Larryz Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Mustang <--- here's the info on them. 1965-1982 reissued in 1990. My old High School buddy had one in our band circa in 1965. He had the same exact color etc. in your picture Chewis (i.e. white with tortoise shell pick guard). Great sounding and easy to play with some cool phase switching and stayed in tune during wammy bar use due to the rounded bridge saddles...many guys with Jaguars and Jazzmasters replace their bridges with the Mustang bridge for that reason...the Mustang is small and light compared to it's bigger brothers but it packs a wallop!

p90jr Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think Fender makes Mustangs again, in Asia... the other guitarist in that vid has a Fano Alt De Facto JM6, a wonderful boutique-made and pricey guitar... http://www.fanoguitars.com/models/alt-de-facto-jm6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p90jr Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I don't think there's much in the way of effects on that... maybe a touch of chorus and a bit of compression on the guitar tracks... applied in Pro-Tools, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Psmith Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I agree. It sounds like studio processing rather than stompbox effects. Compression & Chorus with the single-coil pickups would give it that 'jangle-pop' sound. IMHO, there's no way those guys were playing through the Marshalls behind them. Sounded more like Roland JC's.

Larryz Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just watched the video and that's one BBQ party I would like to be at! Girls are beautiful with just the right attire. Back to guitars...that Jazzmaster with the Bigsby and different head stock may not be a Jazzmaster, but it's cool...oh, and the song was OK too!

Bluesape Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Canadian blues great Morgan Davis plays an old Mustang as his main axe. He has really small hands, and it suits him well. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Adrian Belew put a lot of miles on a pair of heavily modified Mustangs; the paint-jobs were the least of the changes made to these two axes... ! What appear at a glance to be screw-heads near either side of the bridge-pickup, are actually touch-sensitive switches for certain electronic effects; possibly heavy pitch-vibrato, if I recall correctly... __. http://www.vintageguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2241/ADRIANBELEW160X212.jpg ___________ http://www.guitarflashback.com/backissues/guitarplayer/8401gp.JPG __. http://a4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/39/ce24e4fe50f84370824bb13a88e9bf54/l.jpg __.

Larryz Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Need a roadmap to operate that baby...looks like the only thing left of a Mustang is the body shape. Very cool though Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p90jr Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I loved Belew's Lone Rhino and Twang Bar King records as a lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded more like Roland JC's. probably direct into an interface... Although Elliot Easton gets a great clean sound through the (dreaded) JCM 2000s.
