Wouldn't you be required to disclose that its "a squier body with licensed fender neck" and then the next seller lists it as a fender?

Nice! Mine started life as a Chris Aiken. It had some body damage (upper horn) so picked it up for $125. Spent much more since then!
So Squier cooties then? Even if it no longer has any Squier parts?
If a Fender hanging in the store next to a Squier accidentally comes in contact with the Squier does the Fender have Squire cooties?
What if you play a Squier and then immediately after, play a Fender? Squier cooties?
It's always a Squier...who cares what other people think as long as you like it. I have a VM fretless that I've put an audere preamp in, and I should be getting my Bartolini's in a couple of days. If I put those parts on an American Fender people would be over the moon....as it is I will have a bass that IMO sounds as good as any American, and it's cost me a fraction of the "Label" brand. I don't really care too much what other people think though...
A Squier is a Squier until its mostly a Fender. Then its just a sin
A fender is just a fender until you change anything including the strings. The TB purity law will show you its no longer a Fender and you're not worthy

There's another thread on TB right now where folks have claimed Sire basses are much better than Squier basses. Should I remove the Squier logo on my headstock and replace it with a Sire logo?
Its Shire, get it right or be shunned!There's another thread on TB right now where folks have claimed Sire basses are much better than Squier basses. Should I remove the Squier logo on my headstock and replace it with a Sire logo?
Forget the decal change. I'm gonna remove the "Q" and "U" from my Squier and that'll make it a "S ier". Now that is one exotic name.
Thats me...I just want the capacity for various tones: Precision, Jazz, Stingray, P/J. I have no idea why. I used to have my own tone and it was great: a double P. I didn't care. Now I hear them all and I want them all.
I have a 1984 Squier Bullet, the only original part is the body, strap buttons, neck plate/screws, and some of the pickguard screws.
yep.Good to see someone that knows that...
Programmer?
I think once you've changed the neck or body it isn't a Squier anymore, its a new animal. Nothing wrong with callling it something else, it doesnt HAVE to be a Squier anymore. Once you've changed the neck and body to Fender or whatever then its a Fender, there's no Squier parts on it. The silly part is everyone here saying that when every part is replaced its still a Squier! That's silly and I hope theyre just playing around haha. Also yeah.... Buy a $300 Sire and never regret it! J/k I dont want to provoke another thread.
