Vintage 1966 Fender Mustang Review 

always love hearing people talk about their old well-loved guitar like it's an old friend. you lifted my spirits a lot with this today.

I usually hate it when people talk a lot on gear demos, but you're like the Bob Ross of guitar.

Love how this guitar sounds and looks. Please never ever repaint it. It´s indeed perfect now.

It's perfect now. Indeed.

I have a 1966 mustang but its a car

Ended up buying a vintage mustang in part because of this video. 1970 Competition Blue with a matching headstock. Thank you for your honesty, I enjoy your videos a lot.

Thanks for your quick answer, Eric!!! I admire your work a lot... keep going!!!

I want to thank you for this video, bc of it I built a parts Mustang from a 64 body and a 65 neck. It’s become my favorite guitar, and I can’t believe it took me so long to try one.

The back looks great.

Awesome! Love this guitar, Eric. I had the blue Cobain Mustang for a bit and it was great. I got a Jaguar recently so I'm getting accustomed to the short scale again. Hoping it wears and plays as well as this!

I’m thinking of buying a vintage 60’s mustang, and had to come back and watch this again. Thanks for the rundown, and also I do love the way it looks with the black stripped off. Nicely done.

Just put my grandad’s 1972 mustang in the shop. Nice hearing your thoughts as someone who’s had a love for the guitar a long time. Thanks for sharing

That's a very sweet presentation of your guitar, so thanks. I own a Mustang Modern Player I bought when I was on the verge of giving up guitar due to the physical demands of learning an instrument. The MP's fantastic neck profile and short-scale length reaffirmed my desire to take on guitar on its own terms. The body on my guitar is pine, it's heavy, and the neck profile has more chunk than on any other of my newly bought guitars. Thus, the sustain is great! And with P-90 pickups there's no dearth of output or requisite power. It's all there. BTW, you might enjoy Fender pure nickel strings. They're quite long-lasting and also play real well. I'm now trying Scalar's pure nickel, they're a real boutique formulation and manufacture and extremely well reviewed. Just FYI. Thank you, again.

Nice overview. I have a white (now cream) '65, completely stock. My fav rhythm electric guitar. I mostly use the dual pickup settings, both in & out of phase. Also sounds killer into lotsa fuzz pedals followed by a Klon (or Klone) set clean. (The Klon fattens up the mids.)

Great guitar, theres something about the sound of a Mustang I love. Nice video.

It's a beautiful guitar and shows how connected U r with it Eric 🙂

I was lucky enough to get a refinished 1968 mustang in daphne blue for my 21st birthday this year. I love it. It's very slinky and bouncy sounding and as you said it doesn't sustain but my big muff makes up for that. I'm glad someone else appreciates them for what they are. By the way I'm 6'4 but still manage to play it rather comfortably.

What a cool tone combined with that Silvertone!

Can I just say, ERIC HAUGEN! Love your vids and that beautiful mustang! Great man.
