Fuck you, Gordon Brown!P.S. Anyone got the specs for that Telecaster neck? It doesn't look like the usual 'C' shape to me.

Is that photograin or real? LULZMike wrote:+1Sublimedo wrote:Now that's a high end squier for real. It's really great.
Bet people still find stuff to moan about though, tragically.
Completely getting one of those duos when they appear on ebay in the US... and no-one can stop me!

That's a good idea actually, if you dodge customs you'll have a sodding steal.timhulio wrote:Is that photograin or real? LULZMike wrote:+1Sublimedo wrote:Now that's a high end squier for real. It's really great.

Are you buying that Musicmaster from Sublimedo by the way? I just can't afford it, regardless how well it was priced to the Shortscale crew.
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 8:28 am
Yes I bought that bigstyle. I've been after one of those musicmasters for ages, especially an unmodified one, because I've got a vista musicmaster neck on my Duo-type guitar and it's great.
Unfortunately, due to harsh new one-in, one-out legislation I've got to lose this silver hagstrat.

I love that Musicmaster but it was the guitar that we really didnt play. Like at all. Mostly due to our excess. Bit of shame cos it really is an awesome guitar. and most of all, it's CUTE!

Both of the squiers are better then the MIM. Go for whichever one looks best to you; they're both great.Wilbur wrote:Warning: Big Question Post...

Get the squier vintage vibe. It's a 50's classic tele made in china. Frankly, Im a little miffed I bought the $630 MIM version a couple years back. I could have scored some other cool shit and waited for the Squier.
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:38 pm
I'm now almost 100% certain thats what I'll do. As tempted as I am to spend the extra 100$ and get a MIM standard, from what I've played and from what you guys are telling me, I should get Classic Vibe and save the 100 bucks to spend on pickups....aen wrote:Get the squier vintage vibe.

yeah dude, that build is probably the best guitar EVER. While MIM standards are great guitars, they lack some.....
um....
MOJO.

yo man, the pickups in the classic vibe are better than in a MIM. MIMs have ceramic pickups. classic vibe are alnico 3. it's pretty much awesome straight out of the box.

Not to derail, but for me its now
Classic Vibe vs. Epi Dot/Firebird vs. this :http://www.zzounds.com/item--IBAAJD91 Artcore.
Other than obvious sound differences, which is the best quality/overall awesomeness wise?

Epiphone makes a Dot/Firebird? whoa, that would be sweet.
Not a fan of that artcore, personally.
I will say epiphone dots are great sounding guitars. I would play it first though.
what kind of sound you looking for?
Telecaster = twangy cleans and biting distortion.
Dot = fuller frequency range.

My bad, I meant I'm looking at the Dot and the Firebird. Honestly I'm still undecided on the sound issue. I could tell you exactly what I would want in a bass, but as for getting my first guitar, I'm just not sure. But if I decide I want a telecaster I'll grab the Squier Classic Vibe for sure.mage wrote:Epiphone makes a Dot/Firebird? whoa, that would be sweet.
