Sunn Mustang
The interesting thing about this is that it carries the words "Sunn Mustang an authorised Fender product" on the headstock. Clearly there is some fender connection, but why "Mustang" This guitar is nothing like a Fender Mustang. I did some research and discovered that in the late 1980's Fender licensed the Stratocaster design to manufacturers in India and China. There, they made very cheap Stratocaster copies that entered the US by the name Squier and the rest of the world by the name Sunn. This is probably one of those. I regret selling this guitar because it would have been a great vehicle for testing out different electrical ideas. (I quite fancy wiring a Strat type guitar in the style of Brian Mays "Red Special") I had only recently purchased my Yamaha Pacifica, which is a similar style of guitar, so this one had to be listed on e-bay soon after purchase. |
This
guitar was another car boot purchase. It was actually in pretty good condition.
I only had to clean it up, re string and add a whammy bar. The guitar looks
good, played OK and sounded OK through an amp. Nothing to get exited about
though.
