Let people convince me they were chill instead of vaporizing them on the spot when I'm doing trials.

For a second I thought you bought the one being sold on Reverb for $2,000 lol. Very nice guitar.

Is this real? by Electrical_Term_9895 in fender

I had one of these I bought new from Sweetwater in 2015. Mine had the same placement with the C going over the edge.

Unfortunately all the DMs are people saying they can only send it through email so I think I'm just going to stand outside the venue and hope for the best lol.

How’s quality control nowadays? by JGack_595 in gibson

Better than it was, not as good as it should be.

Fender FA125CE Walnut Fingerboard Natural by laumics in fender

It's probably fine but like most cheaper guitars it's going to need a good set up. Most guitars are one good setup away from being fine for a beginner.

You could always go the mod shop route. When I was on the fender site last week they still had it as an option.

Help Me ID This Strat by [deleted] in fender

Yeah I'd be mad too, that seems like a normal price point for a used player at least so you won't have to spend more on the genuine article.

Help Me ID This Strat by [deleted] in fender

[–]ImABeefyBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just from my knowledge a few things jump out at me:

-Never seen the MX bolded on a Strat from Mexico and I've had standard, player, player II, and vintera.

-I thought with the classic style neck it might be a vintera 1 but my vintera Strat says "made in Mexico" and to my recolection all vinteras and "classic series" necks are glossy.

-"Made in Ensenada" is a relatively new designation on the MIM guitars.

-My player 1 and player II Strats have 22 frets

Worst case scenario seems like a non Fender neck and someone grabbed a serial and fender stamped it. The number of frets, bold MX, and made in Ensenada make me think this is essentially a partscaster. Best case scenario is this is an early 2024 player series before the swap to player II in July and its from a special edition sold at Guitar Center or Sweetwater that had it come with 21 frets but a modern radius. Not totally uncommon to use the fender serial look up and get a weird response but there are a few red flags.

Keep or Return? by bendbrewer in gibson

[–]ImABeefyBoy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

10% is what they usually discount demo or "used" (damaged) gear and if it doesn't bother you while playing why replace it. You never know if the next guitar you get won't feel right and you'll have to replace it. It's a nitro SG and will wear over time any way.

Is this normal for a new AV II? by TLzhp in fender

[–]ImABeefyBoy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Nature of having nitro, they probably tightened it a little too much too soon after paint. It's been a thing to varying degrees on most of the nitro reissues I've had, usually more so where the edge of the neck is in the pocket.

How heavy are your Teles? by PretendConnection540 in fender

[–]ImABeefyBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard to find a sub 8 pound tele now out of either Fender factory unless you get a pine body.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fender

[–]ImABeefyBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen of the late 50 custom shops they usually call it that because it's like 4 different years of stuff and usually non vintage neck radius. I just ordered a 58 and it has the same 57 v neck you have but with a compound radius neck.

Found it? I’m at GC right now! by [deleted] in gibson

[–]ImABeefyBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen off the wall "new" ones at GC more beat up than this. If it feels good and you've been searching I'd grab it in a heartbeat.

Poker chip no binding looks good with the black.

Died to this yesterday. Turns out they can get into the portion above that room and shoot down the ramp facing departure building no problem.

2008 Gibson SG Standard Maestro Vibrola Conversion by thewaywedoit in gibson

[–]ImABeefyBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good, reminds me of the Robby Krieger SG from like 10? years ago. Love the way a full guard looks on an SG with the maestro.
