p.s. Are these bodies thick enough for a full sized steel block? I'd prefer to have a Wilkinson bridge on this.

I guess the genius who listed it forgot to mention "Vista" anywhere in the title or the body of the listing.

It was also listed as Squire, and not Squier.

Whatever! Candy Apple Red is the third best Fender color, after Olympic White and Sonic Blue.

wtf. CAR is not even on the fucking list, let alone third.
honestly though, if you ever consider getting rid of the pickguard, holla.

Sweet nab.
I just don't search for very many guitars, 'cause I can't afford them, even at that steal of a price

I might. I would probably prefer a mint one w/ chrome covers, I only really like tort with Olympic White or black guitars. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the knobs being so close to the edges.

Damn nice grab. Fools were sleeping on this one.
Good time of year to buy from Iowa as well. You won't have to defrost it when it arrives in SD.

Saw that one when it listed. Never dreamt it would go for that price! Well done my friend!
Congrats!

I've got that exact same one. Nice.
Should be enough for a Wilkinson trem block.

Mind you, I missed a Laney 30W valve combo that was on offer for £80 by someone who'd given up gigging.

Mine is exactly like this but with the heel truss rod...... mine has a solid steel bridge block as stock, its an actual Fender stamped bridge .... no need to upgrade...the pickups on the other hand are a tad muddy imo; especially with fuzz...
Good Grab!!!
