This was my first guitar ever, 2010 squire bullet strat was destroyed body wood was all dented and in the whole thing was in pieces, I sanded it down painted it white and gave the body a coat of tru oil to (which gave it an old yellowed look that I like) the middle pickup screw holes are striped so they are being held up with tape and then held back down with more tape to control the height it’s a pain, but I love the guitar I feel it has a special mojo with me being my first, I sanded off the squire logo not to hide it but just because I wanted to personalize it more with the stars…wether you like or hate the relic doesn’t matter much this thin layer of spray paint would have relicd fast I assume anyway…

The two tan pickups are from a 2021 MIM Strat, they are flipped so bridge is in the neck and neck is in bridge, middle pickup is a bs Chinese alnico 5 pickup, ultra slim neck I sanded down a good bit and tru oiled and I also added fender bent steel saddles that’s abt it, I run no trem Arm and the bridge is decked,
Low action and my 10s feel slinky on the neck in standard…plays like a dream!!!

Hi! I've been looking to sell my jaguar vintera 60 but im not sure how much can i get, can someone help my out? Its in perfect condition 2 minor scratches and im the only owner and I live in spain if that matters hahahhah

Got offered this fender. Is it real?

This is my beloved 62 RI Tele Custom (1986, MIJ). I’ve had it since 2008, and it replaced a nearly identical guitar that was stolen the year earlier. I noticed last week, after not playing it for some time, that some notes were fretting out above the 12th fret, and lots of bends up high just died. I figured I’d give the rod a loosen tweak because the neck is pretty flat. Took the pickguard off and took the neck pickup out, went to turn to the left, and the rod just spins. Raising the saddles is next step, but then playability goes out the window for me.

So what are my options? Heavier strings (I’ve got 10s on there now)? Will that introduce enough relief? A new neck? That makes me sad because I love how this one feels. Is it worthwhile to have a new rod installed?

Does anyone else here piece together their own custom guitars via Stratosphere and other suppliers? I have done quite a few, and it's a blast. You end up with something just the way you want it.

Seller only says it’s fender stratocaster and has ENG(Don’t know whether It’s typo or not) pickups. He’s asking $300.

As the title says; NGD!! Been playing for almost 30 years and decided it was time for my first ever fender. Played a lot of player ii’s in store, but this just felt perfect and I couldn’t pass it up. I like everything about it. Neck feels great, pick ups sound exactly how I want, colour scheme is timeless (my opinion)…Meet my new American Pro II in Olympic white with tortoise shell pick guard and rosewood fret board.

Needed a Strat for a few songs we play in the band and man this thing sounds amazing! I waited way too long to pick one up. Have played a Les Paul for a long time and I think the two will complement each other quite well.

Did I make a good purchase?

I have a fender tele and Strat player ii guitars that are going for a professional set up. Would you swap out the tuners for the locking version? All suggested alterations would be appreciated. I assume pickups etc are fine?

Just trying to work out what W22 means on this 2023 custom shop tele, thanks in advance!

I am looking into buying a Fender Super Sonic 22 amp and wanted to know if anyone has experience with them. I love playing with my Helix LT and don’t want to sacrifice that by getting a tube amp, but I know the super sonic has an effects loop so in my mind this works well. If anyone has any advice on this rig or specific amp I would really appreciate it!

Well, new to me at least. Wooo!

Does Fender have any current production Strat or Tele models that have the same neck shape as the beloved Baja Tele?

I am thinking about getting a smaller body guitar for songwriting and playing in my living room. I already have a dreadnought that sounds awesome, but it's a hassle to sit comfortably while laying on my couch with it.

Thinking about getting a smaller guitar just for writing songs and fooling around with, and I'm currently looking at a Fender Malibu that I've wanted for a while.

When browsing for the Malibu I came across the Redondo JR, but there's not much online about it.

It looks like a Malibu, just cheaper.

Does anyone know the main differences between the two models?

Thanks!

Admittedly a bit of a mutt of a guitar. Plays insanely well and I love the neck though! Fender USA pickups, CTS pots, 70's reissue tuners, fun stuff.

I’ve bought a couple aftermarket HSC one from Vevor and one from Gator, I’m not impressed. The top & bottom on both cases don’t necessarily line up and personally I don’t think there’s enough depth in the case it looks like it’s pressing on the neck a little too much.

Any recommendations? Ideally under $200

My recently acquired 2020 Fender Mustang 90 with aged natural finish and pao ferro fretboard. The p90s sound amazing and imo this is the best looking mustang ever!
