Squier Strat

Hi,

Looks can be deceiving. Why dun u head on down to Swee Lee Aljunied & try out e sound. Guitar shapes & sizes may vary, so is the sound. You can get a guitar similar to e one posted in e USA sites, but e sound may come out to be what u do not wan. My best bet - go test it fully b4 u rush to a decision.

Regards,
Gerald

Re: Squier Strat

Why dun u head on down to Swee Lee Aljunied & try out e sound.

yea indeed...thanks for the great advice....

have played a highway strat for a good amount of time and loved it very much compared to the other guitars i've heard and tried.....

was hoping that this and the strat more of less sound the same although i still believe the squier would still have an inferiority in sound but i'm ok with it since i'm paying less oso...

will be going down next week to try...if i love it i'll buy it on the spot! :lol: :twisted:

 

[BlackMoo]

Don't buy on the spot. Push discount...

 

[EmPtYsOuLz]

thats a queir deluexe series strat if i m not mistaken

yeap its a deluxe strat :lol: ......the online reviews of those who have tried and own it seems to be surprising very good....hehe.....but have yet to actually try one......but still i'm still a noob...

the affinity ones are the cheapest lot of the squiers and i only saw one as part of a budget pack...299 for the strat 10 watt amp and tuner.....got pretty bad reponse from ppl whenever i ask bout them...poor finishing and stuff....but not too sure bout it oso...haha

hmm...u mean the special edition telecaster? yea....the sexy black finish and headstock with the chrome....but didn't see any around in SG......and i still prefer the strat...hehe

8O wah bro got any advice/"tactics"? :lol:

 

[BlackMoo]

squier and H1 pickups are different to begin with.

squier models (at least this one) is finished... the H1 has a satin finish instead.

* H1 has 22 frets, this squier has 22 frets. (apologies for the mistake.)

Saddles... (the one at the bridge.. the 6 things below the end of the strings) are different. H1 uses vintage saddles i think while the deluxe uses the flat ones like the picture u put up. imo i prefer the flat ones... easier to maintain.

btw the special edition tele is on sale at luthermusic.[/b]

8O ...thanks for the information! never really knew much...

i see...the H1's using vintage strat pickups and the squier normal alnico pickups.....

hmm...needa try out...haha.....

the mirror pickguard and chrome pickguard are the same thing?

the 2004 special edition squier deluxe strat? this is the one..... :lol:

dunnoe bout the wadever special edition details...but the specifications and affordability seems to click with me... :lol:

 

[mitth]

no theres another one... 2004 also... but it is black and has a mirror pickguard. special edition or limited edition im not sure which one :?

 

[EmPtYsOuLz]

ermz...i believe tt one's a telecaster....haha...saw it as luthers last week

 

[thor666]

not very sure if chrome and mirror are the same.

 

[mitth]

haha, i believe they are the same, as long as you can see your reflection in the pickguard means mirror!

there is also a stratocaster model like the telecaster, with the mirror pickguard. wonder where it is now.
