Well I sent him this email yesterday. "Vince, I'm a little puzzled. I see what you are talking about now in the photo. It had been about a year and a half or two since I was in there and disconnected the second volume knob. That "route" job is so incredibly minor(and well done) that I...

The collectible argument is a joke. That is a bizarre cut and I can't think of any reason to make it. I don't buy the buyers input jack theory. It's doesn't seem to sever any purpose.

Well the guy sent me a picture of the control area. I see what he's talking about but I honestly don't remember that. I'm not saying it wasn't there, but looking at the picture I wouldn't have even thought twice if I did see it. That would be such a small issue that it wouldn't even have been an iss...

Thanks for your help Wadeaminute. I actually sold my SS. Before I packed it up I looked all over for the bar and couldn't find it. The bar I had for my Cyclone was too big. I went to the local music store today and bought a new bar. It's an AllParts brand bar part number BP 2321-010 Tremelo arm for ...

It occurs to me that I have five Super-Sonics and only one arm. Weird. How do I measure it for you? I think I might have found out. I'm seeing that they make a 5mm x .8 thread, 6mm and 10-32. I read that all made/crafted in Japan used the 5mm x .8. The bar for my Squier Cyclone is too big, so I gue...

Super Sonic tremolo arm size

I can't find the tremolo are to my Squier Super Sonic. I have a tremolo arm to my Squier Cyclone(new one) and it doesn't fit. It's too big. Anyone know what size I need for the SS?

Gah, I now realise the illogical-ness of my original post. What I mean is I like the sound of the pickups, they just sound a bit cheap and are prone to feedback. I want the same overall sound/feel, just better quality. I still want the Super-Sonic to sound as was intended. I don't know what that me...

I use 10-60 Boomers on my Super Sonic and Cyclone both tuned to Drop C. I tried an 11-70 set on the SS once and they were pretty cool but a little too thick. On a 25.5" scale guitar I use 10-52. I really like the 10-60 sets. Beefy sounding and feeling. The 10-60 Boomers used to be the Zack Wyld...

Super Sonic size neck

I love the neck on my SS more than any other. Would re-shaping/re-sizing a guitar neck to the same dimensions as the SS neck be possible? Or would having a a luthier build an exact copy be the better way to go? Of course cost would be an issue too. I already have an old Warmoth strat neck that has n...

Yeah, I like the chrome. You can probably see from the picture that the Tele single coil is a bit smaller than the hole. I didn't realize there was a difference in size until I got it. It's fine though. There is just a little gap all around it. It sounds really good too.

We're talking about the recent Squier Cyclone and not the Squier Cyclone that came out with the Fender Cyclone right?

Got another Squier Cyclone. Made a couple of tweaks

Well I liked the first Squier Cyclone I bought when they recently came out again so I just bought another. There was a little bit of a difference with the second one as far as details go. First off the wiring was wrong. It would make noise even with the volume pot all the way down. Turns out they go...
