Squier Sonic Mustang Solidbody Electric Guitar - Torino Red Reviews
A no-nonsense take on the classic Fender Mustang, the Squier Sonic Mustang is teeming with alt-rock attitude! This guitar’s slightly compact offset poplar body is loaded with a pair of Squier ceramic single-coil pickups, producing bell-like cleans and an aggressive snarl when you stomp on your favorite distortion pedal. Next, the neck’s maple-on-maple construction and “C” shape deliver a feel that splits the difference between playing comfort and high-performance playability. Prefer an instrument with a slinky string feel? The Mustang’s classic 24-inch scale length offers a relaxed tension and reduced fret-to-fret travel distance — perfect for developing guitarists and players with a slightly smaller grip. Whether you’re after an attitude-equipped first instrument or looking for a bold new sound to add to your arsenal, the Squier Sonic Mustang is a short-scale powerhouse.

Pretty solid guitar
Guitar is great and plays well and the service was amazing as usual
An amazing budget guitar!
It arrived in good condition. I did have to adjust the bridge because the low e was buzzing. But aside from that, it has been an exceptional guitar. I recommended this to beginners and experienced players. It's great guitar overall.
Super Sonic (Mustang) " A reissue in a sense"
Firstly let me state that while this guitar is not an accurate reissue of the 1950's Sonicaster...it is highly reminiscent of that model. I owned one of those Supersonics back in the late 1970's. I also owned at that time a 1952 Esquire that I purchased for $ in 1970. Man...do I wish I had that one now!!! Ditto for the early 1950's Supersonic. As for this model I give it four stars mostly because of the finish work on the "reissue". While mine does not have "fret sprouts" the finishing of the fret ends could have been a wee bit smoother. But this does not take away from THE VIBE of the guitar. It feels "oldish" in my hands. Like a quasi-realistic incarnation of the original. I like the feel of the neck regarding scale and nut width. The weight is a dreamy light almost 5 lbs. The pickups DO NOT STINK!! I kind of LIKE them even though I'm not SURE if I should. Either way I have no plans to replace them. Sound wise: it has the essence of Fender Twang that I much prefer over the sounds of Gibson guitars. I have owned many Gibsons over the years and while I like some models more than others I still prefer FENDER TWANG. I think Fender has done us a service by making a VIBE LIKE model for such a bargain price but I would like them to spiffy up this model a tad and use the 'FENDER' moniker. It is more SONICASTER than MUSTANG.
String Nut
I returned this Sonic Mustang because the nut slot for the high E string is cut too close to the edge of the fretboard resulting in the string sliding off the edge of the fretboard. This is my only complaint.
