It looks super sweet!

Yeah, had I changed anything, I would've thought I'd lost some magic settings. It's fascinating how our mind/brain/ears work

Not really connected to this, but there was a batch of made in Korea Fender Strats at some time. I remember some Fender owners having a conniption because of it, after having spent a small fortune on a Fender there were Korean Fenders circling around. But those had a Made in Korea inscription on the...

Yesterday I pulled my solid state amp from its dusty corner and some dirt pedals, played them for a while and they sounded heavenly. I hadn't changed a thing, plugged in today and it all sounded like utter shit. Speaking of perception bias based on the mood.

Like a delicous lollipop

It's funny that at this point your guitar is just a tad younger than the model it was "an import rip off" of. I mean it's almost as vintage as 70s fenders, and it's probably better made. Nice guitar, strong Keith vibes.

The colour combo looks nice and I love pale Squier necks. I like this bridge and am not super crazy about mustang bridge on the bass. Moreover, the string through thing sounds like a lot of hassle with strings, aren't you supposed to use some special strings on that thing?

Great song, Dot!

Squier Vista Musicmasters are Gibson, or rather Epiphone scale of 24.75".

Nice little Musicmaster you built there, it looks super classy.

If I was a midsize local bureaucrat I'd probably buy it. Or my children would. One of those kids who lives alone in an empty building on Manhattan, which belongs to his family, and who has dual citizenship, will buy it in between playing War Zone and eating cereal.

But does it come with Kurtdz?

I loved it with a pink pickguard and I love it with this tort. Both looks are fresh and sharp to me.

Those fret rulers with gaps for frets are good for setting up the neck straight.

I like the look of the guitar. If the neck is straight, it can't be terrible. I'd strip the body and painted it some fun colour.

Just got the P90 put into the Ibanez, custom made locally with no cover, based on the Lollar Melody Maker P90. (also new amp, I like it). I love Melody Makers. This Ibanez replica has better body ...

Both look nice to me. My affinity strat made 8 years ago has a rosewood board that looked almost orange and super bright if you compared it to other rosewood fretboards. It got a tad darker with the time and oiling, but I didn't mind it when it was bright. There's an element of defiance to it too

That's nice of Thomann. Show us the full pics and tell us about them guitars a bit more

We need full pictures. And congrats! Thomann is a long way from you.

Nice as always. If there was a Custom Shop at Squier, you should be running it.
