Sign in to disble this ad
I really wish stupid people on craislist would stop putting stuff like "Awesome Fender P bass" in the title & then open it up and see it's a Squier... Same with Gibson/Epiphone. So sick of it. |

I have nothing against Squiers, and could even end up with the right one, but don't try to tell me they're anything but a Squier!

Such is life.

Squire is made by Fender and while calling a Squire a Fender is pushing it...it gets people to click the link and view the ad. Still, I'd prefer that people didn't do that. With all the ads on Craigslist, it can take a LONG TIME to get through all the misleading crap before you actually find what you're looking for.

Such is life. | Yes, They are ignorant, but they are just letting us know how deep the ignorance is rooted........ Hey, at least they could read the Squire(spelled wrong on purpose) by Fender on the headstock, or the Epiphone by Gibson on the neck plate.
Almost like calling a "Big K" a Coca-Cola........ |
