Hell yes, get one. I have two now. They are wonderful little guitars that usually have nothing wrong with them new except needing a setup to your liking and a little attention to the frets and oil for the fingerboard. I customized my first one, a surf green that I got 2 years ago for $150, and will probably leave my metallic blue one basically as-is, which I got for $14 (yes, fourteen) at the pawn shop because nobody else wanted it after it had hung on their wall for 6 months. I luckily walked in on the day the manager felt like getting rid of it. Both of my Bullet Mustangs have great overall fit and finish and zero problems with the standard electronics or hardware, but of course you might not have my luck on this. Overall I've done well with Squiers, and many of us blow $150 bucks or whatever over a typical weekend on things of no lasting value so my advice is buy one of these instead and stay home for a change this weekend. (Edit: 1 year later, Dec '23) Still loving and enjoying my Mustangs. Getting ready to mod my blue one soon. Going to repaint the body with Krylon Fusion paint to match Fender's Olympic White, because a light color shows off the very nice offset body shape better than the stock metallic blue, IMO. I also bought a 4-ply red tortoise-shell replacement pickguard from Musiclily that is very nice. All I'm going to do on this one is swap the pickups and switch over to the new pickguard because honestly they work fine. This is just going to be a cosmetic makeover so the guitar looks better to me. The blue paint is very good but the color was simply not turning me on. Then I saw a '65 Fender in Olympic White with tortoise pickguard and THAT, friends, is the shizzle. My surf green Mustang looks great with its stock white pickguard, so I may use my now-spare white pickguard to do some pickup experimentation on that one. But no hurry on that.

I didn't even know this Mustang had contours til after I bought it and it arrived. Such a nice surprise. Great guitar. Very light. And yeah this Mustang needs no mods. Sounds great the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing with my Surf Green Bullet Mustang.

There’s a lot to be said for having a simple guitar. And a one that’s easy to play. Fender/Squire have been in the game a long time.. Maybe they just know what they’re doing. Great vid! I think I want one..

Good points about not mod ding this guitar. It sounds great. Mine almost sound single coul. That might be a stretch but it cuts through in live situations very well. All around good guitar. One negative aspect is re--stringing it. It can be tedious. For those of you who have one and have this problem, here's a tip: before passing the string through the hole on the saddle/bridge , shape the string end into a hook--- like a J or U shape. When you pass it through the hole the end will stick up where you can grab it. Makes it a lot easier. These are awesome guitars just like Hoodio said. The Squier Bullet Teles are also very good.

I bought that Mustang in Surf Green back when it was $129 on sale. I modded it & put a humbucker-sized P90 in the neck. I also replaced the bridge pickup with a much lower output - 7.5 Ohms - Alnico II humbucker, and I love the sound variations. I also replaced the tuners with Gotohs. And I did have to file the fret ends down a little bit. It’s a fast, easy playing, fun guitar now.

Guitars made in Indonesia are very well made. My experience in several guitars. Great video!

I have this same guitar but installed Gibson LP pups, bone nut sperzel tuners all American wiring and pots , rolled fret board and it's as good as any of my actual fenders.

You're absolutely right ,that's why the Bullet Mustang is out on it's own ,it's gorgeous light weight curves are unbeatable 'I looked at the new Sonic Mustang HH but it's just a slab so I bought a 2017 Bullet for £90 on Reverb and can't lose .

I have one in Surf Green. I like it. Mine was the display model at guitar center. The one I initially bought was brand new, in the box. When I got home with it I opened the box and unpacked it, then plugged it into my Fender Champion 50 XL amp. There was a problem with the bridge pickup. It kept cutting off while I was playing. Tried it on my Fender Mustang 1 V2 amp. Same thing. Took it back to GC. The only Surf Green one they had was the display one. So I took it. I changed the strings on it to a new set of D'Addario 9's. It plays good. I did have to do a truss rod adjustment on it. It's easy and fun to play. I am thinking about getting another one in the Imperial White color.

just bought this exact model. ordered a set of 10's for it and plan on putting locking tuners and a seymour duncan distortion humbucker in it eventually. i was debating on getting the surf green model but the olympic white is too cool.

Great vid. I will simply not play a guitar without contours and a tummy cut. I grew up playing mostly strats and even though I never thought about it most of the time I really couldn't play any other kind of guitar. I demand contours. It's a must. I find slabs very uncomfortable. Without an arm cutaway you have the edge of the body digging into your arm. That's not good for ergonomics. A belly cutaway is also a must whether you're a sumo wrestler or flat as a washboard. A light weight is also wonderful. I learned long ago I could not gig with a Les Paul.

Great point about the contours! My Fender Mustang didn't have those contours and I wished it did. I love my Bullet.

I have a Bullet Mustang-90 (mod job) and a new Sonic Mustang SS. They actually got rid of the body contour cuts on the Sonic. It's just a flat slab on both sides now. I don't notice much of a difference when playing them. The Bullet/Sonic Mustangs are designed to mimic the Fender Player Mustang, so I guess getting rid of the contours made it more true to the Fender Player.

Bought a white one set it up and play it through an Orange amp . Love them both

Love my Sonic Grey one. Haven't done a thing to it, except oil the fretboard.

Love my Squiers. I have the Jaguar in surf green and love it.Just ordered the mustang in sonic grey which was one of the original Fender colors back then. Price right now is $199.00 for the mustang. I just plan on a setup, string change to 10-52s, clean the frets, and put some Music nomad F1 oil on the fretboard.,

5 months later and I haven't did anything later and I haven't did anything to mine. Thefretboard could use a little bit smoothing but I'll get around to it eventually because it's awesome the way it is.

I bought a white Squire Bullet Mustang and run it through a Orange amp . Love them both .

And Les Paul owners have to put up with those sharp body edges ow!

I ordered 2 more after getting my first! Been playing semi professional for 20 years!!! After some love they play great ! Setup etc. definitely

Love to see what mods you'll be making to it. Had one now for about a year, replaced pickups with something a bit better, sounds great. Thanks for the video!

These are such great sounding and playing guitars ! MF recently ran the Surf Green Squier Bullet Mustang on their SDOTD special for $129 😮😮😮 GC matched the price for me at the register 👍. I cant quit playing this thing. 😂😂😂

I would love it if it had a Strat style whammy bar. Other than that, an outstanding instrument especially for the price.

i have the whole lineup of these light weight knock offs and they sound great.

Have to agree, very nice, well made guitar.

I have one in pink, and I love it. 💓🎸.

Agree with the reviewer. I am not too fussed about the belly cut but the elbow contour is an amazing addition. I hate all guitars that don't have that. Would honestly rather rock a modded one than a US one.

I have this guitar, the right forearm contour is perfect but I whish it did not have the belly cut. Maybe you don't agree but let me explain my rationale: when I play standing, when I firmly secure the guitar with the right forearm, pressing it against my body, the belly cut makes the guitar top turn a bit to my face, as I I were cheating looking at the strings, instead of being parallel to my body (or vertical). I don't like that. The second thing is that the guitar has neck dive, maybe not so extreme but it has. Just lift the guitar with just the index finger on the center of the bottom cut, the headstock will fall.

The only mod i did was to replace the gaulk black knobs with the nickel knobs!

I'm not someone with small hands, I mean, I'm a woman but I'm a fairly tall individual. Would a Mustang feel too small for me? They're so pretty, I want one but not sure if it's a good fit.

On sale now at Guitar Center $149usd

Just grabbed a Surf Green on ebay for $150 from Musicians Friend. Building my budget collection. Lol

Thanks for the review. It looks like a good guitar, it's true.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi thanks for the video! I’m a lefty and I just ordered a right handed model, do you think it’ll work the same strings flipped? Which fixes i could do? Thanks in advance to anyone helping out

If you are getting fret buzz out of the box, what happens when you set it up and STILL HAS FRET BUZZ? Anything can be fixed or changed EXCEPT THE NECK.

I would love to get a Competition Stripe model but they’re all from overseas and the shipping is the same cost as the guitar. Bleh.

The UK colour options are pretty grim.

Is it neck heavy?

They need to move the toggle. Great little axe but that f***ing toggle is in the perfectly wrong spot.

1,000 likes for the eBay link. I can't stand the chrome control panel thingy.

Full scale guitars were too big for joan jett I suggested short scale and then showed her how to tune it.
