  • Dilemma!

    Somehow, someway, the guitar Gods of guitar setup were smiling down on me and I happened to make my Squier strat maybe my BEST playing guitar. Action is crazy low..minimal if ANY fret buzz..harmonics SING off of it..intonation is spot on...chords RING like a shallow body acoustic..and this is all acoustically (the output jack took a dump on me yesterday so no amplification possible). Honestly if I were able to get all of my guitars to play this way, I'd think about opening a side business doing it. I've NEVER gotten a guitar back from a pro setup that played this good.
    Problem is though......
    I have plans for this guitar...
    Plans that involve tearing it apart...
    I'm afraid I'll never get this thing to play this well again
    Oh what to do?!?!?!?!
    I live on the edge of danger facing life and death every single day.....then I leave her at home and go disarm bombs.

    I'd fix the jack, then leave it be, play the shit out of it till it started to get wonky,,,THEN,,,tear it apart. If the guitar makes you smile and giggle cause it plays awesome and you are pulling riffs out that are rippin...
    DON"T FUCK WITH IT

    Now go shred

      I'll yake your sage advice into consideration as I do have other guitars that are project bound.....but I do want to give this one a face/tone lift

        Fix the jack and play it as Mosh suggests.

          This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

              I always find that my guitars seem to play and sound their best right when I am considering selling them. It's your brain's de-GAS-ing defense mechanism.

                Mine are remembered as sounding/playing exquisitely AFTER I've sold them...
                to the Op: play that bee-yotch like ya mean it and project the other axes.
