Fender uploaded the demo videos for all of these guitars to their Youtube channel this week.


You know you're scraping the barrel when things like "chrome-plated hardware" are the so-called 'special features' of a guitar

That Sonic Mustang is so cheap I half suspect the price is a typo,

I just received my Squier Sonic Mustang Torino Red

Really cool little travel guitar . I’ll take it with me on vacation this summer .
I love the Torino Red color. The neck is IMO much better than the one on the bullet Mustang. Chunkier but not too much . This one is perfectly built and is made in China with a CRNC serial number I have never seen before .
Set up was spot on out of the box with a nice low action . And even the pickups are pretty good . Pretty impressive .

This is a quick demo out of the box :

It's gonna be hard for me not to buy a bunch of these for no reason.

Thought the maple necks would be one-piece. damn.

I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

Fender has some new web exclusive colors on their webstore for these Sonic models. I don't need any of them, and they are so tempting.

Limited Edition
