I'd rather not order online (my parents would never allow me to use THEIR credit card for a second guitar even though they give me the money haha! )
Basically I've always been VERY interested in being a guitar tech or at least have the skills. I want a decent guitar that could be modded easily and that'd have some mods to be done to it.
I was hesitating between a Fender standard Telecaster (for which I'd have to shell out more, but it's a Tele) or a Squier '51 (I heard great things about it, but if the frets are already going to be non sharp, I may as well pass my way [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )
The main beef I have with those guitars is, if I change the bridge pickup:
If I get a regular Tele it wouldn't fit with my Charvel later on
If I get a Tele with a humbucker in the bridge it wouldn't be spaced for a trem. I'd get a trembucker anyway, but I'd rather it sounds good even with the Squier.
And I don't want a strat hehe...
What I had planned with the '51 would be find one that I like, then gradually upgrade it... new saddles, tuners, maybe pots, a new pickup, maybe new pickguard. Something I can waste my money on and then maybe take off when I get a more serious guitar.
If you guys can think of any better suited guitars for the job, suggest away. It HAS to be a bolt on though, that'd definitely be best. Thanks for the help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
