This is a 2011 Fender Squier Telecaster REV KIT guitar that started life as one of 50,000 produced that year. This is also where the similarities end.
I personally played more than a DOZEN of them in the music store before deciding on THIS ONE.She played better than her siblings even BEFORE a proper set up.
The first thing that happened to her when she got home was that the strings were cut, the pick guard was removed and the wiring harness was scrapped chinese pots and all.
American pots and wiring were installed.
Second, the pickups were Ebayed.....
In their place were installed a set of Beautiful MARBLEWOOD pickups wound with Formvar wire for that classic old tele tone on steroids.
Next a BLACK LIMBA pick guard was cut, finished and installed.
She SOUNDS and PLAYS better than ANY Squier tele I've ever played for sure.
Finally, we installed a few Q-Tone Resonant Coils and changed most of the thin, tone strangling wires Fender used and installed some vintage wire.
This is a $100 UPGRADE done for YOU the customer so that you get THE BEST sounding instrument for the money.
To keep the costs down this one comes in a CROSSFIRE GIG BAG and NOT a flight case.
