Modded Squier Mustang for $250, Good deal?

Post by alexryzhkov »

Here's the link http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/msg/4685232269.html

So I was looking to buy a used japanese Mustang, and I found a couple red ones on eBay for around $400, but I later saw this on craigslist.

I was planning getting a used Duncan Hot Rail for $40 and upgrading the pots for $20, but this is $210 cheaper and it already ready to play. Will it be worth it? Im planning on testing it in a day.

that's a good price even without the upgrades.

Looks like a great deal, more or less the Fender Cobain Mustang for way less. On a different note, why do Craigslist posters feel the need to post descriptions in all caps? It's an instant turn off, I just feel like if I ever met them they'd just start talking very loudly in a monotone at me.

It's a good deal. The Squier Stangs play well. I will prolly get one myself for a modding project.

ugh bad news, I texted the seller and I was gonna meet him tomorrow and we agreed on everything, but someone saw it and grabbed it an hour later :c
I actually saw one of these exact same guitars with basically the same mods, sell on eBay for about $330, so it's a bummer :cry:
