I really like it, I've got it on one of my Sandbergs, just looks cool to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 That's a surprise, from Squier. Normally I'd say they're reasonable quality and at least they'd screw on the parts in the right places. I'd have thought with any more than a hardful of guitars made, you'd have some kind of frame or jig to determine where to put them too.

DoubleOhStephan Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Oh, and a chrome fender decal on the headstock. Clean af 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirellithecat Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Here's One I prepared earlier - the black headstock is standard on the ISC xxxxxxx serial numbers I think. This one has upgraded bridge, new SD pickups/pots and fettled by the guitar garus at the GuitarRepairWorkshop in Manchester. If the Fender "original" plays better than this it must be a dream 'cos this is surprisingly nice. Be keen to hear your thoughts. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered whether to mention it but in fairness the picture I shared here which clearly showed the problem was one he had sent to me. It was there in plain sight and I still sent the cash. Anyway it plays like a dream. I've not put it down since it arrived 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
