The Mustang, in detail.
The Mustang is Laika's signature compact electric: a one-piece seasoned alder body (dried to 8% moisture), a roasted-maple bolt-on neck with a ziricote or rosewood fingerboard, and our own aged-brass hardware. At 75 cm long and about 2 kg it fits carry-on luggage, but plays like a full instrument, 25-inch scale, familiar fret spacing, and professionally hand-wound pickups.
