I bought this from Andertons in store after trying it on a whim, it was such a great sounding guitar, and lovely and resonant too so I was smitten. I was also going through a Peter Buck phase and it was a good fit for his earlier live tones.
Unfortunately I have a lot of guitars now, so this just sits on its own on a stand and never gets played and for such a lovely guitar thats a crime really.
So it's a Squier Classic Vibe 72 Custom and I think it's a 2022 model, resplendent in black which is hard to get a clean shot of! Everything is as it left the factory, except it's had new Kluson tuners fitted, and new compensated brass saddles. (I'll include both the original tuners and saddles) It's currently strung with 10s and sounds great tbh. I liked the sound of it so much, I nearly spent a good few hundred upgrading the pickups.
Specs as below, has a fatter neck than the spec suggests (dimensions to follow) and actually a hint of flame! It weighs around 8lbs I think (will weigh it also).
