5 minutes to make a SQUIRE play like a FENDER!?!?!?

I'd take the whole neck off first to make what he's doing easier.

How come no one tells you how to make a Fender play like a Squier?

 

[eSGEe]

Go to a Pawn Shop-- find a good used Squire-- one thats all worn in and plays nice-- pay the 50.00
go home give it a bath new strings and a proper set up-- and you have a Squire that plays like a Fender --- actually BETTER IMHO because I like the raw unfinshed necks-- the FENDERS have the globs of poly or whatever and are sticky---

Fender necks are like you say, Globs of poly or whatever it is, it is sticky. I don't like those necks either.

Never a video on a five minute mod to make my amateur fat fingers play like a pro is there !!!

At this point, I do most of my setups by feel. I've got the tools to get it roughly where it needs to be, but feeling how it's playing after that tells me just as much.

Fair enough -- I have inlaws up Homer way --- smack my brother in law with it upside the head before you send it -- he wont shoot back or nothing but he will get the joke
Gotta say its from ADRIAN though --- or -- guns might come out------

My old 1987 Squire always played good, even when it was brand new. It's had several levels and crowns over the years. I recently re-contoured the fretboard to a 12" Gibson-esque radius, installed the smallest #6230 fretwire I could find and shaved the frets down to .028" to .032" off the board, so it retained that well-worn feel. Other then the bigger distance between the frets (25.5" scale) it's a great old guitar and it actually plays better, more smoothly and articulately than many of the USA Strats I've played recently...

saw one of them SMALL idCore 10 watters at a Pawnshop for a whopping 35.00

I had one for a hot minute -- when they first came out -- I wasnt thrilled with it-- but for someone 35.00 is a deal
