Here is a group photo of my Squiers. Rebuilding these affordable guitars has become an obsession for me! LOL.

Here's my Squier lineup for now.

(L-R): '97 Squier Standard with Harpmaster Delta Blues (this is maybe the sweetest sounding guitar I've got. It's just magic.), Squier Bullet with a Guitarheads Dragonfire Screamer (I wired it wrong so the single knob controls tone, not volume. I liked it so much I left it like that!), '16 Squier Tele Deluxe, '18 Squier Jazz Bass. And yes, that's a dog toy on the couch - get your minds out of the gutter. It soothes his gums.

Nice. Dude, I want a 51 so bad and in that color, too. I nearly pulled the trigger on one many times but always wimped out. Wish I had gone through with it.

This one has a 22 fret neck from a Squier Tele Custom II. The pickups are a Duncan Designed HB103 in the bridge and a random alnico single coil in the neck. I replaced the 3 way rotary switch with a 5 way rotary. The rotary switch now splits the humbucker in the 2nd and 4th position and the push-pull puts the pickups in series when pulled up.

Here's my lovely and well loved CV '50s Tele... Absolutely one of the best guitar purchases I've ever made, and the least modded. I only changed out the switch for a 4-way (gotta have that series action!), but otherwise, it's perfect.

And here's my VM Custom Tele. This one I haven't really bonded with, and I might be selling it soon. I replaced the duff, stock, "WRHB" with a Brandonwound replica, and I hated the "Duncan Designed" bridge pickup almost as much as the fake WRHB, so I replaced it with one from a 2014 Fender American Standard. The Brandonwound sounds frickin' awesome, and the Fender bridge pickup sounds good, but I just don't like the way humbuckers and single-coils play together. I haven't played it in a while, and I'm going to give it another chance... Maybe mess with the eq a little more... but I think I might be happier if I got another Brandonwound for the bridge position and put them both in a Tele Deluxe.

I spoke too soon... Your army is equal to [mention]mkgearhead[/mention]'s. If you each had three more Squiers, you could use them as chess pieces and battle it out for dominance.

Very nice. The (original) CV series is probably the best thing that ever happened in the affordable guitar space. Amazing quality.

It just wasn’t getting played so I figured it needed to go. Besides, I got $100 more than I paid for it.

Yeah, I just like Surf Green and the offset body shape, but I'm more interested in Jazzmasters than Jaguars. The short scale puts me off.
