    New Squier Logo

    Yup. Change happened in 2018 but people are just now finding out since the designer who did the update just posted about it.

    New Squier Logo

    Honestly. Half the comments are omg what a waste blablabla… more of a waste to tell people what they should be interested in instead of letting them enjoy a topic they’re interested in. I don’t see anything wrong with discussing branding and history of a manufacturer that a large percentage of...

    New Squier Logo

    From my understanding good design updates are usually subtle and have a subconscious impact on consumers. I don’t think it’s supposed to jump at you. I do find it funny how many people are complaining about the design being bad while we’ve had this for over four years already. And nobody had...

    New Squier Logo

    This change happened in 2018 and is not new. Both my 2018 bronco and 2021 bass vi have the “new” logo.

    Experience with MJT?

    Had I known this would be my experience, I would've gone the ebay route for sure...

    Experience with MJT?

    Payton is also my project manager here and it has been a really bad experience. One of my questions from the pictures was if checking was applied because I asked for no checking. The question was ignored, the body was shipped, and I just received another reply where they confirmed they applied...

    Experience with MJT?

    Looks nice!! How was your customer service experience? So far it has been pretty horrible for me, which is disappointing given that I've mostly heard good things from people around here. My project manager sends the wrong updates, does not reply to my questions (or will only reply half)... I...

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    @FunkHead - there were multiple pictures, but none that captured that type of scratching. @DwaynieAD - lol you must be real fun to hang out with. I genuinely feel sorry for the people that have to deal with your poor attitude on the daily. I contacted the seller letting them know of my...

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    I said I ordered new while advertised as lightly relic’d. No different than going to MJT site or their eBay shop and buying something already in stock. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    I'm not sure if it's worth it since the body cost ~350 and I won't recover shipping costs, but at this point I think I'm leaning toward returning it. I also don't have the necessary tools (or time or desire to be honest) to buff it out. It is very true that the lighting doesn't help, but I took...

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    Like I mentioned, I ordered this as a new product from them. I feel somewhat uncomfortable sharing the name since I don’t want give a bad reputation for one bad item, but this is supposedly someone who used to work for MJT, they have good reviews on eBay, etc, etc, no red flags. I also don’t...

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    I’m the same way! I honestly don’t care for it, but I knew I wanted a nitro body and it seems like about nobody sells a nitro body with no wear? I thought if it’s minimal with a few bumps, I don’t care too much, but this isn’t what I expected. Another option was buying an American original body...

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    Bought directly from the seller that did the finish, as new with light relic. According to many other forums they used to work for MJT. You can actually see that there are no holes drilled for anything other than a couple of marks for the bridge; nobody other than the shop had the body before.

    Am I being picky? Micro scratches on ordered body

    Hi everyone! I'm building a parts p bass, and I recently ordered a black nitro body that seemed to have a very light relic... only a few bumps and some checking. I received the package last night, and while I was surprised at a couple of scratches that seemed odd even in a relic body, I...

    NBD: Squier Classic Vibe 70s P Bass (China). Quartersawn?

    Nice looking bass!! Question -- it looks like there's an upwards angle on the headstock... is this a squier thing that they do on purpose? Am I going insane? The headstock of my p bass seems completely parallel to the neck.
