At least this one cost me nothing, as I sold it and reclaimed every penny. really? r u sure it wasn't an affinity strat? the affinity strats are toys but the squier standard strat i got for 100 bucks, atleast mine is better than fender's mexican strat i can say that still nothing close the my jaguar or tele, it still a legit and playable guitar i can use for jams, band practices and maybe even shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DVaz Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 The winner for me: Kramer Imperial. It looked cool - a knockoff of that hetfield diamond plate cover Put together by down-syndrome chimps wearing oven gloves - the bridge was too far forward and it was IMPOSSIBLE to intonate - couldnt get closer than 1/4 tone out @12th. Returned for a wammy. Also-rans Line 6 Uber metal - my dear {censored} this thing sucks. Sold. Laney TF300 - my 'first proper amp' about 9 years ago. Horrible farty sounds with any attempt at getting a low end in it. Money back. EMG SA's- I put up with these sons of bitches lifeless dull sound for the sake of having an 81 in my jackson for 5 goddamn toneless years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Agreed Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 really? r u sure it wasn't an affinity strat?the affinity strats are toysbut the squier standard strat... Absolutely sure. I remember everything about that guitar. It was a complete waste of money. Now, as a competent guitarist, I could make it work fine, I'm sure, but at the time it was a difficult piece of {censored}, and the only thing that kept it from discouraging me in general about guitar was that I really loved music and wanted to expand beyond drums and keyboard percussion.

Members M1K3999 Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've got nothing, I'm pretty damn thorough when I investigate gear prior to purchase, hence I've been cool with all my purchases/trades so far except one ass hat that ripped me off, and have gotten the better deal on a few trades cause I'm patient and not impulsive. Smart shopping's the rule, 'cause if you don't shop well you might as well wipe your ass with the bills and flush em down the toilet. so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Robinslayer Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 Haha, I been waitin' for this thread. DOD Tuna The worst piece of crap evah! I paid 69 dollahs for it at Harris Music In P'cola for it. Harris would not give me my money back as it was on sale! Harris Music is now gone, but not sadly on my part. I wouldn't even sell this piece of **** to some other poor soul. I have a display sheet I put out with it explaining why, when I Flea Market other stuff! It simply doesn't work. Never did, never will. ( oh it blinkies but takes forever to lock in and then is variable in what it thinks is in tune) (and on the by, This is for "Tony" the Guitar Master setter upper at Harris. I "nevah" forgot how You set this "Noobs" guitar up for him! I would be ashamed to do that to some other "NooB"!) So long,( insert) and don't come back!
