Let's see your GUITAR!

[phantasmagorovich]

Yep! A Squier with upgraded Pickups will definitely get you a banging guitar, unless you can hear bats farting or your tastes are in the stratosphere. I've yet to come across an Epi that felt right to me, but I never really looked into them, so that might've been bad luck.

I picked up this 1962 Wilshire in Vegas when I passed through on the way to Valley of Fire National Park. It's a beautiful guitar and the red fox finish is weird/cool. Plus it sounds way cool.
My dog didn't want me to take the pic obviously...


Here it is

^^ Oh, that Epi is awesome. Must be one of the very first of the "Batwing" headstocks (they had the 3x3 headstock up till 63, I think). How is the width at the nut? I had a 64 Wilshire that was narrow at the nut and never felt right to me, but I've played a bunch of 3x3 early 60s Epiphones (61, 62) and they had - hands down - just about the best necks of any guitar I've ever known. Wide at the nut, shallow depth, just beautiful to play.

It's 40mm at the nut I don't think that's thin not too sure never measured anything else.
It's seriously the most comfortable neck that I've played though and light as anything which is great fantastic guitar great to play

Just in: Squier Jaguar. Impressed with build quality, but the glossy paintjob has to go. Going to sandblast it and spray it with nitro. It's probably going to change tonal charachter just by stripping the massive layer of poly-paint.

That Saturn though.

Yeah, that'd be one of the 41mm ones. The batwings were thinner than the 3x3s, which are 43mm. My hands are big and it's amazing what a difference 2mm can make (cue: TWSS). But they're gorgeous guitars. Did you have any issues at customs getting it back to Sydney?
