Quick update (sorry, not strat related :cool: ), the amp is all good, just dirty pots screwing up the signal. Some Deoxit and everything works as expected. The silver stripe Bandit is a versatile, inexpensive sleeper of an amp IMO. Don't get me wrong, there are better amps, but the price to...
All of you are awesome! I returned to check the thread and was so happy to see all of the responses! I want to answer all of you individually but I think it's just easier to make one post to answer them all :)
Yes, I am a dope and spelled Squier wrong LOL. (Nadzab and 1stpitch) To diydude, the...
This one is in NJ. I guess I've been looking at the maple neck Squires in GC too much. I am definitely not a Strat expert, hence my post to you all :) . Again, I came to the right place! A lot of quick, positive responses. Thank you all! I think FrieAsABird has nailed it!
I've been in Guitar Center quite a bit lately and have had some hands on with the new Affinity Squires. This one doesn't seem to jive with what I've played.
I was thinking the same, but the "q" in squire is wrong on the guitar in question and the truss rod cutout is also a bit "off" compared to a known Squire like the image you reference. Again, it's all in the details :)
Looking at all the Squire info I can find online, I still can't match it up to anything. Even if the bridge was swapped out, the headstock details don't make any sense.
I'm no stranger to cheap guitars. I bought a first gen Spectrum strat for a song once. I used it to try some fix it up type...
Sorry for the loss.
They are not asking a lot. It's a package deal with a Peavey amp. I mean, the asking price is not out of line, but I honestly don't need a POS guitar and they won't separate the two. If the guitar is an actual Squire, even an Affinity or Bullet, I'd be all in. Maybe I'm...
I agree, but I'm a stickler for details, and the details on this one are questionable. I have read everywhere, why counterfeit a Squire? But again, why not. At the low end of the quality spectrum, one would think that people wouldn't question the "issues" and expect a certain amount of defects...
Hi,
New here and looking for some help with a guitar that I'm looking to buy. Listed as a Squire, but a lot of things look odd to me and I can't confirm the model anywhere. The 2 point trem comes on squires but this one looks odd. The headstock is weird too. The truss rod cutout is an odd shape...
