SOLD: Squier CV50s Strat Neck + bits

guitargeek62 · November 2013

First up, a pretty nice Squier CV50s neck that I bought last year as part of a complete Lake Placid Blue model. I then swapped out the body for a sherwood green one, and now I've swapped this neck for another CV50s one that is more tinted as it suits the green better! This one is fairly light in colour, pretty much the same as a Mexican Standard if you want a reference point. Date stamp on it is July 20th, 2009.

Specs are as per Fender norms so; 55.5mm heel width, 43mm nut, 21mm depth at first fret, medium frets, very little wear, and stock kluson type tuners. It weighs 457g/1lb-1/4oz on my kitchen scales minus tuners, if that matters?! I'm after £85 delivered, and will chuck in a threaded-insert kit for you too if you so wish. SOLD

More pics of everything here.

Next are some mystery lipsticks. I think I got these off of @Jooky at some point so maybe he can shed light on their origin? They look as though they're Chinese judging by the ROHS stickers, but other than that your guess is as good as mine?! I haven't even unwrapped them except to take these pics as the project I bought them for changed somewhat! How about £17.50 delivered? SOLD

I've also got two A3 sheets of pickguard material that's unused. One is an Allparts Mint/B/M piece, and the other is a Gibson-style 5-plyfrom Stew-Mac. £15 for either, or £25 for both. I can take pics if required. SOLD

As usual, I'll knock some off if you buy multiple items etc.

I finally found out that the Lipstick ones are the rather nice Blues Tubes Axesrus sell.

Alnico V magnets and toward the warmer end of vintage iirc

These are them and here is a sound sample thingy

Cheers! I wonder if these are an older version then? They have the flat baseplate rather than the bent legs version? Intriguing...

Trem's sold.

in which case, I may be totally wrong. When I bought them - 3 or 4 sets, I forget - originally I was told they were Kent Armstrong and blithely made a prat of myself over the whole shaboom...but have never really got to the bottom of it since

They sounded verily good though where I used them, so I guess it doesn't matter that much..)

LSC80's are by Artec, and i'm fairly sure they're ceramic, not alnico.

guitargeek62 · November 2013

You might well be right there Dodge, just found these on their site but the numbers have changed slightly again. Chances are it's the right lineage though;

Dodge · November 2013

Yep, that's the same series. LSC's are ceramic, LSA's are alnico and the 70 and 80 is the length of the tube in mm. 70mm fitting in a stock Strat pickguard rout.

I've got some GFS-branded LSA70's in my Pacifica 12 string and they're brilliant, I've also got the Duncan equivalents in a Strat and they're quite close in performance - I wouldn't spend the extra on Duncans if I bought more.

jonnyburgo · November 2013

would these be an improvement on stock Dano's?

Soz @Jonnyburgo - completely missed your reply and forgot about this thread! I'd been a bit distracted the last few weeks with exams and coursework deadlines piling up.

To answer your question, I'm honestly not sure. I've only played a recent Dano once, but it was unplugged! :-O

JookyChap · December 2013

@johnnyburgo I think they are more of a Strat sound than a Dano one tbh, sheep in Wulfes afghan and all that
