lot!

    I noticed that the switches on your guitar seem much more easier to move than on my 60s Classic Vibe Mustang, which are way too stiff comparatively. Yours seem to just "Glide" effortlessly into place where mine require a great (ridiculous) effort to change - making fast pickup switching while playing very difficult to do. Do you have/know of/can make a video that shows us how to effectively loosen up/lubricate these switches so as to make them more effective ? Thank You & for this great video.

    Great demonstration of the pickup switches on the Fender Mustang. The Fender Mustang was my first electric guitar in 1968, along with a Fender Vibro Champ amp. The Mustang switches offered out of phase pickup sounds early on.

      The Guitar Manifesto nice explorer type. Sold mine on as not a big fan of Floyd’s. I’m hoping to trade my GoPro for a Peavey raptor with a burstbucker in the bridge, after the lockdown, very much the type of guitar you feature a lot. Should be great for some Kurt tones hopefully.

    Doing some mods to a strat copy I've got, thinking about putting some mustang switches in to replace the 5-way switch. Got a tele neck pickup in the neck and a humbucker in the middle, will the switches and phasing still work for those?

      @@bora-xo4qd the mustang switches were way too challenging logistically to add 3, not good at wiring lmao.
      Did the tele neck pickup and middle humbucker though, love the humbucker in the middle (although O used one from an Epiphone so its a little muddy), but didn't gel too much with the tele neck so went for a stacked single coil instead.
      Rn in the bridge position is a very microphonic rail humbucker that's in desperate need of replacing, but rn I don't have the time to change it so that strat's been relegated to my backup guitar.
