Re: [SurfGuitar101] Attention Fender Nazis

Fred Pleasant (fredpleasant) - 24 Apr 2002 00:37:02

My squire strat bullet series cost me $175 in 1995.
It's lasted very well. It's in excellent condition.
The action is kind of high, but I like it and it's
expected considering that I have 12 guage strings on
it. I've heard people say that the squires sound
worse because they're cheaper. I'd just like to say
that I think mine sounds better than my friends
American Strat. Mine has a thicker sound (might also
be the strings).
Also, you said that you've never had to tune your
guitar since you got it? Have you never changed
strings? [snicker] Or played drop D? Or had a string
stretch?
