Re: New guitar for Christmas

Bill Moffat (brine_iac_x) - 08 Jan 2004 10:10:36

Vince,
I also got a Squire Stagemaster "Strat". I had it set-up with flat
wound 11's on it. That was about a month ago. I have not noticed any
change in action or increase in string height. Yes, the guy in the
shop warned me about it, but I shot from the hip on a cheap guitar.
He added 2 extra springs to the tremelo. Since I got that guitar set-
up, I haven't put it down. So, is it safe? You may not lose your life
playing the Squire with 11's (unless a 11 e-string suddenly snaps and
severs your jugular vein). But so far mine has held well this last
month. Take a chance, what the heck, it's only China's finest to you
from Fender for $150, or about a 6 pack of good beer a week for about
a half a year.
