Hey all,
I know, I know this probably belongs in the Squier section, but I had to share this with all of my friends here in the forum....
Last week I saved a Vista Series Squier'96 Subsonic from the wall.
I was doing some guitar tech work for a friend of mine and he mentioned he picked up an "ugly" "cheap" guitar that he planned to sand down and decorate for his girlfriend as a gift. I asked to see it, and had to have it.
There is NO way I was gonna let this beauty go to the wall. She is pretty beat up cosmetically and needs some love. So I made him and offer.
100$ and an extra Gibson USA humbucker I had laying around :roll: . Yeah....I think it was a great deal and he was happy about it considering he bought it for 40$...lol.
So I need to fix her up and take her apart and clean her. She is a silver sparkle finish, V serial number, and the 50th sticker still on the headstock.
I know these were only made for 2 or so years..If anyone has any specs on this beauty please any advice would help. It looks like we are going to have to repaint (original restoration) her and I am looking for as much info as I can get. Pics to follow, Thanks!
