I took some pics, but they did not capture the gold well, so I got a better phone camera app and will retry. Also, got the axe strung up with D'addario NYXL 10s. It plays a lot better, sounds better and I highly recommend these strings. It also got a truss rod adjustment, and some extra tension put on the floating bridge. As for the pickups. The output was low, so I had the pickup height reset. The poles come out pretty high, so if you get one of these things, it can be worth paying for a pro setup job in all honesty. If I was to upgrade anything it would be the tuners. They are pretty cheap looking and tend to slip. Anyone do that on theirs? I'd keep with the gold color scheme of course.

Hi all. Tracked down the last 60th Anniversary gold Squier strat at my local GC last week and wow I was blown away. The price was $319, and I simply did not expect it to play with such great action and have such a fantastic tone. The neck pickup position with the tone rolled off a hair provides an incredible authentic strat tone for blues, and it records like a dream. I am pretty sure it came strung with 9s which are a little too thin for my hands (I play bass mostly, but have played guitar for over 20 years) so I think 10s will take it to another level. Im thinking GHS nickels may be just the ticket. My style on guitar is blues/Jazz/Funk type fusion and my ideal tone is clean into a fender amp with some reverb on it. Honestly stunned that a guitar at this price point can play this well (action is perfect, fret job is perfect) and sound this good AND record this well. My perspective comes from selling an American Corona Telecaster which was pretty nice but I much prefer the Squier. Raves adise, I do notice a thing I need to have adjusted - The B and high E do not have the output of the D and G string. Seems like a pickup adjustment is needed. I think ill have that fixed when I get it setup with 10s. Anyone have the low output issue?
