Hi everyone, here is my collection of guitars. I also own a Jackson RR24 which is not pictured here.

First is my Squier Stratocaster. It was made in 1989 in the Samick factory in Korea. Interestingly, it has "SAM", my name and also presumably short for "Samick" printed in the neck cavity of the ...

When he joined Suede, he picked up the 355/335 to play Dog Man Star tracks. In recent times, he's had the lot out and has played a JM too.

Ahh that's interesting, I thought he already had a 355/335 because he was already a massive Bernard Butler wannabe (which is fair enough).
Did NOT know he ...

If a guitar feels good to me, I couldn't care less what it says on the headstock. But if that's something that matters to you, that's your business, your money. You can expect take a little heat for it around here, but it's all in good fun. Maintain a sense of humor and a thick skin and you'll get ...

Oh boy. He darn said he's not proud to have the headstock say billy squier.
I don't mind people that do. I own an 88-92 Korean Squier Strat which is a lovely guitar. Maple neck, vintage white, sounds and plays superb. It's just if I get another guitar now, I'd rather get one that I'm 100% happy ...

Reverb

Whether it's foreign depends on where you are, I guess.

Thanks that was.... really helpful, but I did manage to find the website and it could be useful depending on shipping costs

You should check out my previous post, it might be worth putting a 500k pot in there for more clarity :)
Also whereabouts in Manchester you from bud? Bury lad here

Cheers man. I take it this would change the character of the neck SC though as well? I'm pretty happy with the SC. I think I ...

They are seriously cool. Are you UK based? I'd like to order a couple if so, I reckon postage would be too high from USA though.
In terms of what else to put in them, I'd say small shards of different coloured broken glass, glitter and other shiny colourful stuff.
Have you ever thought about making ...

Can't really offer any advice, but would like to get your opinion on the jb in the bridge. I have a kc mustang too, but i really don't get on with the jb. I find it very dark, and almost muffled when i play clean. It's been a long time since i played with hambakers. Do you find this issue too ...

Hi, I have had a KC Mustang for a while now and love the guitar. Recently I have been wanting to replace the neck pickup for a noiseless pickup. It has a JB in the bridge and I think it came with 250K pots. I play mainly classic rock. My main problem with the current one is that it sounds a bit ...

Reverb? Shipping but might still be a good deal
Sorry mate what do you mean by Reverb? Is that a foreign website for used guitars? :)

Hey, no problem. I just did a quick search, and it looks like they are in fact true to vintage spec on the radius. I'm by no means the expert though, so I'd look ...

The Squiers also have a different radius ("modern" 9.5" as opposed to 7.25). I'd just keep an eye on craigslist. You probably won't find any deals on eBay. Don't underestimate a trip to the local guitar shop though; I found my '64 mustang when I just happened to be at the local store when the guy ...

It's all part of the cycles of guitar popularity. In the Britpop days, semis ruled the roost. Very few of those bands had Jaguars in their midst, Richard Oakes with Suede being the only one who comes to mind who plays one. Now with shoegazing/dream pop etc Jags and JM's are perhaps as popular as ...

Squier. But you also won't find beat to hell ones because they came out less than 2 years ago.
Cheers for the info, I've played a few of the Squiers and they're actually really pretty nice, it's just that if I get another guitar I want it to be one I want to proudly own forever. And owing to my ...

Damn, oh well luckily I'm in no rush and have other stuff to sell first anyway so I guess I'll just keep my eye out for a good deal

On mustangs is so hard these days!
Sorry, this thread is basically just to introduce myself and moan about how hard it is to get a good deal on mustangs in the UK.
I've had my white (maybe olympic, maybe vintage, whatever it's called) '69 reissue mustang for nearly 10 years, and my sonic blue (or ...
