Anyone here have a Squire vista musicmaster?

[Mikechickenhead]

Just wondering on how they sound/quality. Etc...

Ive been looking to buy one for a few weeks but nothing on ebay/guitarcenter.com or anywhere else for that matter...LOL
Thanks!

I know the basses are pretty good, never played a guitar one though. The vista series in general are supposed to be fantastic. Same with the classic vibes and vintage modified series. Expect to pay slightly more than non-vista series Squiers though.

Obviously as with pretty much all guitars, there are also bound to be duff ones.

yeah,
ive heard the pickup on them is a little blah...but i love the look of them. AND they are ridiculously cheap ($200-$250)

i've not played one, but i have a supersonic and a venus. the musicmaster was the only vista series model made in china and not japan. i've heard they are fun little guitars to play.

yeah im gonna do the whole "buy before i try" with that one... just love the look of it with the bass pickguard and whatnot.
I want a mint green one...seen a black and coral on ebay recently but the 3 green ones were sold before i had the $$$

I have one.

It's my beater guitar. It feels cheap compared to the rest of the Vista series. It's pretty noisy and perfect if you want to play punk or whatever. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for jazz. And for the price you can't beat it honestly. It's the black sheep of the Vista, for obvious reasons, but it's still a fun guitar.

yeah i know its a "blacksheep" of the vistas but its oh so neato lookin! Love the look of the musicmaster bass in guitar form.

I've thought about buying one of these for some time but always put it off for one reason or another. I think if it had been done to the same specs as the Japanese ones it would've been a very popular guitar.

If and when I ever do pick one up I wouldn't mind doing a similar set up as this.

[Mikechickenhead]

nice!
Ive heard that the pickup in 'em is kinda weird sounding anyway.

I know this is a dead thread but I wanted to revive to ask if anyone knows where I can source a bridge from one of these squier musicamasters. I am super desperate as I just acquired a 1965 duo sonic body that someone converted to string through. The squire vista musicmaster bridge would be ideal. I don't like the tornado and the string holes are located slightly different. Any help would be appreciated. I saw Angela instruments had them years ago but I can't find anyone that has one currently. Thank you

Is this the white one?
The original bridges turn up on ebay occasionally, I would grab one of those and forget about those wonky string-thrus.

Maybe you're not finding it because you're looking for a "Squire" Vista..
