These are very nice! Not for me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Tuners missing ferrules and looking well wonky, and no pic of rear of headstock - tread very carefully if you feel tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlovellbass Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Those ferrules are not easy to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Definitely a bit of a project, fair enough if it stays around £100 or thereabouts. Are the solid colour Silver Series Squiers the ones with MDF bodies? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Jon, I think the Silver Series were basswood or similar. I had an E series Jazz that was MDF. It actually sounded fantastic, just weighed too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 There do seem to have been a few Silver Series about that were made with MDF. I was a little sceptical when I first saw some pictures, thinking maybe the body had been swapped at some point, but since I've seen others reporting the same thing. They appear to have turned up towards the end of production, but that's not to say all the later ones are MDF or that they couldn't have turned up earlier. I've got a Silver Series Precision in white and it's made of basswood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Always been curious when the MDF bodies were around after picking up a (99% certain) Fujigen-built no-name Precision copy, which turned out to be MDF under the rattlecan spray job. I assumed it was from the same era as the cardboard Silver Series, didn't know they used MDF on E-serials too. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
