Found this in Guitar World, thought some of youse might get a laugh from it. (We
don't
have any Mustang users on this forum, do we?)
___________
Q: What is it about the Mustang that works for you?
Kurt: They're cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap. They are
also very
small and don't stay in tune, and when you want to raise the string action on
the
fretboard, you have to completely loosen all the strings and completely remove
the bridge.
You have to turn these little screws with your fingers and hope that you've
estimated it
right. If you screw up, you have to repeat the process over and over until you
get it right.
Whoever invented that guitar was a dork.
Q: It was Leo Fender.
Kurt: I guess I'm calling Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get
an
endorsement (laughs).
_____________
Ah, Kurt, ever the masochist. Got the endorsement (the Jagstang), posthumously,
and thus
inflicted his pain on every guitar player who bought one.
