Hey Guys, thought I would share! This is a 1997 MIJ Squier Supersonic that I recently obtained. I snagged it a few weeks back but never shared, so here it is. I didn't want to post it until I changed the neck pickup (the original was a bit hollow sounding). Anyway, I first came across one of these guitars seeing a band I love (Tera Melos). Their guitar player (who plays with one of the largest boards I have ever seen, and he actually uses them) plays the blue sparkle version of this guitar. The band may not be everyone's cup of tea, however they are worth a view on youtube if only to see this guy dance on his board and create insane sounds. The moment I saw it, I fell in love and knew I had to have one. It has such a cool look and I love the reverse headstock. It certainly wasn't cheap, but the quality is outstanding. The say the quality of the old Squiers that were made in Japan rival that of the american releases. I honestly cannot say I disagree. It plays like a dream (my small hands love this short scale) and sounds amazing. The original set up of the guitar was 2 volume pots and no tone control. When I swapped the neck pup I changed that to master volume/master tone.  Anyways....here it is.

Trebley lower strings!

Nice grab, digging the style of those.

I was just looking at one on Reverb on my phone at a traffic signal.. then I get home and see this. Not helping GAS at all. I love how these look. Reminds me of my Ibanez Talman only in reverse like a lefty. I will have to keep my eye  out for one some day.

Added to the long list of "must haves".

That's a sweet axe man. And Tera Melos I haven't heard that name in a while had to listen to a couple tracks to get reacquainted. Definitely some cool stuff.

Talmans are so cool. Does yours have the lipsticks?

Whoa. I didn't even know that model existed. Awesome!

Guitarist from Journey (can't remember his name) pointed out that there is a practical use for reverse headstocks.  It shortens the high E string making it more 'slinky'.  I had never considered that:). Now you Know and Knowing is half the battle.

Good info, will double check that though. Could just use a slinkier e though :p
