Orange is young, full of daring... Oh boy, working on this Fender Super-sonic, has been a mixed bag for me. I've wanted one of these (well the Squier model) since they first appeared in the mid/late 90's and, well, this is the first time I've been able to try one, and damnit it's a bit of an awkward little thing. PERSONAL OPINION AHEAD - I'm not totally bagging out the guitar, it does sound great, and has plenty going for it, but for me, there's just so much going on here that makes it more of a pain to play, than anything else. The balance of the guitar is completely shot. It hangs from the strap as though it WANTS to fall towards the floor face down, which is probably my biggest issue here. It also makes it very difficult to chord, or really index where you are on the neck because it just feels wrong hanging like that. On top of that, given the upside downsies body, with the toggle, on I guess the upper horn, you have only a tiny amount of strumming space between it, and the bridge, so it feels really hard to dig into chords with any gusto. I just felt really cramped up. Maybe it's just me? These are still one of my fave daft guitars, and with some simple mods, a lot of the problems could be ironed out, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to grab one. That finish though, hells yeah! #fender #supersonic #guitartech #guitars #guitarepair #tymguitars #guitar #repairshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #winnlane #personalopinionsorryguys #beexcellenttoeachother

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope...Actually, if the owner of this guitar, is out there, could you swing an email to the shop, been trying to call you for weeks about the work you want done, but the phone is always switched off and we don't have another point of contact for you ✌️#tymguitars #guitartech #guitarepair #howlongcanpathogenssurviveindryblood #guitar #repairshop #fortitudevally #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother

Univox Hi-Flyer Phase 4. A couple of weeks ago I posted a small clip of a guitar with a cracked heel joint, well, this is the very same guitar, all back together and good to go (back home to its owner @del_preston_ who plays guitar for @waax_band). This thing is super thin and super fun to play, also sorry Chris, I had to pull the stage tape off ✌️#tymguitars #guitarepair #univox #madeinjapan #guitartech #vintageguitar #repairshop #thevalley #brisbane #guitar #offsetguitars #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

A couple of new nuts done this week. Excellent fun times, as I do actually love making these things, and getting them spot on. #tymguitars #guitarepair #guitartech #fender #gretsch #jaguar #supportindependent #repairshop #guitarshop #thevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

So, it turns out that I really want a Flying V. This is one of the rad parts of the job, so many guitars come through the shop that I've never played before! I know, there are plenty of V's out there to try out, but probs not too many 1974 Honduras Mahogany Gibsons in the near vicinity. This was in for a new nut for @tonyguitarnerd who has also done a write up involving this guitar on his site, which you should go check out now. It's so much fun to play, such a great neck and much to my surprise it's really comfortable!!! The want is real ✌️#tymguitars #gibson #flyingv #vintageguitar #guitartech #guitarepair #guitar #supportindependent #guitarshop #repairshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #sorad #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)
