Squier guitars

[JohnMac]

Nice! Lake Placid blue. I've been resisting that one. .

How do you like it?

 

[cratz2]

I haven't played it yet.



Only planned upgrades are the neck pickup and saddles. And a full setup, of course.

 

[cratz2]

So I had a chance to play it for an hour or so. I haven't tweaked the setup at all.

The guitar I've been playing lately has 11 gauge flatwound so in comparison, these 9 gauge round wounds are... well... they feel like toys.

I'll do the typical new guitar stuff over the weekend if I have time but for the offensively small of $$$ I have in the guitar, it's pretty decent.

I know us old(er) timers say it all the time, but I wish I had something this nice when I started out.

What do you guys think about this one ? Warning, R rated material.

 

[cratz2]

It looks inflammatory.

And backwards.

Picked this up when I was 19 or so in about 1990, I’m more of a bass player, but a real good, old friend. Her name is Whitey. Still plays well, could use a bit of love. Totally recommend them, but a rarer piece.

Might just be the angle of the picture, but the neck heel looks to be too wide. If not, I'd replace the neck anyway due to the logo.

If the body is full sized(Affinity and Bullet models aren't) $100 is a decent price.

 

[JohnMac]

It looks like the neck has been shimmed. The body appears to be full thickness but hard to tell for sure. BTW. Bullet bodies are full thickness but Affinities are not.

Do you play left handed? That's a lefty guitar.

I'd pass on that one unless you really like the body. You can do better than that on a used Squier and a new Bullet can be had for about $130.

Those late '80s early '90s Korean Squiers are pretty nice. The necks are fantastic on them.

EDIT: I just noticed that yours is made in USA. Yours is an '89 made in Corona California. Somewhat rare.

Here's one of Korean Squiers.

I noticed it was a lefty strung righty, was curious because of the Made in USA on the neck.

 

[JohnMac]

Ah, I didn't notice that it is strung right handed.

I don't know about the neck. Maybe made in USA but not Fender.

Everything is original, pulled the plastic off the pick guard myself. Look into them, neck plays like a strat, pickups not quite as good.

The original Japanese made JV Squires 1982 & 83 (Japanese vintage) and SQ Squires 1983 & 84 had USA made pickups and cloth wiring.
The new Squires are different animals.

A good lookin' one there.

What do you mean original? Pretty sure the neck doesn't go with the body unless it is something other than a Fender/squire altogether. I'm not sure what indicates what brand it is. That's not a fender serial number on the neck and Fender didn't put them in that place.

I am curious about it though. Some more info and pics would help.

EDIT: Ignore this post. I got my replies goofed up and this has nothing to do with anything.

I might go by there this weekend. If it's still there I'll get more pics.

I thought he was referring to his previous post:

This one and my Aubergine (dark brown) are two of my favorite Teles. Along with my old Butterscotch Blonde one.

Some cool amps, look old though these days w/ "relic reissues" n the like ya never know for sure, but pretty safe bet the Ampeg in blue-check tolex is a genuine '60s relic... Rocket or Reverb-o-Rocket model? Also seein' an old Fender (outboard) Reverb tank atop the brown Pro (single 15"?)?
