Members Steve Matthews Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I don't see the discount. Is this the deal where you have to be registered as a professional musician?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tkachuk07 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 It's $30 off on all Squiers. If you order one the price should come up $119. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crank-N-Jam Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 You have to put it in your cart before seeing the discount. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the Squier Black & Chrome Tele. For $169 shipped, I just can't pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bloozcat Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 It does come up as $119.95 when you order it, and also says on the order page that it comes with the "free gift" gig bag. I ordered one this morning, and that's the way it went. Get on it! It's too good a deal to pass up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jimi Ray Halen Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 A decent guitar for less than the price of a concert ticket. Times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tkachuk07 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 A decent guitar for less than the price of a concert ticket. We need to outsource are bands to China & Korea. These US, UK, & CDN bands charge too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find that to save my behind. I went ahead and hit it. For $120 and a case, it's hard to go wrong. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IdaCrue Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 I just ordered a black one......Don't need another guitar, but for $120 with a gig bag who could pass it up. From all reviews it seems like a guitar worth having in the stable. Thanks for the heads up on this guitar..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rotren Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Click your way over there and buy one ASAP! They don't ship to Canada, or else I'd consider getting another one. These babies are great guitars. I just got a black pickguard for my Blackie, love this guitar. It just sounds so good. The neck is the best part (no I'm not a vampire).

Members AtomHeartMother Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Anyone know how long this sale lasts? That is an unbelievable deal. My sister is looking for a cheap guitar and I was going to recommend that she gets one of these. At $120, it's the only choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Highway_61 Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, I agree, AHM, and that's why when things got hectic for me, I postponed my taling pictures of the Eastwood. I really think the 51 would be a better buy at this particular time. The Eastwood is great, but everything I read, and rotren's site, convince me that the 51 is a versatile guitar, and that would allow your sister to grow with the guitar.

I just ordered the vintage blonde which unfortunately ships with a white pickguard. Can you tell me where you picked up the black pickguard and how much it set you back?I was planning on going to www.pickguards.com, but since they custom cut them from tracings, they're not too cheap.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rotren Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 I got it from a guy who found my website and offered to send it to me. He got the wrong pickguard from where he ordered his '51, so he asked for them to send him the correct guard, and they did. He therefore ended up with 2 of them, and sent me the one he didn't need. I'm thankful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's about what I guessed (and maybe a 10 spot or so higher).I got a price quote once on the phone and remembered it was up there.I'm first going to get a new pg from them for my Peavey Reactor (telel copy).I imagine the price varies a bit depending upon your material/color choice.Which pattern did you go with for your tele at $70?And were you happy with the fit?

Members Fill Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Originally posted by Steve Matthews I just ordered the vintage blonde which unfortunately ships with a white pickguard. Just out of curiosity, how do you know that they ship with a white pickguard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Matthews Posted September 2, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Originally posted by Fill How do you know that they ship with a white pickguard? Three reasons: 1) I saw one at a local store that was blonde with a white pickguard. The store clerk said that's the way they are coming in. He said it was probably a cost savings measure so they would only have one pickguard to screw on in the assembly line. (Every penny counts on these thin margin guitars) But I did play it, and it sounded nice. 2) If you look at the Fender site or any other on-line dealer, it will show the black pickguard, but if you read the "specs" it will say "single ply white pickguard". Some of the on-line dealers have separate pages for each color, and the white pickguard spec is always repeated. 3) I've posted this comment several times here on HC and nobody has ever refuted it. There is one post (maybe in this thread) where someone bought one with the black pickguard, but he explained that they are shipping them that way to the U.K. I think it's really nuts. It messes up the whole '51 bass vintage resemblance scheme. But if you don't already have a sufficient supply of two-tone or black guitars, then no problem. I went with the blonde anyway. I will probably just suffer the cost of getting a custom replacement later on down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them with both - my guess would be they started assembling before the black PGs were ready, or they ran out and used the white for awhile, so it's depending on the batch made, not where they are shipping to.
