Over the years both models have been released with various modifications. The latest versions benefit from a range of updates which include a string-through-body hardtail Strat bridge on the guitars.

Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang – review

My son, Harry, and I popped into our local guitar shop yesterday (Guitar Guitar in Epsom) on the off-chance that it had taken delivery of a Kurt Cobain Mustang, newly released by Fender. Lo and behold, there it was, hanging on the wall in all its glory.

Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang – worth waiting for?

Yesterday, I popped into town with my son, Harry, to visit our local guitar shop (Guitar Guitar) – just to enjoy a bit of guitar porn. As usual, we were greeted by Will – knowledgeable and helpful shop assistant/guitar guru – who was as cheerful as ever.

While we were browsing, a 1965 reissue Fender Mustang in Dakota Red caught Harry’s eye. Before I knew it, he was sitting on a stool, tuning the Mustang, while Will plugged it into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp. I pushed in the amps “More Drive” button and Harry let rip a few bars. His face lit up. Not only did the guitar look cool, it sounded fabulous – a wonderful blend of guts, clarity and character.
