Adee Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Similar to the MiM PJ model but with different bridge, thru body string, US vintage pups, colours, MiJ Link to the Fender Japan website Another announcement link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I would normally prefer a Japanese Fender to a Mexican but standard Mex Mustangs are excellent and I can't see these being much better. From the Japanese website I love the look of that orange Vintera! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’ve been so tempted to get one of these for gigs where we fly, just to make things that little bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The black one looks great, IMO. Looks like they've kept the traditional Mustang bridge too in place of the cut down version used on the American Performer Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javi_bassist Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 They look really good. I prefer this to the Vintera (I know the Vintera looks more like the original) The Mex already sound pretty good. I was about to buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) The PJ pickups still look comically large against the smaller body The smaller, original sized pickups look more natural. It's like the bass version of this: Edited July 31, 2019 by Delberthot 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Sounds too zingy in that video, I'd want more of a vintage tone myself. Well worn flats on it may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worn flats on it may help I thought that but he adjusts the tone setting and it sounds great thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
