Curious about Censtar Guitars, the models with P90s. $188

The bodies all seem to be unusual material (at least different, mahogany and elm) for the models they're emulating with the body shapes.

I think a may purchase a Guild Surfliner HH soon I have to sell something 1st though . I always like looks of the Fender mustang jazzmaster jazzstang type of guitars . Think DinosaurJR and Kurt Cobain type guitars .

Now you need the J. Mascis Big Muff!

btw, I installed a SuperVee BladeRunner tremolo onto my #1. It’s a technical marvel.

Love the gold pickguard! How does the TOM bridge work with the tremolo? Is it still rocking on screws or do the strings have to slide over?

Not. A. Clue. My first Jazzmaster. And, just ordered it from Thomann. It will be a couple of days before it arrives.

Sustain and tone are improved, and buzzing is fixed, but it doesn’t rock on screws. I found it to be a worthwhile trade-off since the traditional rocking bridge doesn’t stay in tune well, either. Both ways work fine for gentle vibratos.

It's a great guitar, or at least my 2012 model is. I don't know if build quality has changed since then but mine has an amazing neck. I did replace bridge with a Staytrem (special one for dropping in TOM holes). I love the guitar so much I even bought it a Fender Trem. Some Squiers are top drawer, this is one of them. I recently bought a Squier Contemporary Jaguar in LPB and thats amazingly good too.

Do you have to pay import fees on things from the EU these days?

Got a message from Thomann. Supposed to come on Saturday.

What guitar gear have you bought/are you buying/will you buy?
