#photos of my guitar my dad posted to his blog years back when he bought it
#it’s the most beautiful guitar in the world. it feels warm and alive to play
#as you can see in the first two pics it used to have a newer pickup installed on the bottom. luckily he found an era appropriate online
#it’s from 82 if you were curious
#it says squire on the headstock but it was made on the fender line. they bought squire out and swapped in the name soon after this
#but he got it a little cheaper than it was worth at the time because people aren’t as autistic as him and don’t know about production lines
#basically it wasn’t brand name
#basswood body and dark rosewood on the neck 😋✌️
#it’s actually a replication of a ‘62 model! which was 20 years old at the time. mines now twice that. isn’t that incredible
#i actually saw a modern fender replication of this exact model in an op shop yesterday
#for more or less exactly how much this was bought for
#dad finished his blog post by saying he thinks this is better made than the original. and despite not knowing the og i’m inclined to agree
#people in the comments of his post are saying that this era was supposed to be something special. hehe. they’re right
#i’ve played many guitars. i own this one because my dad collects them and he let me try them all out
#and i have a lot of friends who play guitar and ive hung out with them to do so
#and i’ve never felt one like mine before or since. it’s so obviously beautiful
#when i picked it out i hadn’t played much but i knew right away how good it was. i prefer strat bodies because i can hug my torso around
#them without getting poked like a tele and the necks are thinner than acoustics (small hands. bad)
#unless we’re talking parlour
#love a wee parlour. pa has a little one he got for 30 bucks that’s one of my favourites of his
#he’s insanely good at finding deals
#he fixes them all up
#anyway. the body feels
#how would you even describe it
#heavy. and alive. warm and wet and still full of sap
#i feel like it’s breathing
#it’s sort of the only thing that motivates me to be better. i could cry just thinking about it. i want to be good enough to play it
