solo4652 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Don't like the look of that neck pocket crack. Also, appear to be cracks around bridge, which would be an unusual place for damage, wouldn't it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153681082839?ul_noapp=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 One of my pet hates is "Squire"... As for this particular one, it's not worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to do a 180 degree flip from 'not a bad price for an old MIM' to 'that is an overpriced Squier'. Yes - I'm not into "upbranding". However, Fender do put "by Fender" on some of their models. Epiphone are even worse and put a "Gibson" TRC on some of theirs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I suspect the motive is increasing the search parameters rather than 'upbranding' - if you search for Fender this would pop up in the results. Then the punter would think 'Gosh, I was going to buy a Fender but this Chinese Squier came up and I think I'll buy that!' Although, tbf, I have previously owned both a '79 Fender Musicmaster and a 'Vista Series' Squier Musicmaster and preferred the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 OTOH, I find it annoying when I'm searching for something and I get search & browse manipulation; if ebay had an ignore button for sellers I think I'd use it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
