I'll be curious to see what these are like. Nice to see some lower end options in Surf Green and Sonic Blue

Probably $350 retail... that surf green one looks pretty sweet! — |

Maybe even less than $350. The Classic Vibe Squier Strats list for $549 and retail for $350. This one lists for $50 less. Found a couple demos. First one is clean, second is dirty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49X02W4kUys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRUUUPbg6R0 —You're not drunk if you can put your socks on while standing. |

Would love one with a maple fretboard. —Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something. You're not getting out." - Kelly Slater |

I've heard these will be $299 street price. Looks cool. I think its the same factory that builds the Vintage Modifies Jazzmaster and Jaguar. Both of those are far nicer than they should be for that kind of money. I can't quite figure out what lipstick pickups have to do with surf? —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

These have a basswood body, so that probably explains part of the lower price —Shawn Martin |

If you get one of these you can probably count on replacing the cheap bridge/trem, at least if you want to use it. The one on my Vintage Modified Start was unusable, floppy with lots of play and a tiny block that sounds anemic. I had to fill the holes and re-drill for a Wilkinson tremolo but it made a huge improvement in tone and sustain. I got rid of mine because I didn't care for the flatter, chunky neck with medium jumbo frets. |

Why would a "surf" model have anything but regular Stratocaster pickups? I do think it's cool that they're doing that. —The Mystery Men? |

So, has anyone played one yet? Though I gave up on Lipsticks for my personal use a few years ago, I still love the sound. —Buy Endless Drummer @ Bandcamp |

You may want to have a look at the other thread -- more info there. —Old punks never die... They just become surf rockers. |

The brand new Guitar Player mag gives it a very favorable review. Ivan |

Well I play with them everytime I stop into GC. I'll pick one up and give it a few bars of Pipeline. As for the tone of the pickups they sound good for what they are but they don't have that single coil surf sound thats for sure. I would buy one but I already have 2 Squier Strats that I should replace the pickups in. —"Maybe there aren't any surf bands; there's only surf music?" Tuck Last edited: Jul 27, 2012 12:09:44 |
