Musicians! Was this a good deal or no?!
hi,
I had an old desperate friend come by today and too bad for him, he was strapped for cash. He said he neede rent, but I suspect he's into some junk. Anyways, he came by today with this guitar (picture). The guitar had crappy stickers all over it, and the top 3 strings didn't ring out. The neck was so warped that they didn't even ring an open string. I knew all had to be done was loosen the tremlo bar. I did so, and viola! All strings play now, but the neck will have to replaced in a few years.
I cleaned it all up, got all the stickers off, tweeked it a bit, and it looks brand new. It says 'Fender on there, but that's all. I'm not sure of the model and all, but I am curious. Sounds amazing as well. Better than my Strat I think.
I paid the guy $150 in cash and sent him on his way. He gave me a case, strap, and a pack of strings with it. It sounds amazing and goes great with my Fender amp.]
Sorry for the long rant,, but do you think I did good? I love the feel of it. It's so small and I can wrap my big hands around it. Yay or ney?

Nope. It stays in perfect tune, even after bending the shit out the strings.
I do a lot of bending and squealing, and it stays in perfect tune.
It's not American though.Indonisia it says on the back.
I checked for flaws, I found none. No spaces, no nicks. It looks brand new.

And ya, it plays amazingly well. I was expecting it sound like a cat in heat, but it sounds rich, thick, and ballsy.

it could be a dearmond guitar
dearmond is a fender-owned company with factories in indonesia, and they have a few sg models
don't know why they'd put fender on the headstock though
