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.

http://i.ibb.co/4tg39LP/IMG-4984.jpg My 2 current electrics, Coronado II and Ibanez 2344 Melody Maker. 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.

Congrats! NickD has a Junior like that, a real beauty.

Wow, don't show it to a Japanese person, those are some ancient curse words.

Congrats on both guitars, both are eye candy.

Vintera series is made in Mexico, if I'm not mistaken, but costs as much or more than Gibson's made in the US Tribute series. And if you count the fact that SGs, Specials and Juniors of the "Standard" line all come with hard cases, they are not that much more expensive than Vintera series ...

Do an funk!

Authentic it’s not, but a 10k single coil is its own thing, and sounds very woody and breathy which I love. If I need deeper bass there’s always the Squier 50s P or the HARD PUNCHER. Absolutely. Gibson probably made the most elaborate constructions of the era which doesn't make the pickups the best...

Googling for the construction of the original EB-0 pickup and looking at some of the grumbles about the "mudbucker" there seem to be a lot of alternatives for what lurks in that big cover. It's a hum cancelling construction that Lindy Fralin took and used in his hum cancelling "p90&q...

Nice job fixing the pickup and wiring! I love the bass, to me it looks better than "the real thing". And the body is solid wood too, I was half expecting it to be plywood just the way lots of early Japanese replicas were.

No, it was a fret crowning file back when you could buy it either on Stewmac(expensive shit) or in Japan. The pickup I ordered travelled for months and ended up returning back to Japan(the seller sent me an email).

I once ordered a guitar pickup from Japan, it seemed to have travelled around the world twice before it appeared here. It took months iirc, though I much further from Japan.

Solid work, man! Looks super neat and classy.

It really looks cool, as does Plops's(I do remember your burst one, it's a badass looking rock'n'roller)

What I meant is that you are a princess so that should've been your guitar.

It looks really nice, congrats! Today's cheap pickups are actually oftentimes quite good, unlike cheap ice picky pickups from 10-15 years ago. I've got one Squier strat and while lust for more never goes away, having less is sometimes a good thing. Nowadays some guitar hobbyists have more guitars th...

I'm sorry but it sounds like you bought yourself the wrong guitar.
