There must be fan fucking favourites? Stop being obtuse.

So far they sound like a terrible band. No stand out tunes?

They sound to me like an American Idlewild...

This seems pretty popular...

i could never really imagine block inlays or any sort of inlays for that matter, on a mustang, it's like putting leather seats and exspensive tyres on a Vw polo ?

i mean..to me, mustangs are like (were meant to be) ..the least 'classy' guitars for students to start out on then fall in love because they're just wonderful in their simplicity... but they're not meant to look classy ?
still...i like it on this mustang, it works.

alright, I see what you're saying. you could say it's essentially a pimped duo sonic. but to me the mustang is like they took the strat and made it better. got rid of the dumb 'horns', offset the body, got rid of the useless middle pickup, gave it a better trem, shortened the scale a bit and added some more switching options. it's like everything that's stupid about the strat is fixed. I don't really see it as simple at all. more like refined. :)

so, yea I like the blocks, heh

I only read the first post in a Robroe Double/Triple Header these days.

The 'Stateside' song didn't do much for me, the drumming was nice though

yeah i agree with most of that mage, but when it first came out it was like 'the fender for the poor student' a bit, atleast that's what i always thought.
