General
Nearly all guitarists alter something on their guitar, be it different pickups, a new pickguard or a complete respray in a special colour. Squier's Vintage Modified series responds to this urge for customising with their modified versions of famous classic Fender models. This light-blue short-scale electric guitar with its moderately alternative shape is Squier's version of the '60s Fender Mustang. As far as its looks go, it accurately resembles the original but the modified aspect is that it has a set of full-throated Duncan Designed pickups and a relatively flat 9.5-inch fretboard radius to enable lower string action and trouble-free bends. Just like the Vintage White version, this Sonic Blue edition has a red tortoise pickguard and white pickup covers.
Vintage Modified Mustang Sonic Blue: authentic design
The Mustang is characterised by its smaller body and shorter (24-inch) scale length. In other words: the neck is a few inches shorter than that of a Strat or Tele, for instance. This makes the Mustang the ideal instrument for guitarists with smaller hands. Because of its fierce, clear sound and unconventional asymmetric shape this guitar quickly gained popularity in the surf scene. Nowadays, the Mustang is a common sight in alternative rock bands. Like the original, the Squier Vintage Modified Mustang is equipped with a floating bridge and the unique Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece to create subtle vibrato effects. Its vintage-tinted neck is equipped with a 22-fret laurel fretboard with light-brown, vintage-style clay dot position markers. Other authentic details include the chrome-plated machine heads with white pegheads and a vintage-accurate seam between the pickguard and metal potentiometer cover.
Unique pickup configuration with phase-out option
Compared to most traditional guitars, switching between the two pickups is a little different on the Mustang as each pickup has its own three-position slider switch that is off in middle position and on in the other two positions. For instance, if you turn the switch of the bridge pickup off and the other one on you'll only use the neck pickup and vice-versa. Flick both switches in the same direction to use both pickups at the same time. In opposite positions, the pickups are out of phase and produce a thinner, yet very usable sound. Additionally, there's a master volume and tone control at your disposal to fine-tune your sound.
The Squier brand
Ever since Fender introduced their first electric guitar in the fifties, many competing manufacturers have produced cheap imitations of varying quality. To offer you the same reliability, sound and playability of the original at a reasonable price, Fender started a subsidiary in 1982: Squier, (not to be confused with the Fender Esquire!). Squier's guitars and bass guitars are built under supervision and by specifications of Fender itself, assuring you purchase an authentic, high-quality instrument.
