I've commented this exact same thing on an older thread but thought I'd copy it in here as it's newer.
Zombie thread!
I love my MIJ Mustang. If I had to be picky, the tuners are a bit clunky. That's it.
I want to get another for one with flats, one with rounds. Looking at the USA with the J pup for rounds, flats on the MIJ. I've played the USA, it plays just fine and feels similar enough to the MIJ.
EVERYBODY goes on about the JMJ, though. He is one of my favourite players, too, but I don't want the relic job, but! The sound of the chunkier neck is appealing. I usually play a P but am transitioning to shortys for those festivals and the like where there is no time to warm up. Also, because it makes me look less small onstage 😅
Any objective opinions on this? My MIJ sounds great with flats and rounds. Feels great, plays great. Am I really going to have a life changing experience with the JMJ or will I be fine, just fine, with the USA alongside the MIJ?
Thanks!
