    Has anybody seen, first hand, a plywood electric guitar body that's been damaged from something that wouldn't have damaged solid wood?

      Once I had to paddle my canoe back to shore during a thunderstorm - but lost my oar. Used a Squire instead. Cheap plywood neck on the thing warped after that, and the cheap electronics stopped working. Definitely would have been fine with a Fender though. Not a Gibson though, the headstock would have broken with the first few paddle strokes.

        I have a Squire J Mascis Jazzmaster and its a great guitar. Not as in great for the money, just great in general. I bought it when I figured I was past the point where I’d be buying what I considered “second tier” guitars. Yea, snobby! But I have been really happy ever since that jazzmaster came into my life.

            I love the MIC Mascis neck; it is very different in feel from my Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster neck, which is made in Indonesia. By coincidence or on purpose, the Vintage Modified neck has less sophisticated shaping and less overall quality (little details like the way the profile 'swells' around the headstock on the VM, and seems to have more blocky heel contours than the Mascis or my MIC Squier Standard neck.)

            I also have a Mascis body I'm refinishing; again by comparison to the VM Jazzmaster, the routes seem cleaner and the Mascis fits US pickguards; the VM won't. Unfortunately I only have a Mighty Mite neck on-hand to use at the moment. The big downfall of the Squier Offsets is the hardware quality; some people have better luck, but I had to swap to a AVRI vibrato and bridge on my VM, and I'm doing the same on the Mascis (made my own bridge conversion bushings.)

              Good wood is good wood. I have cheap guitars that sound great and some custom shop duds.

                  Squier VM HSS, made in India. Think I paid $200 for it, but it’s very versatile. The P90 sounds great through my OR15. [emoji106]

                  If you want an inexpensive guitar to mod, definitely check out Squier.

                    I think the Classic Vibe guitars I've tried offered a lot of value for the money.

                    When you've had budget guitars for a number of years, you may find that your old instrument is holding you back. A quality guitar can inspire you to write great songs, improve your understanding of the Gdim chord while in the Lydian Mode, cure the heartbreak of cystic acne--and help you find true love in the process.

                        Sort of. The customer likes it, but currently has no use for it so I'm keeping it until he wants it back. He's a good friend of mine and I'm playing the **** out of it!

                        He knows I'll buy it eventually.
