guitar for sale! fender squire signed by john mayer. won it off a radio station. okay, i am kidding! i am NOT gonna sell this guitbox, but i am wondering how much it would go for, not having any documents of signage. im a french horn player so the guitar doesnt do me any good. its in great shape, my father is a guitbox connoissuer, he owns five and fixes other peoples' for a hobby. anywya, how much would this little baby go for??

[BizzleLuvin]

oh...pictures soon

[bigel]

why dont u ask ur father if he is a connoissuer he would prolly know the best

[Musician]

a squire guit? copy of fender? squire is a cheap brand. i suppose its black and white fender strat copy

i say its about 130$ new. so maybe 90-100$ used


peace

hmmm well here in australia a fender squire would cost around $250-350 roughly. im not sure how much the signature would boost the price because there are no documents of signature but i dont know :D

[BizzleLuvin]

why dont u ask ur father if he is a connoissuer he would prolly know the best

yeah but the guitar is a cheap learners that would go for like $250. what i am interested is in the signature plus the guitar value

[Musician]

is it a fender or a squire? coz ive never seen a fender squire...

[LittLeWinG]

oops i meant a fender squire PACK would cost that much....lol thats with an amp and assecesories (fuck the spelling :p)

[LittLeWinG]

is it a fender or a squire? coz ive never seen a fender squire...

its the same thing, its a FENDER SQUIRE. Its like a cheap type of fender. one of my friends got one for christmas, cost him $300 and came with a small amp and guitar case and stuff.

[BizzleLuvin]

yeah it came with an amp. a fender squire is a cheaper version of a telecaster, but with a shorter neck for young players.

[bigel]

the signature is invaluable its however much someone is willing to pay for it.....do a search on ebay to see if john mayer signed memoribilia [sp] to see if its worth nething

[Musician]

first time i hear about a fender squire lol

[BizzleLuvin]

^^^ good point, will do!

[beachguy in thongs]

You can get a used beginner guitar and an amp for $100. It's a Fender Esquire. :smokin:

Well, $100 in 1991.

It was a 1970's Peavey amp. Pretty big. And I can't remember the guitar.

[BizzleLuvin]

omg you guys are missing the point totally! i WON the guitar from WRNR, a local radio station. and it was SIGNED by john. i woulda chosen a better guitbox myself, i should know better but damnit, its got a fucking signature on it-thats what i am worried about. (and i got my french horn for $400 and insured it. its the highest quality brass alloy with sterling silver dipped moth piece and tubings, leather case and all. ive peen playing for nine years, every single day and i EVEN WENT TO BAND CAMP. so my lovely matilda is invalueable. BUT THATS BESIDE THE POINT!)

[beachguy in thongs]

John.....................................Lennon? Travolta?

[BizzleLuvin]

john mayer beachguy...did u read my thread or not?

[SomeGuy]

It depends...different brands will sometimes have an artist sign several thoushand of a certain model. Or if he just signed that one personally. THe fact that John Mayer is pretty well know but not legendary...which is what a a signed guitar needs for value. signed photos of his are not going for more than $20 dollars on ebay. The value is probaly within $100 of the squires value...$2-4 hundred dollars i would assume

[beachguy in thongs]

Yeah, I forgot.

Take your guitar/amp to a music store and just ask the guy, he'll give you an honest answer.

The initial production model appeared in 1950, and was called the Esquire. (Fewer than fifty guitars were originally produced under that name, and most were replaced under warranty because of early manufacturing problems.) Later in 1950, this single-pickup model was discontinued, and a two-pickup model was renamed the Broadcaster. The Gretsch company, itself a manufacturer of hollowbody electric guitars, claimed that "Broadcaster" violated the trademark for its Broadkaster line of drums, and as a newcomer to the industry, Fender decided to bend and change the name to Telecaster, after the newly popular medium of television. (The guitars manufactured in the interim bore no name, and are now popularly called 'Nocasters.') The Esquire was reintroduced as a one-pickup Telecaster, at a lower price.

edit: cool, didn't see the pics.

[beachguy in thongs]

There's a difference. Fender's are Esquires. Squiers are Squiers, generic Fender. (Guess what, Chris? I don't care.)

I once opened for Pantera back in 1994 and had my guitar signed by everybody in the band besides Rex the bass player. Diamond Darrel made his signature and wrote Pantera and my band name on it.
I wound up selling it pretty cheap. "$150"
I wish I still had it now, now it would be worth some $$$$$$$

[harmonicminor]

Someguy is right
yours may not be worth much at all
Fender Squire with no name sig = $125 if that
theres no Floyd Rose locking tremelo = cheap ass jap trem = $10 for trem
single coil cheap jap pickups = $10

That guy John Mayer was on a New York TV show a few weeks ago and donated the same type of guitar to some charity the TV station was involved with. The station put it up for sale on E-Bay.

It's a Squire Stratocaster - but they've made many and it depends on the wood, parts, etc. If it's Ash, they're better than the cheaper woods. I have one that I bought about 8 or so years ago and it's very good - but I don't think that the quality of the new ones are up there anymore. I used to own a real 1962 American-made Strat, NOT a reissue, and this Squire is as good, and better in some ways.

My 1990's ProTone Squire Strat says "Made with Pride in Korea". It will never be a collectors' item, or worth more than what I paid, but that's not why I bought it. I put EMG pickups in it, but the ones that it came with are pretty good, also.

The original Fender Esquire guitar was like a one pickup Telecaster, and I believe that Bruce Springsteen plays one. Fender's custom shop may still make them as a special order, but I doubt they have much of a market for them.

Fender's are nice, because they're tough and easy to get fixed. I like the sound of them, but a good jazz guitar they're not - although players like Danny Gatton, or Roy Buchanan, could do anything with a Telecaster.

I would give it to your dad for like fathers day, or his birthday.

my bio father and i arent that close (i live with my two mommas). but it would be a good idea to give it to him. he was the one that told me it was a squire, but he didnt seem interested. i dont blame him. anyway. ive decided to keep the thing for a while and sell it once it starts taking up space.
