Plenty of room there to put an EMG by the bridge. Maybe a Floyd Rose too.

"the same as buddy holly's strat".

so fucking what? it isn't buddy holly's strat.

they're not particularly attractive, and i'm beginning to regret filling the bridge pickup route in my musicmaster and returning it to stock. i'll never use it. if i want a neck pickup sound i'll probably just switch to said pickup on one of my 2 pickup guitars. gah!

still, i bet it plays nice.

Looks just like my Squier Duo, save the bridge pickup and cover. Mine was only $339 tax included. :P

yup. difference is, until they stop making the squier ones they'll depreciate, while the vintage ones will keep going up.... but unless you bought one for £200 in 1993 you're bumped. probably.

What is your musicmaster? Interested in selling it? I need to buy a guitar like that. PM me if you like.

I saw that you were on a stag weekend just after I posted it. No harm done.
