• Squire Vintage Modified

  
  As reviewed by Mark Rodgers on 3/28/2012

  First, I gave this 5 stars, judging it on what it IS,( a budget guitar), not because it's as good as a PRS or a Custom Shop Strat. That being said, I REALLY like this guitar. I had been slobbering over one of these ( the earlier model that was a bit yellower) at a local store that my brother works at, and they were telling me to wait a couple days till they could get me a "family price', then next thing I know, the geniuses sold it !! So I had them order another, this time in the new Vintage Blonde color, which was back-ordered everywhere. So I fished around and finally found one in-stock here at GC, and took a chance ordering a guitar,sight unseen. Well, it came very well packaged, and arrived in perfect shape. I literally went over the guitar with a flashlight and magnifying glass, and the only flaw I could spot was that some of the pick-guard screws were set in at a noticable angle. Annoying, but hardly a deal-breaker. It wasn't set up REAL bad, but a quick intonation job fixed it up good. Also, the guitar I was considering locally had WAY too much amber stain on the neck, this one isn't so dark but still has that "vintage" look, and looks much better,especially since installing a Fender tortoise shell pickguard. The guitar seems to stay in tune very well, I see no need to change tuners. I do have a set of stainless steel bridge saddles coming ( mostly just 'cause), but I'm happy with everything else, and have been playing this guitar almost exclusively since I got it. For this money, you can't go wrong, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see the prices get jacked-up on all these Asian/Pacific guitars,since they seem to be selling so well and getting such good reviews
