    Pawn shopping find

    As you all know its my hobby finding this shit.
    Got this today because I'm out of strats.
    89 MIK Squier II I love the necks on these they feel right to me.I bought it just for the neck alone but its a great player after some cleaning and a different pick guard its a pretty cool guitar.Pearl white with some age fade.
    One of the not so dead sounding plywood bodies I have run across light as a feather and rings decently.Pick ups sound nice and clear with lots of strat chime.
    Before and after pics with the pick guard change.
    A great deal for $90.00 with gag bag out the door.

      No of course not I will find a proper body soon trust me.It plays and sounds great as is Oh I did swap the ceramic cap for an orange drop so maybe that helped the tone a bit.
      Really a nice player.

              Nice, I like the look of that black pearloid pickguard. I have a MIM Squire II that feels great and plays really well. I love the feel of it's maple neck. It feels very comfortable.

                      There is still a legacy around here regarding Squier guitars.
                      There were a few good ones slipped in the mix.

                      Uh, no...I don't think an RS kit would help.

                        Well I may put an RS kit in it if I find a nice body.May have a pine body built for it still up in the air on that.
                        My pine tele is the tits.
