here is my new guitar.
A 2004 squier bullet strat with one humbucker and a volume control, it is a hardtail.




here is the new family pic:

the tele and sg:



questions:

i really would like to put in a lace humbucker, i would like a warm one that wont be to hard and distorted, any suggestions?

what can i use to clean the body? there are a few scuffs on it i know i can get out, but i just need the rights stuff.

thanks for looking!!

-Tanner

Wicked as man, that 04 squier strat looks amazing man! Keep on collecting

If you wanna get rid of "scruffs" on the body, then use dunlop 65 polish cleaner thingamijig

thanks, they carry some of that at my local shop so i will look into it.

A new pickup, volume pot, tuners, and saddles are a must for that guitar, IMO.

I'd find a nice set of stamped saddles, a good set of Schallers, a 250k CTS pot, and maybe a SD SH(?).

love the setup. i've got one PU and one volume knob.
i'm partial to seymor duncan myself. good lookin axe.

Nice looking guitar. An excellant addition to your collection. I have no advise for you on pickups. I like the tone of my Dimarzio Super Distortion with the Dimarzio 500k volume pot. Not knowing what kind of music you are into, hard to recommend.

The Dimarzio Super Distortion can give you sounds like Iron Maiden, Kiss, and I can pull off a pretty good Metallica sound. Not to mention I use it for Blues leads as well.

Look at the different websites for pickups. I have heard the Lace Alumitones are pretty good. Seymore Duncan makes some pretty hot pickups. EMG for that crunch of modern Metal.

+1 on the Dunlop Guitar polish. There is also Meguires.

for an aftermarket bridge humbucker, try a seymour duncan JB-4.

i like stuff like John Mayer (uh oh ), dave matthews, the fray stuff like that and reggae music.

i'll look into it

Isn't there a point where your parents ask "Why do you need another guitar?"

That deluxe probably still smells factory fresh. Anyway, nice new axe

I think the Alumitone might be for you. Check it out, pickup in the middle of the page.

ya it was a long time ago.

looks pretty good. i think a black one will go well with it

I bought my son the same guitar. It plays pretty good, it's loud even when it's not plugged in.

Nice pickup for the herd Tanner, really cool color. I see the music you like buy you can pull those tones out with your other axes. Checkout a DiMarzio Fast Track for a heavier edge.
