WTB - something with single coils and a trem for under £550

pottolom

Anyone got anything? Preferably a Fender or G&L or similar. Nothing pointy or shreddy.

Must have single coils (or G&L MFDs) and a trem. Nothing with humbuckers (so no HSS guitars).

Not really into short scale (Jags or Mustangs).

Looking at £550 or under delivered in the UK.

Thanks - looks lovely. Actually, I should have said, I'm sorted for P90s already, so I'm definitely looking for something more at the Fender end of spectrum.

How about a Godin Progression?

Sorry, posted before I was finished. I have it on Reverb at the minute, have a look as I won't be able to post pics here until tomorrow, would do it for £550 posted.

Thanks. Looks lovely. Not quite my cup of tea, somehow. Would definitely prefer a Fender or a G&L.

Fender MIJ 2016 short run Sixties Stratocaster. Olympic White poly finish. Rosewood fingerboard, small frets, 7.25" radius.
Some small dings, on the edge, near the jack socket. 

The stock pickups are considerably better than the average Fender MIJ single coils. IMO, the bridge position pickup is a bit weedy. An upgrade would not hurt. 

Seven sound mod. Push-pull pot under the upper tone control adds the neck position pickup to whatever the selector switch has engaged.

Price with case and delivery will be under £550.

I know now it has a humbucker in the bridge, but here are 3 different single coil tones (either coil split and both coils in parallel) available on the rotary switch of the tortie pickguard - plus full HB if you ever wanted it?

Too shreddy?

Any particular colour in mind ?

Thanks. That looks really nice. Will see if anything else pops up, but that is definitely a contender. Do you know what kind of pickups they are if they're better than average MIJ? How's the neck profile? How bad are the dings?

Thanks. I may well end up going down the route of a new G&L Tribute, although I'm more into the Doheny I think.....

That actually does look lovely, but it is a bit too shreddy for me.

Not really. Prefer a Fender 'custom colour' to a sunburst, unless the 'burst is especially nice.
