I posted a longer "happy birthday" thread at the Other Place where they are more into photo-erotica, but my main squeeze turned 40 on the weekend. I've had this one since 2009 and nothing has beaten it yet.

Very elegant.

I didn't even realise Squier was around 40 years ago.

Interesting

Yeah they started in 1982 alongside the Fender Japan line. First year or so have serials beginning with JV, this one has an SQ serial which began in 1983. Neck date in pencil too:

I’ve owned a Squier Bullet MIJ that dated to 1984 I think. Paid $200 and parted the poor thing….sold the loaded body on eBay for about what I paid and threw the neck on a newer Squier Standard Tele I sold to Dillon. Definitely a 2008 Nick thing to do

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Tele custom from that era besides yours

[MattK]

They were domestic only I think - mine came from Japan via eBay.

It's funny that at this point your guitar is just a tad younger than the model it was "an import rip off" of. I mean it's almost as vintage as 70s fenders, and it's probably better made. Nice guitar, strong Keith vibes.

That’s nice!

Some Friday night couch playing and these two looked photogenic together.

[MattK]

A quick couple of family photos of my current guitars (Martin excepted). Pretty happy with this selection TBH.

I forgot you had that blue SG, it's gorgeous! Makes me regret selling my Epiphone EB-3 in the same colour. It was horrible to play though haha, it just looked great.

[NickD]

Luckily this plays nicely. Definitely my prettiest guitar though.

I am erect after seeing both that SG and your record collection. Defo need a catch up Mr D.

[sunshiner]

That's one sexy SG, NickD. Are those nylon saddles or am I mistaken?

I’d enjoy that.

You’re correct, nylon saddles. Standard spec I think.

Really, it doesn't get any better than this.
