SO, this thing is what I call my "FirstactoCaster"
As you can tell, it is clearly Not a Fender, However....
ever since I added the headstock logo it had decided to supply me with some nice old sounding tones. (early sabbath & some art rock)
I don't know what are in these cheap guitars But I think it may be Lindy Fralin pickups. (no idea though)
SO.... no way in hell you will be playing any Van Halen or Stevie Ray Vaughn
BUT....
Some stuff off of Master of Reality, Sabotage & maybe even some Armegeddon (for all the old hippies out there)
yeah.
Strong pickups they're not.
in all honesty I may decide to keep this thing (make me an offer, realize it is now a "Firstacto-Caster" which bumps up the price )
SO I add also this:
For a fee I'll Fenderize your Squier or other Strat copy as long as you accept how it turns out. (limited amount of guitars I can do)
Sound cool?
I also do pro cleaning & can set up most guitars pretty well.
(Can re mount your neck, shim & in a pinch dowel, glue & re drill)
I've done wiring but it isn't my favorite job to do.
Any serious repairs leave that for a pro.
