Never mind!!!
Hey guys! I've got a nice Squier Strat for sale. It's the one I got from Strum. She's got a couple of nicks and some scratches, but she plays pretty good. I've never had a Squier and was impressed with how well it does play. In fact, I had decided to keep it awhile and upgrade her with new pickups and electronics and a little dress up. I did in fact put new CTS 250k pots and a new 5 way switch in her, plus I shielded the cavity and the NEW TORTOISESHELL pickguard with copper foil and grounded everything to a common point. She looks really good with the tortoiseshell pickguard. I even put some new GFS Overwound Alnico pickups in her, but they seemed a little harsh to me, so I put the factory pickups back in.
If she's so sweet, then why am I selling, what other reason would there be, other than I found "the guitar" that I've been looking for. I was in my favorite music store yesterday and they had a MIM Strat that I made the mistake of asking if I could play. Big mistake. You've heard the old saying "melts in your mouth and not in your hands"? Well this one melted into my hands and I was HOOKED. Her siren song was unavoidable. So I've cut a deal with them and I need to move the Squier to help fund this purchase. Of course, I told my wife that this would be the last guitar I'd be buying. ;)
Anyway, I'm asking $125 plus shipping for her. There's a nick the size of a small eraser on the back (see the pics) and a few minor scratches. I've cleaned the neck and treated it with mineral oil. There's no case, but I'll package her well. Here's the pics:

You can barely see where I circled in red the nick in that last picture. One other thing. Strum said whoever had it before him took the Strat logo off the headstock for some strange reason. There is a "Designed and Backed by Fender" on the back of the headstock along with a serial number.
If you have any questions, then don't hesitate to ask. This would be a nice little Christmas present for somebody!
