Fender Competition Mustang Electric Guitar Customer Review
i have a lot of guitars, and i buy a lot, but I will always be satisfied with this guitar
Sound
sounds good, but pickups do squeal a little bit- i routed the guitar and put a seymour duncan JB at the bridge
Features
no extra accessories came with it but i love every featureabout the guitar i like the vibrato tailpiece and having the toggle switches for the pickups to put the guitar in and out of phase I also like the short scale neck
Quality
It is made very well everything is perfect. I do keep a backup, but i dont need to aside from having one guitar tuned lower. Worst aspect is probably the selector switches, they sometimes(rarely) dont work well. It will last as long as i want it to as long as i take care of it.
Value
i thought it was a good price
Manufacturer Support
Ive never had to deal with them
The Wow Factor
It is beautiful- everything the chrome control plate, the chrome tailpiece, and the finish. I love the eay the dynamic vibrato works
Musical Style:
Rock
