I wish I had Claptons tone even on his worst day .. to crap on his tone is a fraking joke ..I gotta laugh at this thread .. just proves why people think this forum is lame sometimes .. yeah I know its just your opinion and all that but for gods sake give your brain a chance , some of you should...

MARNOLD Sorry Marnold , cant agree there.. Squires from the 83-86 era were some of the best Fenders built period , and have become quite sought after .. and thats the basis of my argument with the whole recent quality thing .. there is no comparison with a jv squire from the early made in...

Great points guys , and please dont get me wrong , I can see that the folks round here are quite capable of fine tuning and modding a inexpensive guitar to amazing levels . But what i find is that you have to go through a bunch of guitars in order to find a good one in terms of the things you...

What ever happened to the days when Squires were actually great bargans and very good quality . These made in korea , indonesia and china Squires are nothing but a pale reflection of their former products . Crap hardware and electromics and fit and finish that would make you believe they were...

Thanks for the advice ,mercury tone clone on order , will let you know how it works out , apparently Mercury will blueprint and rebuild my old one as well , but I think I will take 6S9L's advice and just hang on to it in case

Funny my earworm seems to be gone, hmmmm she was a show girl hmmm

As I got in my car this morning the very first thing I heard as i turned on the ignition and the radio came on was Donovan's 60's classic "MELLOW YELLOW" . Dammed if I cant get that out of my head , now I respectfully pass the earworm on to you in hopes of it leaving me I'm just mad about...
