I made the mistake of waiting for matrimonial approval, and it got snatched :(. Ah well, plenty of cheap squier tele's out there.

I'm selling this right now :wave:

It's quite a nice guitar actually, if it doesn't sell this time around I'll just keep it I think. Only reason I'm selling is because I always reach for my Strat's so it's just lying in the case under our bed.

Paid 799 for mine (in 2012?). $1000 for a squier is a bit rich.
Mind, $1200 for an epiphone lp is a bit thing too when the se standard line is still 3 figures. :wink:

Urf, think ... no, no - I’m not gassing for anything.

I'm gassing for a cool somethin'. There are a couple of cool somethin's around but I know as soon as I buy one a better one will appear. Also, both of the present cool somethin's are a smidge over budget.

Not superior to me. Kind of like a German car that does everything well, except have charm, character and personality - give me a flawed muscle car anyday.

I hear ya. I don't think 'Sympathy for the Devil' could ever have been written on a PRS. I'd whack a rusted Bigsby on that Custom, drop four stone and get my Keef on. :-)

Yeah, I'm taking the piss, but still somewhat right in saying that. My German ancestry loves the PRS precision, my other English/Irish/Scottish ancestry just wants to drink and party, with the old timey pioneering Fender/Gibson instruments my heros play.
