Obession!!!

lincoln99 · February 7th, 2010, 03:17 PM

Can't stop checking Craigslist or ebay (try to avoid that one) in search for more Squier Standard guitars. Here are the one I have scored so far. All from Craigslist!!! I can't stop looking and hoping to find that sweet looking Gold and Black Squier logo. I figured to put these pictures up and share the love. THe Cherry Sunburst is an 05 (suppose to be alder) the FMT is an 03 (def. alder) and the Hot Rails (haven't even had the chance to get it set up and play it) its an 07. Anyhow, enjoy!!!!!

Very nice looking collection! That FMT looks great!

Goodkat · February 7th, 2010, 03:35 PM

Nice collection man. That cherry burst Strat looks very nice!

no, lol nothing kinky about it, sugar makes kids hyper active, wired, up all night, at least mine it did.. Figured crazedlist would increase his guitar search obsession.

Naaaah ... I'm not really interested in buying a new Strat for myself (I was just saying that your Strat looks very nice) but thanks for the tip.

Stratty · February 12th, 2010, 08:55 AM

Nice collection!

Scott L · February 12th, 2010, 09:12 AM

Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a GAS-A-Holic...

Seek professional help now..... Otherwise look what can happen to you..

SJB22 · February 12th, 2010, 09:32 AM

You have quite a few horses in your stable. Which ones do you find yourself playing the most?

Foul....No fair... taking pics of the local GC stock room....(damn

)

Blackmore Fan · February 12th, 2010, 10:25 AM

Scott L, that's quite an impressive display! But I count SIX Fenders that still have the Fender sticker on the pickguard--what's the story there? Did you somehow get such a good deal that you knew in advance that you'd probably be flipping those guitars rather than keeping them?

zombiebear · February 12th, 2010, 03:34 PM

It just might be a bit expensive, that's why i stick to squiers ;)

I've been told that I'm a little AR about my possesions. I'm a slob by nature, but bust my butt for organization and to keep things nice. I keep all documentation, receipts, manuals, warranty cards, boxes for most everything I buy.

Actually almost all the Fenders have sitckers on them - its sort of a joke with friends and family. The accuse me of wanting to keep every thing I own " Brand New ". I just tell them I have not got around to bother taking the stickers off ;) Stored away are the reciepts and owners information for all the gear including the Vintage Stuff that I've owned since new.

I've been a hustler my whole life and know a bargin when I see one. Most of these will get kept. A few there are simply priced too good to pass up, or part a " group purchase" The 3 Red to Black Les Pauls are all the same Limited Run of 25 that I god a killer deal on.

I'm not adverse to selling them, but find it better to use them for barter. The Explorer you see in the back was an even trade for a 2005 HSS American Series that I got from a dealer blowing out NOS stuff on Ebay that I did very well on, The Explorer is dead mint, the HSS was a floor model in excellent condition, but not mint.

T-Bodz Terry B. · February 12th, 2010, 11:03 PM

and now have 15 guitars total / 10 more in 9 months .. ...
