Frets99 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd buy one but having to replace the strings is a downer. No way. It probably needed to be tuned up too. Who needs junk like that? Don't say things like that while I'm drinking coffee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verne Andru Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 HNGD & HNGD. Those Sheena's are a steal. Pickups are golden. I used some lemon oil on the board. If you want to seal it up, Tung oil should do the trick. J&R has had those V-stack models as low as $84 and they seem to change their prices hourly so it's worth it to keep checking until they have a price you like.

Good thing too, because I ordered a blue one from FA even though I liked the red ones better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Squier Fat Telecaster Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 I like the Sheena. I'd buy one but I don't NEED another guitar so I got me a nice pedal instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdintx Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Me too, it should be showing up today or tomorrow. It's going to be really tough not to open that box until next week.Waiting for Christmas day will be the hardest part. That big box will taunt me mercilessly!

Members Fagmotron 3000 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well, I've been pretty busy but yesterday I got a chance to play around with both these guitars for a few hours. Vstack- I was able to get the action on this thing as low as any other guitar I have ever had, and I've had around 15. It is really fantastic. I am getting used to the onboard distortion, but have actually been using it as an overdrive. What I will do is turn the preamp on but have distortion off, then crank the master volume knob on the preamp. This makes the signal from the guitar a lot stronger, and it will overdrive my FA 881 nicely, as well as my other amps. Sheena-No new developments, but I still love it. This is just a really high quality guitar, and not just "for the money." BTW, the bridges on these are great. There is a ton of travel in the saddles for available intonation, and they allen heads to adjust them are at an angel so they are not directly under the strings so it is easier to access them.
