Squier: The singles club



Also new @ Swee Lee are the above, single humbucking Squier guitars. Despite them bearing the endorser's quirks, they are great instruments per se. I'd give my thumbs up for the Deryck Whibley version for that mojo laden '70s-style headstock & the overall tone on offer- great humbucking chunk with liberal top end sizzle (thanks to the all maple neck). The Avril Lavigne manifestation has that great rosewood fretboard warmth but the checkered pickguard is acquired taste but never judge a guitar by its looks (or the endorser quirks for that matter).

sub bro, im deathism from soft.com.sg. juz a comment, i feel that it'll be extremely useful if u include the list price on the products such as a pedal you've bought or a guitar you've seen..

i would have included them:

1. in the reviews @ SOFT
2. here in this blog of the prices have been disclosed

as at date of testing them, the prices were not out yet but a quick reference to swee lee's thread @ SOFT would get you the figures you'd like to see :-)

in any case of immissions, you can get back to the manufacturers for precise quotations.

I feel that the "endorser's quirk" on the Deryck Whibley version adds to the appeal of it, really, heh. Nice touches.

i like the DW version as well, namely because i'm quite a fan of a single humbucking guitar + that guitar sounds great owing to the pickup, namely.

should i get this guitar, i'd do away with the crosses...
