Repped!
As a general rule, buying cheap guitars online site unseen is probably not a good way to get into playing. Finding something that plays well, fits you, and fits your budget is the way to go if practical. But if it's the only means, it's better than nothing.
Also, I find it amusing my $58 guitar looks, plays and sounds as well, or better than a $5800 guitar.
Learn to super setup your own guitar and you'll always be there when you need you.
If you want to waste cash and line your walls with 100 guitars then have at it.
These DLX are reportedly heavy for me. Perhaps they should use Alder. And each body wood can vary a lot in weight. Swamp ash basically just means a lighter ash. Alder is lighter on AVERAGE.
They should post the weight and let you pick lighter (or mid or heavy) as available. FYI in case weight matter to you. And you can know the fine guitar you are getting.
This is where people confidently spout things that are demonstrably wrong. Squires as an Asian fender, mainly are have the same issues as other Asian guitars. The tuners are metric, they absolutely can't use fender tuners without fill and redrill, the bodies can't fit a fender bridge, etc. Mexico Fenders are a lot closer to being interchangeable with USA parts. All the squire parts are made in China.
wtf is wrong with people.

The Modern Players do use some non-standard sized parts though.

For someone who has such familiarity with aftermarket bridges don't you know that most squires aren't full thickness bodies and can't use regular bridges?
Again, I don't have Bullets or Affinities so I can't speak to those. I specifically said CV and VM which have full-thickness bodies and mostly parts compatible (except maybe bridges, as I said, I never tried to fit Fender USA bridges to any Squier bodies. I've found the aftermarket ones to be superior most times anyway). I could provide plenty of videos of people building partscasters with them by mixing MIM and some MIA parts. The MIJ Fenders aren't always compatible with MIA more than the CV and VM Squiers are.
I've built dozens of partscasters over the years. How many have you built? I personally don't care what you believe, I will continue building what I want with what I want, regardless if you say they don't work or not
Here's a MIA Fender neck on a VM body: https://www.strat-talk.com/thread...st-2226795. Maybe you can go there and tell him it doesn't work according to some rando internet "luthier"
Thank you for your opinion and especially reports; but since anyone can say anything then something we can verify is what matters here.
