96-97’ Squier Musicmaster from the Vista series on the left, and (oops I forget exactly) mid-late 70’s Fender Musicmaster on the right. So so so very different in almost every way. I love you Squier, but I’ll take the Fender this time, hands down. #tymguitars #guitartech #awfulshorttermmemory #squier #fender #musicmaster #bass #guitar #repairshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

Finished mod job on this Standard Squier Strat, by way of swapping out the original pickups for some tonerider Hot 90’s. The customer picked out a blank sheet of black pearloid for me to cut the guard from annnnnnd…while pearloid anything is never my personal go to, I think this actually turned out looking pretty good. Wired with a master volume, tone and a 3 way toggle 👍#tymguitars #guitartech #customguitar #squier #fender #stratocaster #p90 #guitarshop #repairshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

Getting reacquainted. This is the first guitar I gave a “made to fade” char finish, which feels like a lifetime ago! It’s actually a Squier body that I stripped, with a ‘52 reissue neck, and a set of Twisted Tele pickups (my favourite #fender set). It’s made to fade, but I’ve hardly had the time to play this thing anywhere near enough so I’d say it’s time to remedy that. #telecaster #madetofade #squier #tele #guitar #guitartech #guitarist #char #yakisugi #customguitar #cursedobjects #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother

Modified Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar, for Donnie from @forevrforevr I was pleasantly surprised with these Wilkinson P90s after dropping them in and after a little tweaking of their heights, this was sounding pretty damn nice. #squier #jaguar #fendersquier #surfsupace #p90 #guitartech #guitarmods #tymguitars #guitar #repairshop #brisbane #supportindependent #offsetguitars #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

One of the perks of working @tymguitars is getting to be around, when someone drops a sneaky (and otherwise sold out) pedal in the cabinet, it’s not a regular thing! In all fairness, I let this sit there for a couple of days in case a customer noticed it, but after that, it was coming home with me. I actually bought my first fuzz from Tim, back when he had turned part of his house into a store, that’s going back, a long time! This one, made by him, has some strange coming full circle vibes or something, I dunno. What I do know is it’s a flippin’ amazing pedal, the artwork is killer, and I’m stoked to work in such a rad a place, for a guy with so much integrity, as well as with the awesome team he’s built around him…it’s bloody unreal. Arghh I’m having feelings. Stay rad ✌️#fuzz #tymguitars #supportindependent #isaiahmitchell #tymeffects #brisbane #fuzzpedal #squier #guitar #beexcellenttoeachother

‘87 Squier Telecaster, with a freshly loaded 1960’s Dearmond gold foil pickup. @tonyguitarnerd brought this in to be made a little more tour ready, a few days ago. It ended up playing as good as any great Tele I’ve had in my hands, but the previously installed neck humbucker was just too hot, and dominating in middle position. Tony had a dig around in what I can only imagine is the “parts drawers” of dreams and pulled out a vintage gold foil. There was no way I was not making time to load this thing, so after a few minor mods to the freshly cut pickguard, in it went. It (perhaps by a bit of luck) is a perfect match for the bridge pickup, and while it sounds amazing by itself, middle position had me gobsmacked. I’ve never really made use of middle all that much, but in this case, to my ears it was absolutely where it’s at! You might be able to catch it in action when Tony plays with @gentlebenandhisshimmeringhands at Netherworld Arcade this Sunday. Thanks for bringing this one in, and have a rad tour! #telecaster #goldfoil #guitartech #guitarrepair #tymguitars #brisbane #customguitar #squier #guitars #beexcellenttoeachother

It should come as no surprise to learn that Squier guitars are some of my all time favourites. This 1988 example (though slightly modified) owned by @tonyguitarnerd came in for a setup and won me over instantly. I love my job. #guitartech #guitarrepair #tymguitars #repairshop #brisbane #squier #fender #strat #stratocaster #straturday #stayrad #gentlebenandhisshimmeringhands #beexcellenttoeachother

I’ve got a couple of jobs to catch up on, after being hit with a hellish virus earlier this week, but I’m damn well looking forward to getting back into the swing of things today! We’ve got an instore gig happening @tymguitars this Saturday, as White Dog (Sydney) play some jams from about 2pm, but I’ll be around most of the day for any minor emergency repair needs. Swing on by anyways and check out the all ages set from the band, buy some records, or a guitar, or just hang out. #guitar #guitartech #guitarrepair #tymguitars #repairshop #brisbane #fender #squier #stratocaster #beexcellenttoeachother

Busy day ahead, with a huge shipment of parts arrived that need sorting, and finishes that need finishing, but first - a bit of fun to be had with this thing. I’m so surprised every time I plug it in, just how awesome that one humbucker sounds, and the neck is insanely comfortable. #squier #vistaseries #musicmaster #offsetguitars #fender #guitar #beexcellenttoeachother #brisbane #dslstraps
