Great find. That's the used market dream - finding something cheap with a 'problem' that you can fix in an hour!

Oh yes, sometimes you need to take a gamble in life.

I love mine. 0.5 shim on the neck. Mint green scratch plate on the sunburst. Some flatwound 11’s and it’s perfect: I need to shield it but I cba to unsolder and resolder everything. Really want a old school string mute for it 😊

I always learn something new here. Thanks!

That’s a beautiful Indian Laurel fingerboard you got there ! One of the nicest i’ve ever seen. If Indian Laurel was always looking like that, there will be no problem …

Yeah I've had a lot of post 2018 Squiers with IL fingerboards on the channel, nothing like this one it really stands out 👌

Congratulation for the sweet deal you got. I bought a second hand CV Jaguar like two months ago and it is awesome. I hope you keep making videos like this, my best wishes for your offset channel.

Glad to see you back! I bought one of these brand new from Guitar Center in their exclusive daphne blue color a couple years ago. I was not happy with how much the bridge wiggled and some other QA issues, and ended up returning it. I really loved the color though!

Shame it didn't work out 😕

I'm glad it was just needing the pocket cleaned out. On sunbursts they always spray a bit too much clearcoat on them, and it can create a high spot or ridge in the pocket. I always clean that off, making sure there's not a spot that will crack the clear or paint on the outside of the pocket later. Congrats on the good deal.
