NGD - American Performer Mustang

Post by Owl » Wed Feb 07, 2024 3:05 am

Well,
It has landed this morning... a nice little Mustang, sonic blue American Performer. I already love it!
I was looking for something to come in complement to my Jazzmaster and I rapidly set on getting a mustang.
This one is in mint condition, 2018. Great "woody" sound and nice neck, smooth ! It was a fair deal so how could I refuse ?!
Any pictures ? Yes.

Played it a little this afternoon... it rocks like a beast !
I found it best without the trem bar as you can push on the cigar with your palm. Is it intended for this use ?

Hugely underrated. They’re possibly the best Mustang built since the Vintage era.
