Hey did play electric guitars, also I found this list here.
Mustang Players
Some noted players of the Fender Mustang are:
* Blixa Bargeld (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Einstürzende Neubauten)

* Graham Coxon (Blur)
* Danny Bonaduce
* Eric Burdon
* David Byrne
* Kurt Cobain
* Jason Falkner
* John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as close friend;
* Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta
* Matthew Good (as evidenced in the video to 'Everything Is Automatic')
* Yoshiaki Manabe of Japanese rock group the pillows
* John McLaughlin
* Moe
* Liz Phair (she actually plays a Duo-Sonic and a Musicmaster)
* Elvis Presley
* Todd Rundgren
* Shakira
* Steve Turner (Mudhoney)

I think some people will get a funny on
this. But also provides some other info, I think they got it mixed up, because his guitarist used a jazzmaster. But I don't think any one could get a JM and a Mustang mixed up.

That's a Hagstrom, a Viking, I think.

Fender made a few hollow bodies, the Coronado, the Starcaster, and one single pick up archtop.

I know he plays a Jaguar in one movie and a Coronado in another. I wouldn't be surprised if he held a mustang for a song-and-dance number.

He probably did use a Mustang briefly.
Thats his Hagstrom Viking II.
