Squire Deluxe
I have a really nice pearl white metallic Squire Deluxe as most of you know and it has the duncan design pups.
I was wondering what the ** the 'nameless' headstock ** is. I haven't encountered this detail as I can recall, but my memory is not what it once was. My headstock says Squire Stratocaster and Fender in small print directly under Squire. What a neat guitar.
What a nice guitar. I'm not the great guitarist that many of you are and have only been taking guitar seriously since I retired, lessons and such, and I am getting 1000 time better 1000 times faster by taking lessons as I have heard as advice before. It's true. Quality lessons taken seriously and practiced will take you places you would not have gotten to on your own for a long time, if ever. So I guess "lessons" are a mind altering experience. And they're legal.
I want to record some of my playing onto clips using my Acid software. I think I'm good enough to share some of my soul and music, even though it isn't fabulous but some might find it interesting, simple, complex, undisciplined, etc. I have been a drummer for approx. twenty years and learned from a very excellent drummer that now plays an old set of Rogers drums with a 26 inch bass. This dude has been playing since he was 11 and is 58 and plays every day. Interesting fact he shared with me a couple days ago: Fender made the old Rogers drums. I didn't know that. Anyway, my sense of timing really helps me with guitar. Half the time I don't even tap my foot because I intuitively know where I am with my time, even though I get out of time sometimes anyway, just like on the drums.
Any way I want to post some clips. I'll use my Deluxe and also my used Squire trans satin crimson mahogany body HH strat w duncan designed buckers. This thing is neat and flawless. I can't find any scratches no matter how small and w no pickguard, no belt buckle mars, no fret dirt on the maple fingerboard, even plastic on the tuners, IC05*** serial number. I think I got a new guitar for 130 dollars. I put in a trem bar and it is super sensitive. Used a teflon dental floss around the threads to remove the looseness of it so it is really sensitive with no slop.
These Squires are way better than I ever thought they would be. Reminds me of that Buffalo Springfield lyric: "There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear ... We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down". Something is going on. Those Squires are getting way better and I don't think it is widely known or appreciated; it's not like Epiphone is to Gibson, yet, but it is definitely going that way. These Squires are super nice. I played that new rails one and it was really neat. I bought a new Squire II P90's, really nice, reverse noisless in middle switch position.
I'm really enthusiastic about it and congratulate you on your Squire Deluxe. Didn't you get a Squire II as well?
