Squier 51 and GFS pickups

[edder]

Oh yes. Can someone post pictures of it?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Nahh.... I just wanna say that I've have permanently upped Squier's points in terms of being a credible and affordable instrument makers.

I was rewiring my 51 last night and had the BIGGEST surprise ever.

The control cavity of that cheapass made in indonesia throw around the house no heartache even if it falls down from the table guitar actually had a nicely painted carbon paint internals for shielding.

And even better.... they bothered to paint an "overhang" on the guitarbody so that the whole shielding will be in contact with the control plate.

Oh and if anyone is curious, the pickups wired was a GFS single coil with a bottom brass plate on the neck and a 59 zebra bridge humbucker.

I'm quite impressed with the pickups. Budget pickups made this cheapass guitar sounds right.

That's virtually unheard of in lower end instruments, or even high end instruments for that matter. Big thumbs up.
