@Andertons, I just ordered that gorgeous Tahitian Coral HSS Strat, from a US retailer, to use as a mod platform for my version of a Superstrat. Wanted something light enough to travel. Going to get a different color pickguard, and swap for a SSS setup, with a Dimarzio Sugar Chakra in the Bridge position. Usually play Les Pauls so will take getting used to. On the point about the amps, Orange makes some good entry level amps, with nice cleans and great crunch/heavy tones, that would pair well with this line, if the Katana sound isn't your thing(It's not mine, though I did consider it before I picked up an Orange Crush 35RT).

All of the Sonic Strats share the same two bodies and either the maple or laurel neck. Trem or hard tail body. You can buy ANY Strat in the series and mod it with a single humbucker or whatever pick guard you desire as ALL of these are routed exactly the same with room for a humbucker bridge. You could even do two P90s in these. Just pick your color, neck, trem combo and mod away. Additionally… The bodies are slightly thinner. Just use the stock screws if you bolt on a fender neck. The American necks bolt right on to these bodies and Mexican full size trems do fit fine.

Hi Guys! A couple of months ago, I decided at the ripe old age of 75 that it was fine time that I learnt to play the axe so I went to my local guitar shop (Bonners in Eastbourne) and bought myself a Squier Strat (I think it's a sonic) kit in Sun Burst, but woe is me, I found that I had a painful left thumb, possibly arthritis, so yesterday I went back again and bought a Lefty Sonic in black, so now I hope to actually start learning! As a beginner, what pedal do you recommend as a first pedal? Thanks for all the info ~ Richard 🎸🎸

@hawnyfox3411 5 ай бұрын

Interesting post Richard - I hope you're still playing ? Years back I picked up an inexpensive "Behringer V-Amp.II" brand new for a paltry £99.00 - ( PMT Romford ) Crazy amount of options & I'd guess "if" you trawl E-Bay & look for a GOOD 2nd-hand example Not sure they're still going (I'm afraid) as I'm about 15 yrs younger than you, so haven't kept track It sure does save on buying some of these hideously expensive pedals of today tho' - One trick Pony type Back when I was a Teenager (1979-1982), I bought an "MXR Distortion Plus" - cost £110 in 1980 I also bought an "Electro-Harmonix" BIG-MUFF for a (much cheaper) £65.00 & I still have it Fascinated to hear that you (apparently) swapped hands (!)

ALL Sonic bodies are routed for three pickups. HSH. Just drop in any Fender 11 hole (late 1963 and newer) guard and it’ll line right up. You can actually use 54-63 guards too but you’ll have to make a couple hole changes. No big deal. The thinner body is only a hair thinner off the back side. Everything is still vintage Fender spec other than the narrow trem spacing

@mathias6423 11 ай бұрын

They white and black Telecaster model with only a humbucker that you did not have (shown on screen) would be an interesting guitar to have as a project or mods-platform if you will. I do not get why you never see a tremolo arm on a telecaster though, why is that so rare? Even if you guys are salesmen and work or own a big store, I think you should talk about how the fretwork and necks are out of the box. I have heard a lot of rumors about cheap guitars like these, that they almost every time needs some kind of setup before they are playable more or less. Like the frets are sticking out sharp or the intonation is whacky. I have never heard you guys mention anything about things like that, would be interesting to know about these "issues" that seems common on cheap guitars when ordering from you guys for instance.
