You know if Fender actually released a line of guitars with extra light weight being the main intent I'd probably consider buying one of them.mbene085 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 11:41 pmAsh can get really, really heavy. There's a decreased supply of lightweight swamp ash thanks to the emerald ash borer, so this is probably a way for them to use the heavy hunks of ash that made 1970's Fenders backbreakers, without turning people off with crazy heavy guitars.
At this stage I'll probably end up grabbing a Pawlonia Jagar body from Guitar Mill and paint it sparkly-purpley-pink-something.

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
Well it's officially out now. It was announced to retail for €699 which I thought was fair.
Now I see it everywhere for €999 to up to almost €1200.
WTF?!

Wow, that's pretty bad! Even at $1,100.00 US I feel like it's a tall order with that IKEA cutting board finish.

Fender has been steadily increasing prices on all models all year long. Probably has to do with accelerated COVID demand.

Anyone else think the headstock looks weird? Or is it just the logo placement?

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
It looks like it's a slightly different shade of yellow than the fretboard and even a bit darker than the body. I wonder if it's a "matching headstock"? It definitely doesn't look like it's clear finished like the body does.

I cannot believe this thing is $1100. I'll buy it because I love Ben Gibbard but wow, that's a pricey MIM 'Stang that only comes in one "color"

This feels like a good one to grab in the used market and sit on for a decade.

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
Yeah the Sonic Youth Signatures and Mascis and Troy Van Leeuwen have all been really cool but a Belinda Butcher Mustang would be really cool and paid nicely with a Kevin Shields Jazzmaster - do them both in thick metallic red flake and have anodized gold guards ughhhhh that’d be so coolUnicorn Warrior wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:39 amStill waiting for the Bilinda Stang..this mustang is cool, but man
