My Vintera's pretty buzzy, but I'm not surprised because the shielding is pretty atrocious. It's getting copper tape next string change, because it's a bit much when I'm trying to record especially.

Yep, I'm thinking I'm going to take a dive one of these days and try to get to the bottom of it. As soon as I stop playing it sounds like aliens are landing in my recording studio

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
Where would I get a 3 way rotary switch like the one in the Ben Gibbard Mustang?

Anyone know if these have a forearm contour? It's a bit hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like it's cut on the back but not the front.

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on a $1100 no-frills MIM Mustang even though I like the specs (forearm contour on a non-RI Mustang? Holy molly!). It's almost twice as expensive as the MIM Mustangs/Duo Sonics. The chambered ash doesn't feel "premium" without a colored finish and the rest is just artist quirks. So the huge markup comes almost entirely from the branding.
I paid $750 for a brand new MIA FSR Mustang Special just over a year ago, so maybe we'll see some of these discounted?

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
Wow I like that it seems you can easily mod it to a vibrato (they should include one!). Also, he doesn't seem to see it, but in the bag there IS a vibrato bar included!Maggieo wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 12:55 pmTrogly is not impressed:

I don't like the single ply black guard and would probably swap it (with the switch holes taped over/under) and put a chicken head selector on.

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
So by now, what's the consensus on these, these days.
I tried one at the MusicStore, terribly set up, like everything else there, so I didn't quite enjoy playing it.
But still...
Just curious.

Re: Fender Mustang Ben Gibbard signature?
I'm also curious because I keep seeing barely used ones on reverb for about 850 or so.
