Re: What do you guys think of your Squiers?

mono_tones_1 - 25 Mar 2005 13:43:46

I play a Korean Squier, i think from the early 80's but i never
bothetred checking that out - i love the guitar, mainly for the neck,
which is a lot like the one on the mexican classic 60's series,
including thick shiny yellowed lacquer (sp?).
pups were bad, put Seymour D SSL-1's in it.
mind you, the body is plywood, and by all this list standards its a
crap guitar. but I am with you completely, over the last 5 years or
so i sold about $5000 worth of guitars. all my investment has been in
amps, speakers, reverb and fuzz ;-).
