c'mon Fender let us poor Australian people build guitars in the Visitor Center with no cost at all! What if poor people wanted guitars and can't afford them?

While Squiers are very high quality instruments, they'll never have the collectability of American made guitars. And asking for a free guitar is like asking the company to lose money. So it won't happen because of that.

When you get older you'll (probably) have a job and you'll be able to buy some of these things for yourself. In the meantime, stay away from cannabis and grog and play your Squier for all it's worth.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

You said something the other day about stealing picks from a guitar store,don't you realize that somebody has to pay for things that people like you want for free?
(you mentioned at the end of your "what you did at school thread",that you went and played a guitar and snuck out with some picks,in case you've forgotten where you said it.)

TANSTAAFL = "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch."

Everything in this world has some kind of price, kid. The price isn't always exacted in money, but there's still some kind of price to be paid, ultimately.

That's the way of this world. Get used to it.

Liar, thief, and now believes he's "entitled" to something free.

SuperKid, TexasGuitarSlinger, Riley and all you other youngsters--meet the guy who uses the tax dollars of people who work--whether it's in jail, on welfare or on a "disability" dole, you'll be paying for his upkeep and existence eventually.

i'm not complaining about the price but i agree that people from other coutries should probably be entitled a small discount (i bet this is getting internationally famous but going to the states just to see the center ain't cheap)... but i'd like to see fender connecting more internationally with customers... a friend of mine had the idea of fender making a visitors center somewhere else other than the US... probably a visitors center outside of the US is a crummy idea but i agree that fender could connect with other countries more... they should make international giveaways... only god knows how bad i wanted to win that joe principe bass...

Shoplifters should be terminated then de-boned and used as wetsuits.

Hi ralf: Germany ain't so far to go. If memory serves the Custom Shop Lounge in Düsseldorf was the first thing of its kind Fender did anywhere in the world. Looks like a nice visit (though for some reason the pix aren't loading on this page: you can find them elsewhere by Googling, as well as tours on Youtube):

Ew! I need to run and check my wetsuits quick - make sure that really is neoprene I've got and not...

Cheers - C

Hey Miss Vaughn did you ever think of this....?Maybe Fender and other companies would be able to afford more Freebees and Give-Aways if people didn't steal and pilfer their products from the stores.Do you think that the Gear Fairy comes by every bloody night and restocks the shelves after low lifes like you rob them bare?Think again.

People of your ilk cost retailers and us honest hard working people untold billions every year and then you have the unmitigated gall to ask the same people you'd have no compunction for robbing from for something free.You are one sorry piece of work.
