Best Mustang Guitars With SS Configuration in 2023
Here you'll find the best Mustang style guitars with SS configuration. This is the classic Telecaster configuration and it's used mainly for playing clean or with low-gain distortion. It doesn't give you as much versatility as a Strat SSS configuration, but you might like the cleaner look of a guitar body with fewer pickups.
