NGD: (another) Squier Affinity Telecaster

For a second I thought the red tape was some sort of Cool Ultra Wide ™ pickup I’d never seen before lol

[Doog]

Nice one Freddy, the colour combo is very "you" (I mean that in a good way)

[Freddy V-C]

hahahaha, get fucked.

[Noirie.]

Don’t joke about that. He’d be spinning in his grave about the lack of B&B.

I was waiting for someone to ask about BOG.

[Doog]

I prefer the Micro BOG tbh

[Bacchus]

I'd normally hate that guard but that looks cool. Does indeed look like a freddyvc signature model.

Glad to see how dark the board is too.

[BillClay]

That pickguard and pink combo is god tier

[Thom]

Not a combination I would have thought of in a million years, but it works!

[dezb1]

The pickguard looks like one of those stereogram things, like if you looked at it long enough you'd see a ship.

[Hurb]

I like it!

[Freddy V-C]

Five years on, a few changes! The Bareknuckle Brute Force unexpectedly worked great for Beige Palace, but didn't quite cut it for Thank. With our onstage volume it was feedback city. Thank is the only band where I play guitar now, so I've been hoping to find something that matches the stock pickup in the Ibanez Iceman I mostly gig with. Gonna try a DiMarzio Super Distortion on for size for a little while. I've also gotten to a point where I pretty much need a kill switch for the Thank live set, so I decided to go even more basic than the single-volume setup. I've swapped it out for a two-way on-off switch. I love how daft the giant minimalist empty control plate looks.

Band practice ended up getting cancelled this week, so I won't be able to put all this through its paces until next Wednesday. But I'm very excited.

[Bacchus]

That looks fun!

The killswitch only control plate is madness and I love it.

Everyone's fave metalcore act Killswitch Single-And-Ready-To-Mingle

I've told my guitar tech pal that we should make a comically oversized plate and keep the switch the same size.

Sorry Doog, I'm already spoken for. Killswitch Engaged, you might say.

[Bacchus]

Ha, yes.

I want an amp that accompanies this guitar.

I say go the other way, and make it a big honky horn jutting out of the plate
