I thought I had posted mine up but guess not. Anyway here they are. I have a Squier 51 but I dont like it. I got both of these for under a 100 bucks. My first is a Tom Delonge sig strat. Probably my favorite guitar. I put a set of real fender tuners on it, and a set of fender stamped saddles. Has a duncan JB in the bridge. It's beastly.

This one is a very old affinity tele. Its a fun guitar and plays pretty dam good.

Default Here's mine...

It's a 50th Anniversary 1996 Squier Strat. It's also my first guitar and
a Craigslist find.

At 47, I have just started learning to play. I really didn't want to
keep borrowing one of my son's every time I wanted to play, so
we found this on CL and snagged it along with a sweet Epiphone
amp.

Best,
BC

I'm 46 and started back after a 25+ year hiatus. I picked this up at a shop less than a mile from home. A 50s Classic Vibe Strat.

And heres a couple more Squiers






I like the Vintage Modified also, though I've switched over to the CV-Series these are nothing to sneeze at either. And the 51? Well they are pretty cool Hybrids.

There was nothing else done beyond mounting the Bigsby and filing the grooves.
Note that a Bigsby B50 was used which came off some broken Gretsch. (found it on CL). The string spacing is much narrower on a B5 and might not line up so nicely.

Thanks for letting me know. Mine is a little neck-heavy and a Bigsby might be the ticket to balancing it out. Hmmm.

I recently added a 3 saddle bridge to my Squier Standard Tele.

Folks say it cant be done easily, but all I needed to do was find a bridgeplate with the string through holes a bit further forward, shave about 1mm off the front of the pickup cavity, and it fitted well. Set of brass saddles, and this guitar sounds and plays so much better.



The three old holes from the old bridge still show, so I just put some small screws in them. No more untidy than old Bigsby holes though.

At some time I plan to repaint this guitar, so when that time comes, Ill fill these holes and spray over them

the CV is gorgeous! and if you slap a mint pickguard on that white one, it'll look awesome.

The stickers are over the finish. I've seen a strat that had a bunch of beer labels under the finish and it looked pretty good.

This is the Tele thread, so I'm gonna post Tele's only

This the my first Squier and my first Tele, a 2001 Affinity Tele n bought secondhand and nicknamed 'Bandit'. I loved this guitar, but I HATED the colour scheme, hence the stickers. After owning Bandit for about 2 weeks, I accidentally killed the neck pickup and sneakily took it back to the store. They asked if I wanted my money back on the guitar of if I wanted it fixed. I said 'fixed, please'. The guitar came back to me a week later with a mysterious old pickup in it, which seems to be some kind of staggered-pole AlNiCo strat pickup, and it sounded wonderful. Very clear and crisp, almost like an acoustic.

I eventually bought another Affinity (pictures below) and switched the necks, knobs, and neck pickups. I then sold Bandit away.


This is my second Affinity, a 2009 that replaced Bandit. In this pic, the guitar has the 2001 neck and knobs, as well as the mystry pickup. Recently, I swapped the neck from this guitar (the old 2001 neck from Bandit) onto a 2004 Standard Fat Tele and tried - and failed - to turn that guitar into an Esquire. That guitar will next be restored to stock (except the pots and caps) and this Affinity will be given the Esquire treatment.

Which is what I should have done in the first place.


This last one is a 2004 Squier Standard Fat Tele that I bought recently because I wanted a rockin' HB in the neck position. Turns out, I didn't find the pickup to be 'rockin', but loud and muddy and yuck. So I decided to use the guitar as a platform to mod. A bit of a mistake. Luckily, the guitar is easily restored, and I can worry about the pickup situation another time.

Yup CV50s alright. Putta GFS big pole pickup in the neck and colored the tops of the polepieces black w/ perminant marker. Flipped the control plate and replaced the sh!tty pickup switch. It's a real twang king rocker.

Intresttingly enough, I cannot detect a difference in sound since switching to the cut off bridge, but it looks cool IMO.
