FS Squier Sub-sonic (Jackson Soloist lite)

metalfiend666 · 07-15-2008, 05:13 PM

As I don’t play the thing, I’m selling my Sub-sonic 6 string. It was one of the first Squier models to be released after Fender bought Jackson, and it’s basically a baritone fixed bridge soloist.

Korean made (and well made at that), maple through-neck, rosewood fretboard, alder body wings, 27” scale, 2 humbuckers, fixed bridge, reversed headstock, sparkle black paint. The neck feels very much like Jackson’s “comfort” neck profile, so it’s kinda medium-ish. It’s still fast to play, even with the painted back.

I bought this in December as NOS (it has the 2001 10th anniversary sticker of the place I bought it from on it to prove that), and I’ve probably spent longer setting it up and cleaning the frets than I actually have playing it. As far as I can tell there’s not a mark on it apart from a few clear coat swirls from the case and a handful of hairline pick scrapes. Any marks you see in the pics are actually dust.

It’s currently set up in B, E, A, D, F#, B tuning using the lowest 6 strings from an Ernie Ball 10-56 set (13 to 56), and sounds very nice considering it’s on stock no-brand pickups. The acoustic tone is very nice, so with some Duncans this’ll scream like you’d expect a Soloist to. It’s definitely on a par with Korean made guitars of today in the £500ish region.

It comes with one of those mega cheap gig bags that’re just one layer of nylon as it was all I could blag when I bought it. It’ll be packed properly in a guitar shipping box though.

I’m after £120 posted in the UK (original list was £600!), and I’ve got great iTrader rating’s here and a 100% positive Ebay feedback of over 100 as jamescater1.

not meaning to be a jerk but I believe this is a set neck guitar not a neck thru...I could be wrong however.

With a neck-to-body joint like that, it's almost certainly neck-thru.

The specs I could find online say neck-through, and it certainly looks like a through-neck to me.

Price drop as I'm moving and some fucker smashed the screen on my car last night.
