Planning on many mods!
Oh man. That’s sweet! Sold both my guitars four years ago, now I’m itching to play again.
Yep great fun!
And therapeutic!
Crank it when the family is not home!
Six string therapy…antidote to a bad day
I’ve got one of those. No where near as pretty. Great little guitar and the fender practice amp that came with it was awesome.
Could not pass it up!2017 model but near mint!
Nice guitar, congrats! I bought a new Squier strat for my son last year, and I’m blown away by how nice some of the new Squiers are. Squier seems to have gone through a bad period in the 90s-2000s, but they’ve upped their game the last ten years or so.
The Standards are a little nicer than the Affinity and Bullet series, IMO, but an Affinity with a few mods can be a very nice guitar.
The Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe series are on a different level altogether. I’ve played VM strats that we’re comparable (or better!) than Fender Mexican strats. For around $300 they are a ridiculously good deal.
Nice snag, philo! I’ve got a Mexican Stratocaster myself. What’s yer preferred style of music to play?
Classuc rock with lots of gain!
Cool!! I’m into southern rock, country, bluegrass, and contemorary Christian.
Cool - I play Skynryrd all day.
When do you find time to build a kit?? [:|]
Sorry! I just couldn’t resist!! [proplr]

Busy boy with work and hobbies!Just added a Tusq nut and roller string trees!
I fell into the bottomless pit that is guitar modding a couple years back when I bought my first pawn shop squier. About $75 later my $45 beat up strat looked and sounded really good. I now have another ‘cheap’ squier and and Epiphone Les Paul that sound as good as anything costing 3 times as what I paid. That’s my excuse for a 1/350 Bismarck taking over 2 years.
Yep after I added the loaded pickguard with Alinco 5s it sounds as good as a Fender Standard for sure!
Got a Squire myself, can’t play a chord to save my life but I will not part with it. There is an 80’s heavy metal/ hairbabnd guitarist in me…just need to find time to tune and let him out. Beautiful six string.
