hahaha

I actually just put the trem arm in and got my Hurb on. It stayed in tune! Up and down bends. Still not convinced it's my thing in terms of sondz but I don't think I need to lock the trem, I think the strings just needed a bit more time to bed in than on a hardtail guitar.

I think it's going to be the one I'm taking to practise, also can't wait to get my Duo-Sonic finished.

Cheers Gittins!

Hi Rob!


Nah I was never "all about" humbuckers, Hurbster, I just wasn't anti- them, and I'm still not. Although I love my single coils now.

It's a proper nice guitar. Feels fucking mint.

I think I went from 11 to 8 because I haven't had a beer. Now I have one here it makes total sense to me.
I love this guitar

Very nice indeed. With this and James' new acquisition, it looks like the Mustang is back in fashion in these parts.

I would have thought it was always the most popular Shortscale on this website. Maybe we need another thread?

hahah cheers man. Yeah, it's a crunchy rhythm guitar. It's not a flashy lead machine, and that's pretty much what I'm all about.

Depends how it goes with the band, our drummer just became a Dad last week so we'll be practising fairly rarely. I can't wait to play it with the guys but I can't see why not, I'm loving it. I may alternate.

I will definitely play it at our next electric gig, if only to get some high quality pictures of me playing it, roffle.

Mustangs have always been cool.

Sounds great Mike. I didn't use the trem on mine for ages, until Hurb made me. I reckon it's better than a strat trem.
