    I contacted Fender and told them about the picture on the Squier. I tried to get a free Squier Deluxe or Fender MIM out of my good deed, but only received an e-mail thanking me. However they said there marketing group caught it two weeks ago. You would think they would change it a little quicker, but that's not the case.

    Well I gave it a shot.

    Now that's funny, when I contacted them yesterday the picture was still showing the one with the string stuck to the fret.

    Their marketing people caught it - my a$$.

    I just guessed that most of the online stores could not have had time enough to change their old display images of the Squer guitar for the new-corrected picture!

    Damn that is too funny!

    I wonder if they have pics where there are still tons of pieces of sawfust in the neck and body cavities like a few of mine have had. I think they call that "magic dust".

    We need more pink strat owners here
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
