Johnny Winter played a Mustang a lot in his earlier years and not a a learner guitar. He filled concert halls and fields with this guitar. Grunge did make them popular again.
Saw one at a Guitar Center. Pulled it out & played it and was BLOWN AWAY by it's play-ability. Sound was typical Squire sound (no mids, bright highs, airy lows). The longer offset body felt like it was made for me, but like you said, great for student/beginner to the mod world. It's screaming for someone to make it their own.
Great video. Love hearing you talk about the guitar. We don’t always need to hear the guitar played. Your opinion matters. Thanks for the video. I will be buying one
Enjoyed your video (subscribed). I own that exact same blue one made in 2017 in Indonesia, 12" radius fretboard, contours (arm & tummy cuts), and Humbuckers/3 way switch. I actually like the stock pickups/switching/tuning keys (*just tighten them up everywhere).
I bought the Bullet mustang (in that exact blue colour) about 7 years ago and it got me back into playing after a 10 year break. - something about the neck, I dunno. Never played the Sonic version but I would guess very similar. Excellent value for money.
I grabbed a Mustang and a DuoSonic a few years ago and threw some Lollars in them. One set was vintage Mustang inspired, the others were a hotter more modern take on them. They are pretty sweet.
just wanted to point out that the bullet and sonic are different; the neck radius and the pickup size (?) is different, i know that modding bullets is a tad harder because the pickups are weird and the neck radius on the bullets is 11-12 inch vs the sonics being 9.5
I customize all my guitars, except one lol! 🙂 and they aren't cheap from the start. :) I'm thinking of trying to scallop a fretboard on a neck I have extra that I don't use since the neck with scalloped frets that I bought from Fender was almost 900 dollars :\ That was the most expensive mod I did for my strat! Cost more than my 3 pickups combined, and t hose combined was like 500$
Intonation is a bit weird on these, my brother got the Bullet version many years ago but never touched it, after I rescued it with new strings and a bit of neck work it was 90% solid. Good first guitar and definitely unique, plus a huge cult forum following for mods, but they have their issues
@@sovka8394 thanks for the feedback! I watch a lot of channels that talk about the guitar industry and I quite enjoy it as that’s how I learned a lot of what I know. Some people may find the info interesting but would not have known to search out the information for themselves. I noticed there are already a lot of videos on youtube giving sound examples for these guitars. Usually those videos have “review” or “demo” in the title if anyone would like to search for them. I chose the title for this video because it’s an accurate description of the video and what I wanted to put out there. I’m sure I will do more demos and reviews in the future, perhaps on this guitar and potentially when I do some modifications to it.
@@BroKnowsGuitar I still think the majority just wants to hear the guitar sound. That’s how I found your video, I searched for the Squier Sonic Mustang HH. I’m glad you’re taking it as a feedback. Keep making videos.
You don't speak for everyone. This is exactly the type of guitar videos I'm looking for. I'm tired of watching someone stroke their ego with blues licks, and I just want to listen to someone talk about the gear. If I'm in the mood to watch videos, I don't really want to listen to music.
🤣🤣 I’m not sure you realize how disrespectful this comment is. I’ve acquired a lot of knowledge about these guitars, and in my experience, not a lot of guitar players are aware of some of this information. I thought “hey, it would be cool to share some of this, in case anyone is interested.” And instead of clicking away from me “talking too much” and going to one of the other hundred videos of people playing on this guitar, you decide to leave a comment degrading me and my guitar playing, which I’ve been working on for over 15 years? My playing which you apparently haven’t even heard and you assume it’s poor because I wanted to share some of my guitar knowledge?

I got the exact same sparkling blue Squier bought during Covid because I got stuck far away from home with no guitar to play ! And it is a keeper :)
I just got the black hh. I love it. My first humbucker guitar.
Great video. Love hearing you talk about the guitar. We don’t always need to hear the guitar played. Your opinion matters. Thanks for the video. I will be buying one
I have two Mustangs, nice guitar, great for blues.❤🎸.
I hope so. I just ordered one to play clean blues. HH.
This was informative and enjoyable. Thx... Subscribed

@@Tcoldsteel welcome back to playing guitar! 😎
Good stuff. Excellent playing. Please keep up the good work.
@@Dragon_rls thank you!

Also, the squier pickguard ages really beautiful real fast. Within a year if you hang it in the sun
Might not be good for the neck.
Would love to see how dialed in you can get with this platform. $199 is hard to pass up
Nice

@@jaydenfreak I didn’t know that. Thanks!
Hows the pickups
Sounds the same so nice job

Im gonna try turning one into a HSS lol

pawn shop mustang is a different animal
I can't even find a pawn shop atound here
Thats what i do
Naming a guitar "HH" is fucking insane
Bare knuckle pickups
The Bullet Series Mustang was superior, since it had an arm contour and belly cut, whereas the Sonic Series is a pure slab.
Odd shape
Literally 95% of the video is talking... Everyone can search for the information you’re talking about. We want to HEAR the guitars!

@@sovka8394shut up your missing the point of the video
@sovka8394 Hi! So usually when people want to watch a demo video, they search for a demo video, not an informational. Hopefully this helps!!!😇

Too much talk is always a sign for poor playing
