Ngd x 3 !!!!

Well, actually new guitar week. I have acquired all 3 of these Squier Strats in less than week. I didn't set out for 3 guitars but all were good deals. I have less than $400 in all 3 and $200 of that was one, the Classic Vibe.
Heres a couple of hastly taken photos. On the left there is a '95 Korean model Standard in ebony finish. I care for the neck on this one the least but think the pups sound better than the other 2. My long term plan is to upgrade the pups and electronics and add a neck with rosewood fingerboard.
In the middle is a mint Classic Vibe 60s in the seemly hard to find pelham blue finish. LOVE the looks of this guitar but pups are a bit weak. I am thinking Lace Sensors for this one and a bit of steel wool along the back of the neck to remove some of the lacquer.
On the right is a Indonisian made Standard in what I believe to be the Translucent Walnut finish. Being a fan of smaller neck profiles I LOVE the neck on this one. It needs cleaning up and theres extra holes in the headstock where someone added aftermarket tuners but I'm gonna keep this neck a while. My plan is to make this one a Double Fat Strat and add a couple of Duncans.

I think I could force myself to buy 3 Strats for less than $400. Very well done, that's some excellent horse trading!

Re: Ngd x 3 !!!!

very cool, makes me miss my 'Steve Vai Green' Squier I gave to my nephew, dang!!

Long time ago, I scored a gig with a Def Leppard Tribute band with this guitar, going thru my brother's VHT Pitbull Ultralead head--my guitar bud also was amazed at the tone I was getting from it , too [S-S-H config], Squiers are underrated gems!!

HNGD x 3 ! Great deal for 3 guitars!

That first boob pic had a really nice rack but that 2/3 mustache kept distracting my attention! WTH is it my vision or maybe my screen needs cleaning?
