General

The snug playability of a compact offset body and a 24-inch scale length, and the sonic power of two Fender Designed Alnico single-coils: the Classic Vibe 60s Mustang is Squier's affordable love-note to an underground hero. Finished with welcome modern tweaks that include a C-profile neck, a lightly rounded 9.5 inch fretboard radius, and a set of narrow-tall frets, this short-scale upstart is an undeniable treat.

The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Mustang: Authentic Sixties Look & Sound

While the high-gloss polyurethane finish of the body and the vintage tinted neck polish off the authentic sixties look of this Mustang, the mounted pair of Fender Designed Alnico single-coils complete the authentic sixties sound. Mounted at an angle to give the higher gauge strings a fatter and fuller output and the lower gauge strings more punch, these pickups are controlled via an on/off switch and a phase switch alongside volume and tone controls. Wield delicious Mustang-style sound with ease, backed up by a floating bridge and Dynamic vibrato tailpiece complete with Vintage Mustang tremolo arm.

Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Competition Mustang Capri Orange Dakota Red Stripes IL Electric Guitar
Wrote the following about Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Competition Mustang Capri Orange Dakota Red Stripes IL Electric Guitar
Vandaag de beschadigde b-stock Squier Mustang omgeruild tegen een splinternieuw exemplaar in doos;

Uiterst correct geholpen door de medewerker van Bax Music Amsterdam.
Netjes retour genomen, verrekend en nieuwe geleverd. Mee naar huis dus!

Tijdens het uitpakken viel het kurkdroge laurier fretboard op, evenals de schrale frets en een iets andere kromming van de rug van de gitaarhals. Meer richting D, terwijl de vorige meer een grippy C was.
Geen scherpe freteinden, netjes afgewerkt en misschien was de actie zelf wel meer “level” als de vorige Mustang. Vreemd dat dit per gitaar zo kan verschillen, maar het geeft iedere gitaar dan ook wel weer haar eigen karakter.

Fretboard geolied, topkam iets verder ingevijld op de G-snaar, E en A zadels iets verder naar achter gedraaid want waren niet geïntoneerd, trussrod gechecked op werking.
Oude snaren eraf gehaald, snaren die overigens bij monteren in de fabriek al gebroken waren.
Als je de snaar direct om de cigar stoptail heen trekt zonder er een afstandhouder ( ball end van de oude snaar) tussen zet dan buigt de snaar te dicht bij de ball end om de stoptail heen en knakt in plaats van buigt. Dat hadden ze overigens in de productielijn wel kunnen bedenken maar ach…400 plus euro voor een gitaar en waarom zou je nou aan zoiets aandacht besteden….

Whammy bar erin, vastgezet met inbussleutel, alles op stemming en waarempel, het klinkt wonderbaarlijk goed en ècht Mustang!! Na een paar goede bends met de tremolostang blijven ook de vintage stemmechanieken netjes grip houden en kan er waarempel flink gerost en gestrumd worden in alle registers. Ook de hoek bij de 1e fret is niet te kort gezien de hoge benen topkam, alles is te spelen.
De pickups klinken allebei heel overtuigend, het “out of phase” met de switches dat ga ik aanpassen denk ik want is niet echt overtuigend.

Al met al een prachtige gitaar in een bijzonder mooie kleurstelling en een super donker fretboard het lijkt wel rosewood en geeft de FSR Competition Mustang een prachtige uitstraling. Heerlijk lichte body en fijn bespeelbaar ook voor tiener starters met wat de kortere hals. Aanrader!
