NBD Squier Debut Series…

[rjovin]

Looks pretty. Did you add the bridge cover to help the balance or for aesthetics?

Thanks and purely aesthetics.

Good call, look's killer with those blocks.

Ya, I think it turned out pretty nice

Thinking about picking one of these up, but I can only find them on Amazon. Are they available anywhere else?

It's only on Amazon...we think it's a marketing experiment by Fender.

I've had mine since June and it gets a LOT of my playtime.

And this is where my old man budget mind comes through. I am more excited about these than an announcement of a new Fordera or New York-built Sadowsky.

Just picked up a used Debut for $130 all-in shipped on Amazon. I'm planning on doing a DIY refin plus some other mods. Does anyone know if the Hipshot HB1 tuners are a direct drop-in? They look like the best match, but I'm not 100% sure.

Used on Amazon? Got mine new for $130 there.

That said, I can't comment on the hipshot tuners.

What else are you planning to modify?

I'm going to amber tint the neck, match the headstock, and use it on a Squier Sonic P body I recently refinished. Also pulled the electronics and strings from the Debut for that. I'll refin the Debut body soon.

Cool...we'll look forward to photos and reports!

Just finished this one up. Previously the matte red version, now Coral Pink. Also matched the headstock and replaced the decal.

My "Debut" got some new tuners (Kaish carbon fiber) and a new string retainer.
The Frank Bello next to it has Guyker Carbon fiber tuners. They are the exact same tuners with different names.
