I know. But, was "sharing" that a picture would be great
to let us know what you'd like.

Used, restored, fixer-upper, Gem Mint condition?
100% original or a guitar with modifications?
needs a paint job or is nice and shiny?
What year?
Any special options?

Toppscore :)

Those Squier Supersonics were inspired by a late 1960's photo of Jimi Hendrix playing an upside-down Jaguar...

Ahhhh.
Reverse headstock with correct decal. Nice looking guitar.
Cannot even believe Squire was around when Hendrix was alive

Wiki says: "Fender, under the ownership of CBS, acquired the Squier brand name in 1965 when it bought a USA based string making firm, but it lay dormant for many years.[1] Before the Fender Squier series was introduced in 1982, Fender was making lower priced guitars such as the Fender Lead series at its Fullerton California plant. Until the introduction of the Fender Squier series, Fender had never produced lower priced guitars based on its main Stratocaster and Telecaster designs and had always used different model designs for its lower priced guitars."

Funny, the switches and knobs never really got in my way. But then, I grew up with Jags and Jazzys in the 60s so maybe I am just used to them. The toggle on my LP doesn't bother me either. And, I am a little more laid back in my playing than I used to be.

Yes. I have aquired a few guitars with switches this year.
Each one I have to pre think what I am doing.
They do not get in the way, physically.
I have to think ahead as I have so many guitars.
Toppscore :)

Hey alnovak, awesome score! I just picked up a silver sparkle last night! What a sweet guitar it is. The silver has faded to a very pale gold! I oiled the fretboard, polished the body, new strings and full set up, and now she's singing. i wish I can stay home and play her all day long!

i had one of these! silver sparkle, swapped pickups for Ibanez Powersounds...
sadly, she's only a body now...a pickjar, still serving a purpose :P
on the upside, the costs to reverse the angle in the bridge pickup (i HATED how bright the reverse angle was) were more than i wanted to put up with for the thing. so at least i never had to do that...
then they quit makin it and now i'm kinda sad it got broken... and then i remember that reversed-angle bridge pickup and have such a dilemma!

The Fender Pawnshop version sports two canted DH-1 humbuckers with zebra bobbins as opposed to the Squier originals, which had only a single canted Duncan Designed humbucker in the bridge.

I like the Fender Pawnshop Supersonic better. :)
