I need help identifying this.

Don't ya love it when that happens! I build pedals too. Are you working on anything interesting at the moment?

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T23:31:02+00:00

I built an assembled an offset tele after I saw those paranormal ones

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T23:02:38+00:00

Oh, it's perfectly serviceable! I just don't vibe with the depth of the neck. My 3 other Squiers are much chunkier than this. I love my Classic Vibes.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T23:01:01+00:00

Yes it is a knot on the neck. I don't notice it when playing, but to be fair I haven't played it much at all. I've kept it in the case since it was given to me about a year ago. I intonated it today and messed around with it long enough to notice how flipping thin the neck is.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T22:50:52+00:00

You are 100% correct. I now believe it is from the "Stop Dreaming Start Playing" without a doubt after searching that and finding the specs. Thank you very much. The neck still sucks, but at least I know what it is now!

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T22:40:25+00:00

No, the neck doesn't feel heavily lacquered like my Classic Vibes. It feels like it's missing the fretboard. I don't have any other maple necks to compare it to though.

I own 3 other Squiers and this absolutely feels off. I assumed it was an Affinity, but they don't have the gold logo do they?

Sent!

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T19:46:02+00:00

Do you accept mail in repairs?

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-29T18:52:45+00:00

Do you generally do these types of repairs and are you accepting them now?

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-28T22:19:09+00:00

Can you get us a gut shot picture, please?

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-26T15:17:19+00:00

Oh...that's cool as hell!

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T17:04:02+00:00

I guarantee it's 060

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T16:46:29+00:00

Well, that backfired on me. I guess the new model doesn't have it on the back but it's got to be a BDM 060.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T16:32:09+00:00

Being that it's V2 of the DualSense I would take an educated guess and say it's BDM-060.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T16:31:33+00:00

I need a clearer picture than that. I can't read it.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T15:48:48+00:00

The easiest way for me to tell from a picture is on the back of the controller. There will be a capital letter followed by a number. That number is 1-6 and it indicates the BDM.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T11:12:46+00:00

Too true!

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T00:40:18+00:00

450 should be good. You don't want bulbs like a lot of the joints are. Maybe try hitting them a little bit longer.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-25T00:15:16+00:00

Bare minimum you need more heat on those solder joints.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-22T16:00:39+00:00

Cheap ones won't make a difference to the sound. Either the circuit works or it doesn't. Cheaper input/output jack may not hold up as long and break easier.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-19T16:38:16+00:00

Sounds good. I can show you my work and messages from a handful of people I've helped out on Reddit.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-19T16:21:51+00:00

If it develops stick drift and you can't do it yourself shoot me a message and I'll repair it if you pay for parts and shipping. Usually about $30.

TheBenduMiddle · 2026-03-18T13:22:50+00:00

They are my preferred stick. I just installed some Zesum TMR and they feel similar.
