First NGD in a long time. GC gave me the MF sdotd .. $129.00 on a new Squier Bullet Mustang 👍🇺🇸💕

[fattboyzz]

Got it home an tuned it to play ,but it needs a setup.




Went in GC to look at these and they were $199. Looked on MF and they were $169. Hit SDOTD button and BAMM! . $129 👍😁😍

I asked the guy at the counter could he match it right then. He scanned it and it worked !

You’re going to love it!

The bullet mustang will forever be squiers best budget guitar by a mile. So much guitar for so little!

Happy NGD! It’ll chug!!

I love some of the new colors on the Sonic Mustangs, but I will never buy one. This Bullet Mustang has a forearm contour and belly cut making the body better than the Sonics, the Classic Vibes, and all but a few of the MIJ, MIA, Custom Shop and MIM Fender Mustangs. This is everything that was great about the Competition-era Mustangs without the parts that were wrong. If Fender had a clue, they'd make a Contemporary or Classic Vibe 70s version based on this body.

And it is practically a crime to only pay $129 for a new Bullet Mustang (I paid $10 more last year at Adorama). Congrats on your purchase.

SWEET!!!!!!!! They have nice Contours and PU's are fine. I want to show you one of your Ex's. 2022 Affinity Body from you that I had my way with! USPS gave it a few nice dings, so I took a sanding Pad to satinize it and added some glitter. Gold hardware and my 2021 Bullet Neck. Epi P-90 and a custom A5/A2 in Bridge. Sweet Guitar. Enjoy that Mustang! 😍 🎸

These Mustang pickups are probably the nicest sounding cheap humbuckers Ive ever had. I moved them up close to the strings and it didn't change much. I moved them down close to the guard and they cleared up to a nice chimey bell tone.
Throw gain, or a distortion pedal at them and they rock quite well. I did a setup on it last night and got the intonation right this morning.

That Tele looks 👍👍👍.
Whats in the Bridge ?

I digg my P90 in my Tele. Its in the bridge.
The neck has a Jackson/Belcat humbucker I swapped out the mag in. From a ceramic to an A5.


^^^^^ This is a true frankentele
P90 and harness are cigar box stuff from CBGitty. Neck is from a member here.
Tuners too.
$23 pine ebay body ,that came with the old record pickguard.
Bridge is a cutdown Tele with Squier Deluxe saddles.
Blue an red are crayon. I let my grandkids do it 🤣🤣

Since those 2022's have the 4 screw Bridge mount, I put on Gold Wilkinson with a Prima USA Custom A5/A2 Tele Bridge. Love the Epi A2 P-90 more and nice tone in middle on switch.

They had the Sonic on the floor and it is the one I played and took to the counter. He went to the back to get me a new one and came out with the Bullet. It was close to in tune ,so I plugged it in to check it.
All good 👍.
I sat down next to the lessons booth and strummed some chords. It is very resonant unplugged.
Even though the body is thin, the belly and arm contour are 👍👍.
The frets are only slightly rough on the edge and need a good polishing, but I will take care of that at the first string change.

Nice score! HNGD.

I think my mini Jazzmaster has same PU's but with white tops. I bought loaded Body from Franklin for less than $50 and put 24" scale neck in it. Love the HB's and size! 😍 🎸
