haha... i get it. sarcasm, right?

you'll have to forgive me, im a little slow...

those subtle jabs take a while to sink in.

:wink:
I'm just giving you a Go. I actually really like your project. I think you've definately improved the lil' squier and you've made it much more interesting. Don't let anyone bug you. Just keep doing your thing.

So did you actually play the guitar before you ripped it to pieces?

....please don't tell me you are going to put a fender logo on the headstock? :wink:

someone with a better social skills than you.

I joined this forum because the one I usually go to is getting full of fucking idiots, seems this one isn't much better which is a shame because I have a lot of respect for Mike, Hurb and the shortscale demos.

Say 'who the fuck are you' to my face and see what happens.
Oh, I see. Allright, Macho Man Randy Savage, let me rephrase:

I dunno why Aen said that, but it's no reason to get upset.

Cool mod, but destroys the balance of the guitar and is a struggle to shut the hard case on.

Yeah... I tried a manatee but that was WAY too heavy. Looked cool though.

I decided to just bludgeon the manatee with the neck instead. Not as effective as a boat propeller but still pretty fun...

Cool fullerplast......and thanks for the review and pixs.

I just stumbled upon these on MF today while at work...didn't have time to check in here until I got home.

Anyone else planning on buying one?

$279 hmmmmmmm - my $99 Squire '51 was a great guitar for a great price......this ain't too bad either.

I found the unnecessary "Duo-Sonic" punctuation amusing. But I guess that's original Fender. It gives the headstock a sarcastic quality.

Nah, just putting a Fender decal on a Squier. I can appreciate it's because you're making it ala the "real vintage thang" and not brand snobbery (I hope), but I still find it funny. Horses/courses an' that.

Lulz @ Timmy.. do you have to make air quotes when you order it in the shops?

haha, when I saw the fake cap thing, I was like, "oh no he di'nt!" and the fender logo.... yea.... personally, I would be proud to rock the squier. I think the difference is a lot of us here have the mindset of gigging musicians, so in that context those kind of modifications are kinda gay. but if you are approaching it just as a hobby I can see how it might be cooler.
