I would not go buy another just to get the Gibson name on the head stock. I have only plugged it in an amp 3 or 4 times, but I have always been happy with its sound.

I’m sure Amp’s are the same way.

If the Mustang does not have a line out in the back for speakers it was most likely not built to power a 4 12 cabinet. The head phone jack for sure was not. Well it might for a “short” period of time, but not for a gig. My guess is it would hurt the amp.

So if I want to use a Mustang for gigs (I love the versatility of it, even though lots of people seem to hate Modelling Amps), I should consider the Mustang V Head and a Mustang V 412 Cabinet? The things I love about the Mustang are that I find it simple to use, it can have a lot of presets that can be easily changed on-the-go on the amp itself or by using Fender FUSE, and it generally sounds nice to my ears. Of course, people will always prefer a real Tube Amp over a Modelling Amp, but I'm the one playing it, so in the end, it really should be all up to me exactly what Amp I play through, as long as it is loud enough.
