[subversion]

no problems at all. chances are, if it's at the sale, others will grab it too...

 

[redjackal]

where are squire strats made in? Koera?

 

[faizal_rocks]

Squier strats are now made in indonesia, if I`m not wrong..

 

[subversion]

Standard models are Korean, the rest are Indonesian/ Chinese

[PinkSpId3r]

yeap.thanks alot. are the highway 1 put inside the showroom or outside? planning to try it someday.

 

[subversion]

he he- the entire Swee Lee bras basah is a showroom. in any case, the H1 guitars are not in the glass enclosure 8)

 

[jeremyrozario]

hey sub, i looking for a strat, pref maple fingerboard, alder body, less than $500, you tink e 60th anniversary would reach that low? realy interested coz of the tex-mex pups

 

[subversion]

highly unlikely bro- will be slightly above the $700 mark. i might be wrong though, will update the exact disct as the sale draws near 8) this 60th Ann strat is really good.

otherwise, for about the same price, do check out:

*H1 strat
*70s mex strat
*Light Ash strat

 

[neuro182]

Can I have the Light Ash Tele?? Pricing?

 

[PinkSpId3r]

ehm sub..how does the 70s mex strat looks like? and is it inside the glass panel room or outside?

 

[beary2teddy]

i oso wanna get a hwy1 tele

Sub, can recommend if i shud change e pickups if i want a warm feeling..was tinking abt changing it to texas special..thx

70s tele (mex)

Highway1 tele: i've played virtually all H1 guitars, i find the tele pickups more organic & full-sounding as oppossed to the strat's. however, it might not appeal to some. swapping pickups would be good, choose a vintage voiced model to keep the twang in tact.

 

[Cloudsky]

Hi, sub would it be possible to buy a 60th anniversary strat and then buy another pickup to get metal tones out of it? Coz if its 400 dollars during the sale, it would be really tempting!

Of course it's possible. A Fender strat is a Fender strat no matter how you look at it

it won't be $400...

swapping pickups is a good idea, if you couldn't care less about single coil twang, putting a singlecoil sized humbucker in there would be good.

yea im thinking of getting a highway1 tele and swap in a hotrails in the bridge pickup.. but im wondering how abt the neck? stay stock or wat..?
