Lol I wrote that first thing over my coffee yesterday morning.
Not surprised it’s loaded with typos. Sorry
LOL yup, thank goodness. Thanks!
Per Puisheen's review ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3Kn31XFBNo ) that I watched after I already bought the 2nd one (and me having looked at the first purchased one's pocket), the neck pocket is slanted so not to require a shim. At some point, I'll probably have to remove the neck for some reason or another and check it out to see if it's as shallow.mbene085 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 4:07 pmI'm really glad this one is built better. Still a thick neck heel, but that looks like a reasonable setup to me.
Are those things seriously $600 USD at full price though? I haven't looked at Squiers in local music stores in ages, but that price is just wild to me. $360 sounds completely reasonable though, so I'm glad you got a deal on it.
Glad to hear! Mine works fine, too. Yeah, the desert sand with anodized gold pickguard has been haunting me forever. I've always been a fan of the vintage Duo-Sonic look.Nevets wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 5:36 pmHow's the tremolo on yours? I was planning to put an AVRI trem on my FSR but it's performing far better than I expected. Smooth, not much knocking and it stays in tune.
That desert sand has really grown on me. I've never liked Jazzmasters with maple boards before.
Thanks, Chris! How embarrasing! I thought that it was supposed to come with a bone nut but in my constant perusing of various models, I must have gotten confused re: the nut on this one. Thanks for the clarification! The guitar is now even more awesome!
Sorry to see this! I immediately had a look at the neck plate on mine - thankfully, it's fine.Slurp_Pasta wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:58 amI too am on my second example of this guitar. Here's the situation with the second one:
Neck plate is crooked. Never even seen this before. Looks like the one screw would barely even catch the neck. Also the screws in the vibrato, one stripped out, another not screwed in. Better than the first one which had most of the vibrato screws drilled in at an angle. So much that you could see the body through the vibrato plate holes.
Does that mean you can re-orient the plate correctly after all?Slurp_Pasta wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 7:40 amSo after checking under the hood, it appears the neck plate is crooked due to a ton of overspray around the opening of the body holes. Holes in the body and neck are in the right place.
I would imagine it will be straightened out if I can figure out some way to remove the overspray from the holesSurfysonic wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:40 am

Just use a drill bit the size the holes should be (or slightly smaller) and let that reem it outSlurp_Pasta wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 10:30 amI would imagine it will be straightened out if I can figure out some way to remove the overspray from the holesSurfysonic wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:40 am
