Squier Classic Vibe '60s Mustang Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Olympic White

The Mustang is an iconic guitar. As the name implies it's a unique guitar that stands out from the rest. Coming from Squier says a lot too. In recent times the Squier has become more of a underrated brand and is starting to stand out.

This guitar is very comfortable to play due to its reduced scale and lighter weight. It's perfect for playing at home or out somewhere. It's very easy to carry around. The frets were a bit sharp, but that's to be expected. I'll take care of that when I change strings. It's not annoying or anything. The guitar's setup was good. I've been impressed with the Classic Vibe series. Excellent value for the money.

A little more attention to the fretts.

I wanted a short scale Fender and this is a beautiful guitar at a reasonable price. It plays and sounds great.

Here is a guitar that doesn't take itself so seriously - in the best way possible. There is a lot of fun to be had with the pickup switching on these little guitars. The necks on the classic vibe series are (lately) smoother and more well finished than the current player series models. The guitar itself resonates with a very warm vintage charm, and maybe aside from some of the hardware I can tell its going to age well. A lot of the fender/squier offsets have tuning or bridge buzz issues, mostly by design (thanks Leo). My new classic vibe mustang has no bridge buzz, and with the help of the GC techs, has no intonation problems. By design, the vintage mustang rolling tailpiece is certainly very quirky - even so, the actual tremolo function is very smooth and pretty. The guitar takes gain well and has great fendery single coil shape, with a wide variety of flavors that honestly remind me of my favorite tele style sounds. Purchasing this guitar was an impulse buy that has become a game changing tool in my songwriting and production - a much needed change from an arsenal of my stoic faced gibsons. Great value - I recommend for all uses, as well ad a great gift for your guitar player friends

I've been an advocate for the Classic Vibe line in general. Sold my Vintage Modified Mustang to buy the Classic Vibe version. The pickups are killer, they sound so good. It's a proper mustang for sure. That won't disappoint. The good stops there though. You see, the Classic Vibe (CV) line, I have a CV Jaguar, a CV Jazzmaster and they are super good with quality and fit and finish. The mustang, I assumed it would be the same but it wasn't. The frets on the first one I ordered were so sharp I thought I'd cut myself. Not exaggerating. A few weeks delay out for way too short and just sticking out for the end of the fret board—this wasn't a case of fret sprout either. It was unplayable. The nut stick our way too far on the low E side and just a little too far on the high e side. It obviously didn't fit. There were paint runs/drips in the finish and the switch for the bridge pickup didn't seem to function as smooth as the neck pickup switch. After the second one I exchanged this for came in inallos thought I had the same guitar; same horrid attention to the frets, same paint issues in the same spot and the same nut size issues as well. The switch seemed okay compare to the first though. I didn't leave the store with the second one, returned it on the spot. The color, Lake Placid Blue (LPB), is cool looking but it sure isn't a true LPB. It's really pale and looks closer to Ive Metallic Blue. If you want to see a true LPB look at the Squier Paranormal Series Toronado in LPB then compare it to the LPB of the Squier CV Mustang. You'll see, vastly different versions of LPB and that's a pretty big let-down. I was expecting a deeper, more electrified LPB and instead for a pale excuse for it. As a result of being let down by finish flaws, quality control and poor excise for a color called LPB I decided to not try for a third time with another LPB and instead opted for a Candy Apple Red (CAR). Hopefully the third times a charm saying will prove to be fruitful with the CAR one.
