MS-60 VW Vintage Series : A small price for a fantastic guitar

When one would look at the price of this guitar, one would be tempted to believe it is just another cheap guitar, but do not be deceived by the price. It is a pretty good instrument. First of all, the color is quite nice. A lovely white that is a bit closer to being light yellow-ish. Personally, I like it. The arm was quite comfortable as well. The tuners and the bridge are quite decent as well. The tuners hold in the intonation quite well. The bridge might be its weakest point, though, not for the quality, but for the bridge model in itself. Fender Mustangs and Jazzmasters which have the same kinda of bridge often have the same issues. A tip: just tight the screws on it and lock it so it only works one way. By doing this, you shouldn't have any tuning problems. The guitar came with .09 strings, but I recommend changing it for .11's, which in my opinion is perfect for its shorter scale (compared to LP's or Strat's). After setting it up, it played perfectly. The guitar has two pickup selectors which work well, and two knobs, one for tone and for volume which are both quite responsive.

Now for the most important part: the sound. The guitar comes with two single-coil Wilkinson pickups. They are quite warm sounding, and with a bit of fullness to it (close to being a P90, specially the one in the arm). The guitar sounds perfect if you are into alternative rock, grunge or something a bit more grittier.

Therefore, if you want a knockoff of a Fender Mustang, get this one. Its quality extends way beyond its price.
