Sunn mustang

[ploppy]

My sister got me this "Sunn mustang by fender" strat for xmas, which apart from the odd ding is in really nice condition and plays really well.
I can vaguely remember Sunn strats in late '80's but can't seem to find much info on the tinterweb.
Strangely the serial number on the neck plate NC436573 indicates that it's a squier bullet strat made in the corona factory usa but it's also stamped made in china.
Has anyone here got one or shed any light on the Sunn guitars?

There was one posted on The Telecaster forum a few years ago

A lot of them had plywood bodies but dont let that put you off. Like Marlin, a lot of players cut their teeth on these and they are remembered fondly as a good quality affordable guitar.
I cant remember who it is now but a well known Metal band still use Sunn guitars.

<placeholder while I try to think of a nice way to phrase "They're shit guitars that many of my friends suffered at the hands of in the 80's">

Tim was obviously fortunate enough to have learnt on a 59 Gibson Les Paul. Whilst the rest of us struggled with Marlin, Westone and Sunn

I learned on a Marlin Sidewinder which, whilst shite, was loads better than my mate Ben's Sunn Mustang.
