I love the look. And it plays and sounds well also. 😊

I want it a matte finish, is sanding a good idea ?

Well, as the title says. With work being a bitch (as usual), a recent breakup (painful), and my birthday coming up in a couple of months (oh joy), I decided to give myself an early present. For context, I’d almost stopped playing for 2 years cause I kept moving around for work

Cue the search online, add to cart, and one week later she’s here!!

Squier Classic Vibe 50s Strat in 2 tone sunburst, or Layla, as I will call her henceforth (Plugged into my Cort CM15)

Things to do:
- Put on a set of Ernie Ball Silver Slinky 10.5 - 47
- Basic setup

Surprisingly in tune out of the box, but I did find the action a bit low and the neck a bit slow

Cheers y’all

This feels comfortable to play and sounds so good to my ears. I think I’m in love with the whole Paranormal line.

Feels nice out of the box. Only required some minor setup adjustments. Looks beautiful.

I am going to switch to a 1 ply black pickguard and black pickup covers and put a dual rail pickup in the bridge.

On the left is my Squier Paranormal Strat. It’s a double-bound Strat body with a Nashville Tele pickup configuration. Bridge has been upgraded to a Wilkinson 3 brass-saddle bridge. I installed a set of ToneRider Nashville 60’s pickups and reversed the control plate back to a standard layout. The pots and switch have been upgraded and the tone knob is a push-pull. It turns the 5-way switch into a 7-way, engaging the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2.

On the right is my Squier Tele Custom with factory Bigsby. Factory pickups were replaced with a Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck and a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster pickup in the bridge. Wiring was upgraded to a MojoTone harness with a 500k pot for the neck and a 250k pot for the bridge, a 470k resistor to give the bridge-only position a 250k load, and a treble bleed.

Never any tuning issues with either guitar, but I do lube all contact points on the Tele Custom and use StringJoy strings.

Traded my old Guitar in and put this bad boy on layaway. I can’t wait to pay it off. Fender squire telecaster deluxe 70s classic vibe

Picked up this debut series tele back in April 2025. I really like it for the most part (though I do plan to replace the nut soon), but I just wasn’t loving the standard control plate set up.

Finally worked up the nerve to get in there and swap it around and I couldn’t be happier.

Greetings all, aside from a setup, what pups would you swap in that are good foe various genres: funk, rock, R&B. I’m thinking of Tonerider City Limits but open to other suggestions. Not necessarily looking for anything super high outputs. Thabkd for any experienced feedback (no pun intended) :)

A buddy of mine‘s father was offloading a bunch of equipment, old amps and stuff and said he wanted to give this to me personally.

I gladly took it and put a lil spin on it.

I've been trying to find the model of my Black squier strat but the serial number isn't coming up anywhere

Hey all! A Squier CV Mustang popped up on the used market today for 270 euros. But the condition isn't great and I'm kinda worried about the structural integrity (mainly the crack at the bridge) considering the beating it took.

What are your thoughts? Should I pick it up or skip it?
Thanks!

Got this on a trade for a used case that didn't fit my stratocaster..I wanted $75 and he offered to trade

Had this parts guitar for a while. The body is a squier stagemaster with a dh gate neck does anyone have any good bridge replacements that will fit?
