Lame excuse, you can get a new bridge plate and saddles for only like 50 bones.

My brother does custom guitar artwork.. i.e. Custom engraving + paint + finish + set-up. I would post pics to his work but evidently you are required to post 15 times before you can post links.
(So lemme go post 15 **** posts so I can satisfy an arbitrary number that really means nothing.) -_-

The reason I posted all of this is because I'm a big fan of the Squier Strats.. If properly setup, they play almost as good as an American strat, for about 1/5th the cost.

mr dave

how many properly setup american strats have you actually played?

that's like saying a souped up honda civic drives just as good as a corvette.

I'd thought of that. But by the time it was annihilated, I figured it was high time I purchased a new one anyways. Had that telecaster for ages.. 7 years, to be precise. Hadn't any sentimental value, it was rubbish.
