  1. A very decent Fifties inspired Strat, that I’ve put together. 
    Lovely low action, with just the slightest relief to the neck, makes it easy to play. Sounds like a Strat should sound, the Classic Vibe pickups do a great job. 
     

    Neck is from a Classic Vibe. I’ve re fretted it with medium gauge frets. There is absolutely no wear. 

    Radius is 9.5”


    Don’t know the make of tuners but they function perfectly, feel good and hold tuning well. 
    Body is a Squier from 96 and is full thickness. No major dinks, some slight signs of age. 
    All hardware is good and everything functions as it should. 
    Strung with a new set of D’Addario 10’s. 
     

    No case, so collection preferred.

    Can post, on the understanding that the neck will be removed, prior to wrapping and boxing up. Cost will be around £17.

  2. I installed Wizard pickups in a couple of Jazz basses and was very impressed. Yes, they were made in Wales and the chap has retired, I seem to recall that the business is up and running again but not sure who's involved, sorry. 

  3. These days almost all of the entry level instruments are good, maybe not brilliant but certainly much, much better than they were in the days of old.

    Get out and try a few, find one that feels right to you. The best thing you can then do, is have it properly set up, whether you do it yourself or pay a tech, honestly it will make the learning experience easier and more of a pleasure.

  4. I must stop buying guitars:)

    Anyway, this is a nice early example of a Tribute Asat, equipped with Leo's very powerful MFD pick ups.

    Very good condition, with one dink to the top horn and one on the back of the neck (see pics).

    Everything works as it should and the weight is just over 8lb.

    I've given it a proper clean , set up and a new set of D'Addarios. 

    Decent hard case included.

    Price is £ 425   now £395  now £375. Collection preferred but can courier for around £20 (mainland only)   With the current restrictions, it will have to be couriered.

  5. Not sure how crisp clean you're going to get, given that you go for a slightly overdriven  AC30. Having said that, a pick up swap can really improve things. I've installed Seymour Duncans on a customer's SG and he loved the result.
