I have a 78 mustang, and I switch between that and a Les Paul. I’ve not played a modern one, but my experience would concur with what Rickster has said as I don’t find it shockingly different to the 60s profile LP neck. It definitely is narrower though, and the string tension is low, it’s my favourite guitar.
I don’t have v big hands (medium endura gloves), but I’m a 30-something male so I don’t require a smaller guitar as such

I am trying to get a special surprise gift for someone who currently plays a squier mustang.
my understanding of their choice is they are quite small, small hands, short scale length and narrow neck meant the mustang was a great fit.
Said person is big into playing, they perform alot, and I know they are into vintage guitars and amps but could never afford one.
My current idea is to buy a vintage fender mustang, but I do not understand how I can verify whether the neck depth is still accessible to this person, was this always a mustang thing throughout its history? am i better talking to some actual shops that have some in stock?
