Couldn't you have just bought a Squire for cheaper?

Maybe?
I do like the hardware on these things, though.

Sorry mate couldn't resist and I did say I was gonna chill the rest of tonight.Oh, that tumbleweed is great.
I know you're just jealous.
Hope the axe is a winner.

If it turns out to look decently made and a good player, my thoughts are to put a stinkin' hot pickup at the bridge and retrofit a decent trem with a locking nut. Maybe some kind of cosmetic work - I may let loose my teenage daughters on it for that part.
But I will post some pics of it when I get it, even if I decide not to keep it.

Hey, I'm due for a cheapy. Either a Guitar Fetish, an Eastwood or a Rondo.
Let me know how it is.

Hey, Muttley, in case you're wondering what I meant by that crack -(Muttley, of all people!
Usually you're very businesslike and serious in this forum.
You poked me in the eye that time, though!

Hey, I may be mean spirited but I got a sense of humour to back it up

i think that axe might be a winner. i've looked at those before online.
i've got a schecter strat copy with a wilkinson trem and locking tuners w/graphite nut, and it stays in tune really well. even serious trem work don't bother it. i can get carried away with the divebombing and come up a little off sometimes.
i think that hardware combo will make a cool axe. the pickups will probably sound respectable.

Damned if I do
The GFS pickups are supposed to be pretty nice.

Love that picture. Please tell me it's a dolphin!
And why isn't that guy turned around? It looks like he'd be in a great position to catch that wave.

Thanks, e-man, we'll see.
It turns out that this guitar is equipped with their GFS "Texas stagger" set that has a really hot wind in the bridge position. Could be interesting.

i think what we all really want to see is a showdown of the big cheapie copy brands...rondo, eastwood, guitar fetish, etc.
my next project is a Rivers Cuomo tribute guitar, and ill be on the hunt for a double fat strat copy. the blue/brown tortoise combo from rondo is pretty much perfect in terms of looks...
but who makes the best all around cheap copies for us dimwitted guitar nuts to modify the hell out of?
