  • I was shocked that I found a Dimarzio humbucker inside this 2002 Squier by Fender Showmaster NLT!
    We also give this Squier Showmaster a full guitar Setup!
    In this how to video I'll go step by step through this essential guitar maintenance setup, cleaning the guitar, replacing strings, setting the neck relief, string action height and intonation to Fender specifications.

    In 2002 a friend of mine who ran a second hand shop bought a pallet load of Squier Stratocaster Bullets from a liquidation sale but there was one of the Stagemaster Deluxe in black, HSH configuration in with the Bullets, the build quality was much better than the Bullet, I fret levelled and set up the Bullets and the Stage master, as well as paying me my friend gave me a Bullet and the Stagemaster, I sold them straight away as I had far too many guitars, I wish I had kept them now just for their history.
    I used to also call fretboards fingerboards until I was corrected by my girlfriends sister who taught music history, fingerboards are for non fretted instruments like violin, cello and the like

      I love hearing stories like that, the time before youtube was more wholesome 👌 you live and learn unfortunately, I've sold so many guitars I wish I kept.
      Always fingerboards to me, it's where your fingers go 🤣

    Does the reverse headstock gives a different kind of tensional for all strings compared to the usual one?

    • @theguitarmanifesto

      Makes no difference it's still strung the same just in reverse, if that makes sense?

      For some reason the tuning pegs seem to be a lot closer together making it more difficult to turn the tuners
