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!
Take care, Larryz

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.

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!
Take care, Larryz

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...

probably direct into an interface...

 

Although Elliot Easton gets a great clean sound through the (dreaded) JCM 2000s.

specifically (blowing up that pic):

 

Boss TU2 (or TU3) tuner

Boss Compression/sustainer

Boss Distortion? (Orange, 4 knobs)

Electro Harmonix Nano Clone Chorus

Boss Delay (DD-something)

Electro Harmonix Nano Holy Grail Reverb

 

there's no shot of the other guitarist's pedals.
