Members Snambo Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 The one on the right. lol Actually that mini strat gets used a lot. It's perfect for keeping beside my desk so I can have some instant stress relief when needed. Just a little bit nut modification and heavier strings was all that was needed make it right. Sounds very stratty. A lot of bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members animalwithin Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 This started life as a Classic Vibe Thinline which I picked up cheap cause I loved the body on it. Currently its under a full transformation, 6 saddle Gotoh bridge, 4 way switch, Seymour Duncans and a solid rosewood neck. Since the picture was taken the wiring is all done, just need to reshape the headstock and its finished I dont think I have ever seen a pickgaurd as awesome looking as that!!! Are they common on Squire tele's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Probably my favorite '51 project ever EVER! Thanks! Coming from you it means a lot. This pic is now outdated. I have better knobs, plus a chickenhead for the PU selector (HUGE improvement IMO). I also plan to toss in a MM bridge like that tele custom above since I have an extra. I might ditch the ProTube HB pickup too as it's not quite beefy enough to keep up with the neck single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Texas Noise Factory Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I love this thing. Short scale, Japanese, totally stock. Lotsa fun to play, and a great guitar. One from the 80's. Japanese. Original pickups, but someone has pulled the covers off. Other than that it's totally stock. This is one of my most versatile guitars. Pickups are individually adjustable height wise, and both pickups are coil tapped. My first Squier. 80's, and Japanese. I've written a lot of songs on this one, it's acted as my Strat for many years.

Members A_Gitarman Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've got a couple: My 'Hog Strat; started out life as a plain-Jane front-routed HSS. I gave it a swimming pool route, threw in a couple of GFS humbuckers (it now has a 'Dream 90' in the neck), a GREEN Warmoth p/g that was given to me by a friend, & an LR Baggs X-bridge/ CTRL-X preamp: Then, there's this 80's Korean-made Strat that was given to me. The frets were just about worn down to nothing, but someone had taken the time/ $$$ to upgrade all of the electronics. It has a set of SD pickups (not sure what flavor, but they sound good ) and a push-pull on the volume knob for 7-way switching. I swapped the neck for a cheapie that I found on Amazon, cleaned it up, and threw on a red mirror pickguard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rell Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Holy shit is that some custom work or do these come stock? Also, I'm loving that Squires aren't garbage anymore. I remember being younger and if you bought a Squire you were practically wasting your money. Nobody who owned one got any respect because no matter how skilled you were they'd still sound like garbage and drop tune immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've had a number over the years, including a MIK "Strat II" (have no idea what the "II" was for, it was a pretty standard S-S-S blackie Strat with a maple board), a recent Vintage Modified Thinline Tele (the one with the Gibby-scale neck and rosewood board) I played for a few months while flipping it, an '80's MIJ blonde Tele that was one of my main giggers for awhile, and a Tom Delonge Strat (bought specifically to flip and never gigged or even played, except to check repairs). Down to one Squier currently, my first decent bass, an '80's MIJ "E" series Precision Bass, bought for a Benjamin with a cheapo chipboard case: Playing in 2007: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmc69 Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 How do you like that HS Obey Tele? It was alright. Nothing really special, IMO. I just liked the graphics.Neck was OK, but I just couldn't like it. Sold both the tele and strat obey guitars about a few months after I got it.
