Pretty much can be said for the shitty bike we type about and even sometimes ride but when has that ever stopped anyone?
Tadpole-
Yeah I know! Just grumbling. Part of it is that can’t decide whether I’m doing a full on budget build, or springing for high quality parts. I could probably do it for next to nothing, but scavenging crap parts seems silly given that I’ll just end up with a disassembled them reassembled squire. Equally spending USA fender money on bits for a modest partscaster seems counter intuitive. Might just as well buy a great s/h guitar. Guess I need to make a project budget decision and use that to inform purchasing.

I must admit I’m beginning to question the sanity and economics of building a partscaster. I’m only 120 quid in on a cheap body and neck so far but paint is gonna be 60, hardware a couple of hundred, pickups and harness up to 300 if I want something decent… I know it’s all good fun but when you can pick up s/h squier for 80 in fully working nick, it does seem insane .
