My 1966 Fender Mustang 

As soon as my boy whipped out All Apologies I was hyped

i love fender mustangs .. i have had a 66 from when i was 19 (1970) .. been 50 years with me now x

Lucky man. I wish I had born in the 80s so I could've taken advantage of pre internet vintage prices....

Dude this mustang sounds so amazing. What the hell... I mean I love Mustangs, they have their own sound going on and I love it but yours sounds absolutely amazing. You’re so lucky, don’t ever let that one go.

This was my first electric guitar. I played it through a Fender Bassman 2-Channel 50-Watt 2x12" Piggyback Guitar Amp 1964 - 1966. What sounds! Wish I had kept that rig. Great to see this nice vid! Love your lessons too! You're a great teacher!

I bought a Squier Bullet FSR Mustang last month and i think they made a mistake at the factory. It has sustain for days. Even unplugged it's really loud and resonant. It just sounds way too good for 150 dollars. There are several qa issues with it such as sharp fret ends and a finish bubble on the back, but it sounds amazing. Especially the dual humbucker setup. It's fat sounding. And twangy when you want it. It's like a sleeper metal guitar and a sleeper country guitar at the same time.

Really takes me back when I first saw Johnny Winter use one of these during his 1966 era. Thank you for the video!

Beautiful Mustang. Back in January I built a Jazzmaster with 2 P90's and I love it. My "Go To" guitar.

man this dude's playing is just great

Its all in that Bridge and tremelo design and sound. Fantastic tone. You can never have too much natural treble response. Makes the tone knob really versatile and the neck PUP more usable.

Adrian ... you are a really good teacher, and delight to watch. Thank you

I'm an oldster, age 70. I remember around 1968, I and some friends dropped in on another guy who played guitar. I recall sitting on his bed in his room and lying on the bed was a new copy of Cream's "Disraeli Gears" and a red Fender Mustang. I was envious as I couldn't afford a Mustang.

I’m planning to get a Mustang 90 in a while, I’m in complete love with these beauties.

Perfect demonstration of guiding light! 👍🏻

Your Mustang sounds amazing.

That's a rare gem Adrian, just like you :)

Thank you for educating me on the Mustang. Very cool!

Excellent series so far, can't wait to hear about the rest of your collection. When you've gone through all of your guitars you can start dissecting the work of some of your favourite guitarists.... maybe?

Thank you for sharing - The perfect way to review a guitar.

I bought a new Mustang about a year ago and I love it.

Have you ever thought about starting another RU-vid channel devoted to demoing pedals? I like that you aren't afraid to explore the more extreme sounds while maintaining a sense of musicianship.

Props for the camera work! Unique and very appropriate :)

I just bought one! Original from 1966, damn they play great!

Great review. Thanks for posting.

Nice filming and room set up looks ace

I grew up with a red Mustang. Bought it in 1975 at a pawn shop for $75. Oh the memories!

Love it, great player Adrian great channel as well 👍

god i love this shape

I have the same one. Same year and same color. I really like the neck tone. You're right; if you experiment with pedals, you can get some great tones out of these.

Not sure how long it's been in the picture but very glad to see you with an AC30! The AC30C2 is one of my most favorite amps, is my #1 amp for shows, and has sent all of my vintage blackface and brownface Fenders packing. It's bested many boutique amps, at least for me and my tonal desires, including my Z-Wreck that is long-gone due to this box of chime. In fact, I even prefer the AC30C2 over my 1964 AC30TB! Even better than the real thing, imho! My '91 "Vintage" model AC30TB is the only amp that tops it, and only by a hair. They sound nearly identical.

I love the headstocks on Mustangs, they remind me of moose antlers

like your teaching style

Finally someone who explained this guitar to a tee without all the mess

Heavenly sound!!!

Look into getting a Mosrite. I have a vintage Mark V 1965 model and a Japanese Mark 1 copy called a Mosrite Avenger by Firstman from about 1970. Some people don’t like them because pickups are super hot. You may like them.

Very nice playing and nice sounds. I was born in 66

Very Nice Guitar. Congratulations

Beatiful guitar and video 😉

Well now I need a Mustang.

Those were killer tones

What a beauty of a guitar.....✌🏻

lovely video

The 24 inch scale means a stretch between frets 1 - 5 (f to a) is about 8mm less than on a 25.5 inch guitar. I can play for much longer and not get hand pain. Strings are looser, so a wholetone bend on the g string at 12th fret is 15% less force (using 009-042). I'm using a much cheaper squier bullet mustang. It has humbuckers, belly cut, arm chamfer, no tremolo.

I like this guy's tremolo style... some people do deeper and faster tempo "tremolo" stuff, but I like the shallower undulations like this guy did. It's a hypnotizing effect, and it's beautiful... I bought a used Vintera 60's Mustang, and it's on it's way; however, guy lost the trem...

GREAT JOB on All Apologies. BTW Jimi played a Mustang for the recording of Axis Bold As Love. 💕🎵 That guitar is a keeper. 👍☮️🌞🎸

There's a 77 Mustang on sale in Dublin for around €1k ... sounds about right!

So I was just browsing your channel to see your stuff, and I noticed in this vid.. I have the exact same f'ing little cat that moves it's paw when powered by sunlight (the one that sits atop your amp) lol :)))) So I subbed :D

Hey Adrian, great stuff. Wondering what you think of the Fender Duo-sonic. Looks similar to the mustang short scale neck, single coil pickups etc. Love your video of Shot by Both Sides btw. Always wanted to see the solo broken down, thanks.

A guiding light guitar lesson would be amazing. After the solo its so hard to tab Richard and Tom's playing.

i have a 1965 in daphne blue

The tone at 7:08 is beautiful. Lovely guitar!

I've got a 1969 Mustang in that same color but my pickups and pick guard are different. I've also put a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the neck position

Seems to have a warm tone but lively not sure what pedals or amp but it sounds really good

I also have a Mustang. The most beautiful guitar ever made.

Nice one.those are great guitars and not flashy.aand it has that jazzmaster trem😉

I'm keen to see the Jazzmaster.

I love my ‘66 Mustang.

Great vid man :)

Nice guitar mate

Nice to see you playing some nirvana ;)

Hey man…cool vibe, so I subscribed.

What do you think of the modern ones? Than x

If my jag sounded more like a strat id pick the jag hands down along with the switching could be simpler in the old ones.

Adrian, have you picked out any songs that you will use the Mustang to create lessons with? Perhaps some of the songs in this demo.

Fantastic guitar mate; play it in good health.

Guiding light guitar lesson please!

hello man, gorgeous mustang, I have the same, vintage 66 but in custom refinish paint, a blend of sonic blue and Daphne blue, What is your drive sound ? just amp drive or pedal ? and what kind of pedal ? thanks

Johnny Winter played Mustangs for most of his early career as far as electric goes. Most old videos you will find playing Fender Mustang like the one your playing and the same color. I want one and there are not a lot out there right now aside of a bunch of money for a vintage Fender like yours and that is out of the question. I already have my jewel in the case. It's not Fender or Gibson either and it has gone up value by at least 500% since I bought in new in 1980. Served me well when I was active but that guitar will never see a bar room again. Not a dirty bar anyway. I paid 1100 for it and it's hitting 5 digits today and they are not made anymore like a 1966 Fender Mustang. Fender is selling theri CV models from their website at 100 less than their retailers are and their retailers have no stock anymore. I;m going to grab one.

I love mine, better than the strat in my mind!

I have the same guitar, same color and all.

What kind of effects was that during the parts at 4 mins. Was it all a wah? It sounds insane

What’s the first song he is playing? Reminds me of Can’t find my way home, but I don’t think that’s it

Dope. Mines from 75

Thiers a one for sale for £1200 near me, has got noiseless pups fitted and rewired to speck,I'm not Shure if its a steal or a deal,I would like your input if your interested man,sounds fantastic.

Would be interested to know what the riff is at 1.05-ish, feels like I should know it. Loving the tone from that Mustang. I better start saving now for one.

The guy in Stereo lab uses one. It's probably the choice of rockers that feel like outsiders.

Sometimes you make me so jealous, but it's because I love you.

I was thinking of buying a Jazzmaster with some money I inherited. Thing is, I already own a Strat and a Tele. Now clearly there are Strat tones the Tele cannot reach and vice versa. Is the Jazzmaster singular enough to justify the cost, or can I more or less approximate it with the Fenders I have already?

Original ? Great playing as usual. Peace.

MY MIND WAS BLOWN WITH THE SAVAGES LIVE IN SYDNEY THERE GUITARIST ONE AND ONLY AXE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The homie lives

Really cool. What effects are you using?

What’s that pedal at 4.21 it’s sounds wicked

Ive been playing my jag for so long sometimes as i get older The strat im makeing seems a bit long to make my 7th chords with.mabe i should have put on a 24 scale neck on it instead of the 25.5

I've had a few Japanese Reissue Mustangs. They're pretty amazing and unique guitars, if you figure out how to adjust the floating bridge and the tremolo system properly. I liked to keep mine stock. Tried the Cobain-mod once and put a JB-Junior humbucker in the brige position, which sounded just awful.

Good MUSTANG review!!! The Fender review (of their own guitar...) video kept using the "FENDER" effects. Well, you effected out a little too, but not too much... IMHO

Any tips on managing the hum from these single coils? Are you using a noise gate?

Beautiful guitar, Adrian! But you were a bit remiss in not identifying the riff you played, "Guiding Light" by the massively influential (and criminally overlooked) guitar band Television. How about a lesson for Messrs. Verlaine and Lloyd? You probably don't have an hour and 20 minutes to go over "Marquee Moon", so how about "See No Evil" or Friction"? You're the best!! Learned a few Joy Division and Happy Mondays songs thanks to you!!! (And would love something off of first Lloyd Cole and the Commotions album too, 'cause I'm a greedy bugger. 🙃 Gratefully, Peter in Saunderstown

what are the pedals you are using around 4:20? sounds really interesting, can't imagine wth it is tho

Would you recommend a fender player mustang, i usually like playing grunge & 90s rock, but any rock n roll really, I'm coming from a Epiphone special 2 my budget is close to a $1000 Canadian dollars

Hi! Great videos and Mustang sound, could you give me some tips to keep the mustang in tune? When I do bending, it gets out of tune or when I move backwards the tremolo arm does not turn the famous cigar all the way back.thanks!

What's the effect at 4:12

What was the name of your old band that your talking about here?

That thing is tooo nice I want that exact one

really Nice, may i ask What amp u use in videos

Had a 70's Mustang in the 80's, still miss it as nothing sounds quite like a Mustang?

Looking at an original daphne blue 66 myself. Amazing guitar. Pretty expensive these days. But nowhere near a 66 strat all original.

looking forward to the vox

Hi i got a mustang..and it dont intonate properly...there is no room left on the saddles as well.. any ideas...i cant believe it can be sold like that...any help would be appreciated thanks

Hello Adrian. We don’t see this guitar anymore. I’m looking to have only one guitar and I thought this might be the one. Did you sell it?
