I normally view guitars with an adoration verging on the religious

This[^] is just wrong though. This is the one guitar I'd happily set fire to - preferably at the base of a pyre that he was staked out on.

In SO many ways.

Agreed.

With that said, I think anyone's face on a guitar is going a little too far.

That´s because it isn´t a guitar anyway. Not really... Poke tongue | ;-P

Yep, that's all wrong, at all possible levels...

I think we should collect - let say $5 each. Buy the guitar. Burn it an put the video on YouTube...

I'd be willing to bid $10, just for the two-fold pleasure of 1) letting it know that $10 is all anyone would be willing to pay, and 2) enjoying an overpriced but worthwhile bonfire. I'd have to insist on free shipping, though.

Aaaaargh!

I looked to make sure it wasn't an actual Fender (Which could have been disassembled and refinished to reverse the gross insult applied...) When I saw that it wasn't, yes burn the cursed plank that was pulled from satan’s arse and the perpetrators who sold them and get the mailing address of those bought it and burn them too. (Unless they bought it just to burn them... send them extra fuel)

It was broke, so I fixed it.

It's a Squier, which is a cheapy Fender brand owned by Fender. A bit like Gibson/Epiphone. They aren't bad guitars. I think they're all made in China now and there are lot of reasonably-priced, well-made instruments coming from there now.

If you look closely, it isn't a Squier guitar, the headstock shape is wrong and the logo type is wrong. I currently own 2 Squier guitars, a Statndard Tele model and the 60's vibe Strat which are both a cut way above the Squier Affinity series (Which are hit or miss in quality and playabilty) The original Squier Bullet's (With the Tele headstock) are some real nice guitars that are hard to come by these days and I regret selling mine to buy a MIJ Strat.

I, like Pete, adore guitars bordering on religious and have way more guitars than what my wife thinks I should have. Smile | :)

I have a Squier Strat, pretty old, with a tiger maple neck. Your resolution must be better than mine, it sure looked like a modern (Chinese) Squier to me and part of the details talks about Fender and Squier trademarks (I'm afraid I checked as I couldn't understand the price tag!)

The older ones can be nice. You still play?

"FENDER, SQUIER, and the distinctive headstock designs commonly found on these guitars are trademarks of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC)" "Autograph Pros L.L.C. uses authentic SQUIER by FENDER guitars." This may be true of some of the guitars they sell, just not this one. Read the statements carefully, designs commonly found on these guitars, old bait and switch sales trick.

I'm gigging a fundraiser on Saturday with my wife on cello! Smile | :)

I mainly play accoustic (mainly 12 string). I have a Taylor sapele Grand Auditorium 12 string and a L'Arivee mahogany/spruce L-03 6 string. The Squier was a birthday gift from a very good friend this year. I bought a Spider IV 30, but haven't played it much yet. The bridge needs resetting (tuning's a bit off) and I just haven't had the time. My grandkids love it when I blast out on the Crash setting! Smile | :)

How about you?

Guitar and cello, I'll bet that sounds nice. Me, I play guitar in a local band called Neck Plate (Classic rock) we gig 4-5 times a year to offset gear cost, but mostly we just play and drink beer. Wink | ;)

Sounds like a plan. In my younger years I used to dance Morris. I seem to remember beer was strongly involved in that too.

Nobody pays me even beer money these days, I do it for love! When I was about 17/18 (my god, what a long time ago THAT was) the band I was in made a vinyl album (rock/folk) and I came across a listing on-line earlier this year for this rare gem (sold for 43 pounds). I played bass then. <sigh> the memories .

I mostly play Beatles, CCR, Buddy Holly etc. at parties for family and friends, although Pink Floyd and Led Zep creep in when playing with the friend who gave me the Squier. I retire next spring and I hope to get my playing really back in shape (I might even join with a few other old farts and try to get that beer money!)
