[quote name='songofthewind' timestamp='1505940442' post='3375430'] Tasty. I loves me a Strat. Brown tort guard, mebbe? [/quote] I was considering a change of guard but actually a change of circumstance has led me to put it up for sale on here.

Basshead's wall of shame - including some filthy 70's Porn

A very fine collection -
Black Strat body, decent quality. Very recently purchased for a planned winter project but the Squier neck that I have doesn't fit. In good, used condition. Complete with output socket and strap buttons. There are a couple of dings that have been touched in by a previous owner, this has been done quite well and unless you really look, they don't show. Difficult to photograph but I've tried. This was sold to me as a Squier but given that the neck pocket is around 58 mm wide, I'm not so sure. Maybe some models had a wider pocket, or perhaps a past owner has altered it. Anyway, please keep in mind that if you want to fit a standard Fender or Squier neck, unless you install some veneer shims, there will be a gap. £25 NOW ONLY £20 collected from my place in Herts. If you need it posted the courier charge will be £15.99. -

There are a whole load of artists I could list but that doesn't mean they are overrated, just that they don't appeal to me. So, for that reason I'm out.

A mid week bump.

[quote name='HarryPotter' timestamp='1505128071' post='3369605'] Does this have the v neck profile? [/quote] Yes it does. Fender actually describe it as a soft v neck profile.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1504961700' post='3368585'] Bridge is back, neck is front [/quote] Nothing else to add, Lozz has brought this thread to an end

I only very recently purchased this after quite a lengthy search for the right one. It is a great instrument but a change in circumstance means that I have decided to stick with my lesser valued G&L. I suspect that this could be one that I end up regretting selling, so I reserve the right to change my mind. I've worked on plenty of U.S. Strats and I honestly think that this guitar is the equal and better than many of them. The neck and fretwork is exceptionally good. Weight is 8lb. Anyway, here is the spec: U.S.A. Custom Shop Designed, built in Mexico 2010-11 Stratocaster. Finished in Shoreline Gold, which is in as new condition. All hardware and truss rod function perfectly. Set up properly and fitted with a brand new set of Fender 10's. Locking vintage style tuners. American Pickups. Vintage style saddles. Aged white control knobs. Deluxe gig bag, owners manual and hang tags etc. PRICE DROPPED TO £575. Will consider a trade for a good Telecaster. Ideally cash on collection from my place in Herts. Bank Transfer or Pay Pal also acceptable (buyer to cover the fees). As I don't have a hard case, I would prefer collection. If posting is required then the courier charge will be an additional £16. I will probably opt for removing the neck and bubble wrapping everything, prior to boxing up but we can of course, discuss options. More pics available, I'm happy to email them.

Heating as advised by Kodiakblair can work well. I would advise against using water though, I managed to ruin a guard doing just that. A hair dryer is what I use these days.

Nice, well done. I've had a couple of Pacificas and with a decent set up and a few little upgrades they were good enough to gig with. It's a scary moment when you hear that crack isn't it? Had it with a customer's Yamaha bass, when I was adjusting the truss rod. Like you, I thought it had broken but it is just the nut loosening after having been locked in position for years.

I'm not a five string player but did borrow a Dingwall fiver for a while. It was very light, lighter than many of the four string basses that I've owned, balanced nicely on the strap and for me, the neck/fretboard was very comfortable.

Happy to add to the good feedback for Nick. A real pleasure to deal with.

I've bought a few on Ebay from Guitars Electric. Quality has been good.

Haven't listened to Can in many a year but they were regularly listened to back in my youth.

Sounds like a good piece of kit

Certainly one of the good guys and also extremely knowledgeable

Feel very sad. Topics merged.

This should have found a new home by now bump. It's a great case and not expensive.

The longest screws would be in the saddles that sit the highest, so as not too much is poking out to lacerate your hand Not really a problem, if it worries you, either cut/file it down a little or buyer replacements.
-
That does look messy, even if you cure the existing problem, to me it looks as though it has the potential to let you down. If you are not handy with a soldering iron, my suggestion would be to contact BC'er Kiogon and get him to supply you with one of his solderless looms. It will look lovely and of course, work perfectly.

Very lovely

Another bump

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1503913232' post='3361453'] Those Muse blokes are quite handy. Did they ever amount to anything? [/quote] No, think they still knock about the Torquay pub scene.
