The old Squier '51 was a great mod platform and when they were being phased out you could nab a brand-new one for about $70. This one is essentially a Tele with a downsized P-Bass body but without a tone knob.
@nsp4772 жыл бұрын
The pickup switching knob makes more sense if you look at it from a playing position, instead of from the workbench. When you need the neck pickup, you are turning the knob towards the neck pickup. When you want the bridge pickup, you turn the knob towards it. It's certainly less comfortable / intuitive than a regular switch, and I personally would rather have a tone control, but one can see the logic of how it works from a playing point of view.

That is one cool guitar! I LOVE Squier 51s and have two of the original early 2000s Indonesian ones. I love them. They're the very best thing I've ever found for playing slide - even the stock pickups sound fantastic. I fitted my main one with a Hipshot Trilogy multiple tuning bridge and locking tuners and it's been with me now on 1,000-plus gigs. I love it. The only thing I would change about mine is the body thickness, which is a bit thinner than a standard Strat body and the weight - for a thin body, it's heavy! The lack of through stringing isn't a problem since the strings effectively top-load through the Hipshot anyway. I like the rotary selector switch, too, though I have a black chickenhead knob on mine so you can see which pickup is selected (and a matching black knob on the volume). By other 51 has a standard bridge and I took off the white pickguard as it the sunburst finish on that one looked really good without it. I'd love to try one of these, though I don't think I'd be swapping one for mine in a hurry!
@ericbgordon15752 жыл бұрын
Of all things, this model reminds me of Prince' Hohner Tele copy, especially when you kick on the distortion. I would probably simply do the stacked volume and tone controls and leave the rotating switch as it is. On the other hand, I'm used to the rotating switch on my J-Bass which is customary for basses with active electronics.

I'm curious what the bridge pickup sounds like. Probably typical Tele. I own a Fender 51 Pawn Shop Made in Japan. I was blown away when I bought it brand new back then. The sound of the bridge Enforcer humbucker pickup with split coil option is part of the huge draw because of the incredible bark in the pickup. Between that, and the split coil, and the different options create a plethora of tones I have never experienced in a Tele or a Strat. I'm sure this is an incredible guitar also mostly due in fact with the meticulous builds coming from Japan. The exactness is incredible. There was even a butterscotch one sitting alongside of the black one I bought. Even the neck came with a decent amount of flame maple in the neck. The bridge on yours with distortion sounds great. I can't help but mention that in the clean tones it is kind of thin the way Strats are usually thin in the bridge. With my Fender 51 Pawn Shop with the Enforcer Humubucker in the bridge it has a ton more depth, and the split brings it close to the Tele sounds. You have a sweetheart there. Rumor has it that they asked the guys building them what would they like to do if they could pull out all of the stops and custom design the build they want. So the Pawn Shop Tele/Strat was born. The reason why they removed the tone knob and converted it into a selector switch was because tone knobs bleed off some tone, unless you get a no-load option tone knob. Keeping it clean with the least amount of controls/switches is desirable also. Oddly enough my 51 had a price of $1100 on list, and it went on sale for $795, and the day I saw it, they marked it down to $575. I was going into the store to pick up a guitar I ordered, and upon seeing the 51 and even moreso hearing it, especially the bark out of the bridge, I grabbed it. Precision is the key. I think part of the reason that it was not a popular seller was that the Squier 51 like you said was selling for $150 and finally they put them on sale for as low as $60. So, that created a bad impression in peoples minds, and the pickups weren't anything to write home about. The ones on my 51, and on yours also are great. It's a whole different guitar. Looks similar but...

Man, I wanted one so bad back in 2011. They are kinda like the Miata of Fender guitars.

Can anyone remember the Fender Craig Ross is playing on Are you gonna go my way, the Vevo video? It has the Tele body with twin Humbuckers but a 70's Strat Headstock. Does anyone know what model it is? I think that may have been a Japanese model. Anyone?

I haven’t seen the clip, but from your description, the guitar sounds like a regular ‘70s Tele Deluxe. Tele shape with two Wide Range humbuckers, large pickguard with Les Paul-style four-knob-one-switch setup, with a large ‘70s-style Strat headstock. A few even had Strat vibrato bridges.

Do you use a different name each time you order? And maybe multiple shipping facilities.
