Tell little guy Russ has 6 or 7 Squires. About 15 years ago, Fender tried to convert Squires to a line that was slightly better than bottom line Fenders. They were made in Japan and are really good "beaters".

Please have him send me something showing him playing.

After all, us "guitar dudes" need to stick together.


Squires have come a long way. I have seen some pros using them, especially the new vintage ones.
I sold my Gibson Les Paul Custom 33 years ago for a tickes to the US.
Last year I went out and bought myself an american made Fender Stratocaster. Wow. what a beauty with awesome sound.
Have been practicing almost every day too.
Signed up for some video courses as well. Wow. awasome stuff.
Did not exist 33 years ago.
Bless the internet. ...
Yes. Guitar players stick together ....
