The solid wood case ensures longevity and is said to be highly durable by many guitarists.

All the time and effort goes into cramming it full of features, but not bothering to make the speaker actually sound adequate. This is usually the reason why I tell people to save a little longer and buy a Boss Katana 50, which has a ton of features and houses a decent 12″ speaker. The USB connection and FUSE software enable players to really get the sound they’re after effortlessly. Pros of The Fender Mustang III
