But with that and pedals and DIY fund and PC fund and other necessities I'll have 2 gorgeous squiers but no 'proper' guitars
I swear to god I have yet to find a 500/600$ strat better than my slightly modded squier affinity. But no no no if it don't say Fender you can not be a good guitarist or have decent tone.
I think the Squier stigma is fading - the Vintage Modifieds and Classic Vibes kick all kinds of ass.
I use a VM Jazz Bass, and it's great. Bright, as it's all maple, but it plays flawlessly.
i would love that duo sonic but I am a burly dude who would look weird with a shortscale guitar. I have huge hands too so those necks always feel like toys to me. I could buy it for my wife though!
I have all kinds of want for one of the Squier fretless Jazz Basses; i've played one, and it killed. i vote for "fuck guitar douchebaggery." but if i had $250-ish in untrammeled free equipment bucks to blow, i'd get a Moog ring modulator or a Subdecay Prometheus, because i'm a sick fuck

I would, but I just shelled out $450 for a jazzmaster that is being shipped either today, tomorrow, or the next day. /bragging
Does anybody know if you can still get those Danelectro '59s anywhere? Those always seemed awesome and they were only $150 or less.

Well maybe that comes with value of opinion.
A 50 year old blues nut who's like the sage of a texas village and swears by squiers might be acknowledged. Same for a 20-25 year old building great pedals. But if you're some student playing in a band..
But fuck that really. I'd love a MIJ/MIA Jazzmaster but it's out of my budget. Not all squiers are good but with some looking you can find real pearls among them. Might take a set-up or a new set of pick-ups but heh.
But there's also another good point made on that squier shortscale. I was described by a fellow ILFer as a giant so it might be a little uncomfy.

Nah. I'm sure if I was in a band or something that my bass would be frowned upon by the cool kids with their MIM basses. I would respond with fuzz. Walls of it.
I wouldn't let the short scale throw you on the Duo though - It's a smaller guitar, but unless you're a HUGE guy it would probably look fine on you.
I got my Tele Deluxe for 200 as well. I was so surprised with the price and didn't understand why. It's in mint condition and works great. Fun guitar. It has my favorite strat tones and tele tones.
