Fantastic collection. How do you like the 12 string? I’m shocked how playable and just nice it feels. Neck is beautifully finished, flat radius but that’s needed, and barely more work than a six string to chord. A few tuning gremlins I will chase down when I have more time. Also the tuner buttons r...

My Squier CV Mustang had a very dry fretboard as well.

My Squier CV Silver sparkle jag was dry but has gotten better with oiling and playing.

My Gretsch has also has a Laurel fretboard but seems to better than my Fender guitars.

The color choices for these seem to be based on the Squier Classic Vibe Mustang FSRs that came out this year.

Of course, since they went back to rosewood, that might have not allowed for matching headstocks.

You are making miss my Musicmaster Project guitar that I traded away.

I think you sold me the body for that one too.

Since these are Vintage inspired, I wonder if they are not allowed to make exact copies of the originals. I don't mind the bigger stripe but it's definitely not vintage correct. I don't understand why they did matching headstock colors on Vintera I Jazzmasters, but couldn't be bothered to do matchin...

If I see any in the wild I will post some pics.

Mustang arm contours are not as dramatic as Jazzmaster or Jaguar.

My vintage parts mustang has a subtle arm contour.

The reflection on the forearm indicates it's curving. If it was slab, it wouldn't have that reflection at all.

If you watch the video, I think I see the forearm tapering as well.

That second picture gives me a bit of hope. The main reason I didn't buy either of the Squier CV Mustangs from CME was because they were slab bodies and the neck is too thin at the first fret. The Ben Gibbard Mustang had the forearm contour so I am not sure why they couldn't do it here. The body and...

Do they not have the forearm contours? I can't tell definitively from the photos but compared to the Vintera 1 Mustang photos they seem to have the forearm contours.

I love the Competition Mustangs but not sure why they don't have matching headstocks. They did matching headstocks for Vintera I Jazzmasters so not sure why they didn't here. I like that Fender did some Bass VI models as well. I don't hate the mapleboard Jags but its not my bag. Both the Jazzmasters...

The JM -Fat is definitely an accurate description.

I put those same Curtis Novak Pickups in my MIJ J Mascis Jazzmaster.

Phenomenal sounding pickups.

Easily my favorite sounding guitar.

I completely agree with you regarding the MBM Saltbooster. I have my MBM Saltbooster/Saltbreaker Dual Pedal on my pedalboard and the Saltbooster is always on. The Saltbooster just fattens up the tone and makes it come alive. I was going to get an MXR Micro amp but I think the Saltbooster does the jo...

If I’ve managed to do this right, they’re should be a picture of my pedalboard from the last time I tried to assemble one. Most of the time i just plug straight into my little Marshall MG10, which for being the cheapest combo they do, sounds bloody good for home use. The power supply i used to have...

I love the sparkles.

My pedalboard build keeps moving forward. I just added a used Strymon DIG v1 and Strymon Miniswitch to save one preset. My next pedal will hopefully be used Strymon Deco V1 with MiniSwitch. I read you can actually use a miniswitch to give the Deco tap tempo which could be interesting. http://live.st...

here's the first photo of it. 41_1.jpg here it is after fixing everything before paint. ye7cv87vsos41.jpg even the white / tort version looked cool. Squier really needs to make a fucking duo sonic with a toronado bridge like soon or at all period. Was the white stock or a refin? In America, we only...

I finally offloaded the CV Mustang and bought my Strymon Cloudburst. This pedal does not disappoint. From using the Flint, I realized I needed a larger Reverb. I have been playing everything from Room/Hall settings to full on Synth/Inception/Blade Runner Sounds. The form factor is also really cool a...

Beautiful guitar. Love the green/gold. I also love having the lower bout master volume. I find it much more functional than a lot of master volume knobs myself. Great score. Thanks. I love my Fender Offsets but I enjoyed trying something new. I am looking forward to trying that Master Volume knob. ...
