Fender '69 Reissue Mustang, sonic blue, made in Japan 2010-11. This is one cool looking guitar! The sonic blue finish is superb, it absolutely oozes charm. The black switches and pickup covers lend this a slightly meaner aesthetic; it's such a little stunner with so much attitude. This packs the classic 'Stang-playability: slinky short scale, slim neck, light body... it's all too easy. The 'plonky' tone you expect from a Mustang is there in spades; it's perfect for loud jangly rhythm parts and stanky riffs with it's rounded warm attack and short sustain. This is equal parts cute, friendly, assertive and boastful; it's the perfect party companion.
