Just bought this Squier Standard to mess about with, didn't know Squier made half decent guitars alongside the catalogue jobs.Going to get some of these Gold pickups so I can get all Hank Marvin with it.

Current Squier's represent very good vfm and are no longer as hit and miss as they used to be. Others to look out for are the MIJ's and the Korean "S" models. Just a pickup change is all that's usually required to make a very good guitar if you can live without the F word on the headstock and as some of the modern ones are fitted with alnico's you might not even have to do any mods at all. Enjoy.

A very classic looking offering we made for Joe .We wanted to capture a lightly faded 59 LP vibe, but with all the creature comforts and refinements that we like to add:

Three piece quartersawn neck, volute , Dunlop 6100 frets, Earvana Compensated tuning nut, Sperzel tuners, TonePros tunamatic bridge and tailpiece studs, and a lightweight aluminium tailpiece.

Turned out very nicely too!

The pickups are a pair of Bare Knuckle Pickups Mules wired via a harness with CTS/BKP 550k pots and a pair of Jensen paper in Oil caps - although the neck tone is a CTS500k push pull that coil splits the neck pickup for singel coil sounds.

Looks really good. Sperzels good choice. You just have to learn to play it. A guitar like that deserves something more than "classic blues rock" pentatonics;)
