Well i actually got this guitar about a week ago i got the black one with a maple fingerboard. After look this guitar up online and finding out that its a decent cheap guitar for modding i tried finding one used. I had no luck. But about a week ago i went to my local music store to get a new set of strings for my tele and seen two of these on the wall. one had all the plastic covering and sticker remover from the guard and both of the strap buttons were hanging off the guitar. The one i bought however looked like it wasn't touched before all the plastic covering and the sticker was still on, not a crack in the finish the plastic was still even on the pick-up still. I couldn't find one cosmetic issue with it its in mint. They were selling it for $179.99 so i asked whats the best deal they could give me on the guitar was and they said $150.00 with no tax. After a bit of bartering i got them to $110.00 with no tax. I really like the neck on the guitar to nice satin feeling tele neck with no over hanging frets or sharp edges. The pick-ups are below par but could be worse not bad for a $110 guitar tho. The single coil setting give a decent snappy clean sound. Overall a decent guitar for $110.

These are the mods i plan to do sometime in the future let me know if you got any suggestions

Pick-ups - Bridge:GFS Crunchy Rails Neck:?
Bridge - GFS top mount hardtail Squier 51'
Nut - Tusq XL
String trees - Tusq XL
Tuners - ? (thinking about some fenders)
Pots - CTS

I'm also thinking about changing the rotary knob to a chicken head knob and the volume to a black dome knob or an ebony one off of all parts.

Any suggestions on the neck pick up i don't know of many single coils. I was thinking about the GFS lil' Puncher. I want a nice warm lead tone out of the single coil if that's possible lol (like i said i know nothing of single coils)

I'll post some pic in a few days right now I'm not home and i don't got the web at my house
