Описание: Your Fender or Squier Mustang doesn’t have to play like garbage. In this video I show you why Mustangs often feel unstable, won’t stay in tune, or sound weak — and how to fix every single issue with a proper setup.

From bridge height and neck shims to string gauge, spring tension, nut work, pickup adjustment, and grounding — I break down everything you need to make your Mustang play the way it was meant to. If your Mustang has been collecting dust because it feels unplayable, this guide will get it back into your rotation.
