Yeah, I don't think those 'Stangs look too bad.

The P90 loaded Mustang should excite some around these parts for sure. Sonic Blue rules too so it's nice to see that finish.
I love a maple board on a jazzy but not so keen on the black block inlays. Gimme dots on a Fender.

The Mustangs look really awkward with P90s. I'm sure they'll sound good, but they really ruin the looks of the guitar for me. And holy fuck Fender, try putting JM pickups in a JM for a change instead of more humbuckers.

seems like the red JM is just waiting to be the poor man's Ranaldo/Moore Jazzy. swap the PUs and you're ready to boogie. the maple-neck one is painful, though. i'm startled that they used P-90s in the Mustangs rather than Jazzmaster PUs, but a 24" scale with P-90s should sing.

I don't really get why the black JM has block inlays but no binding and no 70's decal. Mahogany body is kinda cool though.
I'll stick with Squier..
