    Default Ladies and Germs, the Fender '51

    I saw this on the Squier '51 modders' forum. There's apparently a Fender Masterbuilt '51 out there. Of course, you could get almost 46 Squier '51s for the price of this one, but still . . . I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they scaled something like this down and made it a production model under the Fender name.

    Amphen: Jet City JCA22H and JCA12S cab, Carvin X-60 combo, Acoustic B20

    Thanks for the info marnold.
    It appears like a gloss finish on the neck. I like a gloss but I also like the flat or satin finish. I have really been enjoying my '51 lately but I do want to do some mods to it.

    Thanks again.

    Med-jumbo frets on a vintage radius is pointless. The price of that guitar is beyond ridiculous. Take the stock '51 and get it professionally dressed and crowned and you have a great playing guitar for a fraction of that price. Crazy what people will spend on guitars.

    No tapped humbucker? That's not a '51. Harrumph.

    .........AHA I knew it! And that is exactly what the '51 needs is a 3 saddle Tele bridge! I'd buy one.

    Edited to add: Yikes I just noticed the asking price. Why couldn't you guys mod your Squier '51s with a Tele bridge and string through body setup and slap a nice '52 neck on there with medium jumbo frets?
