Therefore, claims of pickups sounding sweet due to the weakening of the magnets are quite simply wrong.

Pickups may age due to corrosion, and the electronics environment may similarly age: the windings and electronics age due to sweat, spilt beer, etc.

Therefore, the supposedly sweeter sound of old pups that people rave about, is either due to corroded windings or... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nocaster) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/711 Sun, 04 Jan 2004 11:40:06 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/709/t/Please-educate-me-on-Fender-mexican-quot-squire-series-quot.html # MN404548. The serial number tells me it's a '94 Mexican. It has the big fender logo, but the bad part is I noticed the "Squier series" badge on the round part of the headstock- the picture was a little fuzzy and it was hard to make out.
I've tried finding info on this model of guitar and came up with very little- the most shocking of which says the body is possibly made out of plywood.

I just saw a picture of a Fender Esquire Re-issue in a magazine.

I have to say it sort of baffles me a bit in it's design.

For starters, what's the selector switch supposed to do? It's only got 1 single coil in the bridge.

Secondly, have you seen the saddles on that thing? It's got a thread on it. I can just imagine it murdering top E-strings like there's no tommorrow.

So I've got to ask, apart from the obvious nostalgic, guitar collecting... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (duffbeer4me) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/705 Tue, 09 Dec 2003 06:34:25 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/708/t/What-vintage-guitar-is-this-Pro-Tone-emulating-.html feeds@yuku.com (JCTrahan) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/708 Sat, 22 Nov 2003 04:44:19 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/706/t/What-Stratocaster-should-I-buy-Mexico-Japan-.html
I am interested in buying a Stratocaster...So, I checked out eBay...WOW...There's a lot of Strat stuff on there...

Anyway...My situation is this...I enjoy Classic Rock, Hard Rock, and especially, Blues Rock music...I want a sweet, yet simple, little guitar...I have $300 to spend...

It looks like an American Strat is out (not enough finance)...So, is a Strat from Mexico or Japan more highly thought of...And, also, are there any other things to remember when... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chptunes) http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/706 Thu, 20 Nov 2003 17:17:51 GMT http://guitarsbyfender.yuku.com/topic/778/t/Value-of-a-Setup.html How much difference should I expect if my intonation and playability seems to be 'ok' right now.
What are the digns that a setup is needed?

FYI I have a Protone Strat, Affinity Strat, Epi Les Paul and a 70's Jazz Bass copy made by Conrad

This axe (she sings and cries like a dream, one of the best guitars I've ever played!) is much different from all bullets, I've seen before:
