Members Funkytone Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Did Fender feel it was hurting sales of more expensive guitars?? Hell it probably was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay sails Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 They'll probably let our collective GAS build up, then soak us by releasing a '51 at a drastically increased price. It will be a '51/'07 Re-re-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 One of the funnest guitars ever made!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members go cat go Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I swapped the black guard on mine for a GFS pearl white. I play her a whole lot more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor Morbius Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I wonder if there are any unmolested/un-violated/un-modded still in exsistence? Yup. Just saw a few boxes of them for $100 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doctor Morbius Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I tell you our 51s will be worth thousands one day, thousands!Mine won't be worth thousands as I plan to play the living {censored} out of them. I'm going to relic them the old fashioned way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I got mine when they went to $99. I love it. I'm thinking about a new pickguard to replace the black one (mine has the blonde finish). Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members go cat go Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 DonK - Get a mint one. My guitar Fetish one almost dropped right in. I just had to drill a few new holes. Doc Morbius - Where did you see these? I would love to get another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Minitruth Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 Probably the electric I play the most. The neck is perfect for me and I like the coil tapped HB. Only thing I changed was the bridge for a GFS. Oh, yeah- a summer dress and shoes, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seven58 Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I wonder if there are any unmolested/un-violated/un-modded still in exsistence? I don't know this person on eBay, I just noticed the deal when I was looking for one a few weeks ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/Squier-by-Fender-51-Strat-Tele-Electric-Guitar-BLACK_W0QQitemZ110184672635QQihZ001QQcategoryZ47070QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThey seem to have several of the black ones. Sorry if that should be in the Hot Deals thread... I wasn't really thinking of it as hot deal as much as I was thinking of it as an answer to a question. I ended up getting a black one from Sam Ash for $99 (they don't have anymore) and a sun burst from a guy on eBay for $99 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to get the black to complete my set! I often think that if they'd removed the "Squier" name off the headstock, I'd have been happy spending upwards of $400 for that axe. I just think they sound great into a nice warm Fender-ish style amp. But I've also heard some amazing clips here with one played in a metal fashion.

Members GAS Man Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 The one I have sounds so good I'm afraid to mess with it. I agree, that's part of the marvel of it. They managed to get two pickups together that not only evoke a ton of Fender vibe to them, but the neck and bridge pups sound good whether playing them separately, or blended together in either of the bridge series or split mode. Pretty amazing for the price of admission. I mean, you could head out to the DiMarzio or Duncan after-market to mod these things and easily do worse than their stock components. Not saying you couldn't do better, but you could easily do worse for compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just kind of works the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
