User questions & answers

Question:	Is the picture for the sonic blue jazzmaster wrong? it looks like a different color
Answer:	No, this cover is too small.
Question:	How will it be packed for shipping (How will it be protected
Answer:	The cover has an opening on the bottom. So it goes on top of the amp. No zipper needed.
Question:	What style bridge does this come with? I’m a bit heavy handed and don’t want clangy strings
Answer:	Hello. It's possible, but we never intended for it to be used with anything but a Firehawk 1500. It would be a good question to ask of our Spider V forum community: https://line6.com/support/forum/89-spider-v/.
Question:	Has Amazon or the seller improved the packaging since the critical review in June
Answer:	Yes, you can connect the G10TII to a Spider V 60 or above, and it will allow the transmitter to charge. It's also best to make sure the amp is updated to the latest firmware version.

Squier by Fender

Neck & Fingerboard Highlights

Profile: This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a slim "C"-shaped profile.

Radius: This instrument features a 12” fingerboard radius—a very slight curvature that’s flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius and even a modern 9.5” radius. This fingerboard radius allows for low action and is especially well suited to bending notes and soloing.

Frets: The largest of the fret sizes, narrow-tall frets are tall and narrow, letting you get a better grip on the strings for more control and easier bends and vibrato.

Squier Active Ceramic Humbucking Pickups

For fat, high output heavy rock tone with punchy low-end, this instrument features Squier active ceramic humbucking pickups in both the neck and bridge positions.

Floyd Rose Tremolo

This already-distinctive Stratocaster model features another high-end performance feature—a Floyd Rose dual-locking two-point tremolo bridge and Floyd Rose locking nut for superior string stability, sustain and dynamic tremolo action.

Matching Painted Reverse Headstock

In addition to its many other fine features, this Stratocaster features an elegant matching painted reverse headstock.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this guitar need set up (other than tuning) out of the box
Answer:	You may have to do some slight modification to gat a secure fit.. J.R.
Question:	Is this a mini
Answer:	It's bass wood, similar to alder wood. Thanks!
Question:	Does it have a floating trem
Answer:	Sorry, we have no idea whether fits kmise neck or not. You can check the description for this item for more size information. Thanks!
Question:	Does it contain any accessories along with it, like cable, strap or a bag
Answer:	Nothing is pre-drilled, so yes, had to measure out and drill for the bridge, including for the grounding wire path. In my case I was building a medium-scale bass, if it had been pre-drilled the holes would have been exposed, so this body suited my particular project.

User questions & answers

Question:	I live in Georgia(in Europe), so I'm worried about damaging guitar. it comes without case, what should i do to avoid damage when its transported
Answer:	Giorgi, It comes very well packaged in sturdy cardboard & foam. It arrived to me without any damage. I bought a gig bag for transportation now that I have it.
Question:	does it have a gloss neck
Answer:	No, it's a satin neck.
Question:	Are these covered in a fake wood veneer, or are they solid alder with a clear coat finish
Answer:	I wouldn't say a solid piece of alder, and some are saying 3 to 5 solid pieces put together very professionally, but mine seems to be 3 pieces put together not 5. As for the butterscotch color, it's a beautiful butterscotch with a clear coat so you can clearly see the wood grains straight through. It's interesting because other butterscotch blonde telecasters have a solid color and you cannot see through them, but for this affinity telecaster, it's quite a sight to see in person.
Question:	can i use snigjat guitar stand(https://www.amazon.com/dp/b07wdpwczh/ref=sr_1_39?keywords=guitar+stand) with fender electric guitar
Answer:	Yes you surely can..The stand is light but very nice and i would say as long as you use common sense caution around the guitar when its in the stand then it will be just fine! Nice guitar by the way' I have the same one and love it"

Question:	can i record through garage band
Answer:	honestly I've never separated the cabs I Velcro'd it stacked so its like a full stack, lemme go check THEN...................................... OK checked, heres the lo Down.. the chorus is in full stereo meaning it echos in both right and left speakers however its simultaneous and does not PAN left and right like an echoplex or true stereo echo that I could tell? you'll laugh anyways at the chord that comes with the 103, its like 24 inches long.. WHY? its phone plugs so EASY to find old home style phone cables, dunno your age maybe you've never seen one? yea int he day we had our phones connected to a wall outlet with a cable, its like a small like cat5 (rj45 is the standard name) you've seen cat5 its what your computer hooks up to the Ethernet with..all in all its WELL worth it its a GREAT little amp specially with the full stack setup, the echo works FANTASTIC and quite frankly I wish I had one that worked that well on my bigger stuff despite the non stereo panning, I have a Johnson Two Fifty and a Digitech GSP 2101 studio tube for all that stuff, yea man get a Johnson 150 250 or the digitech GSP 2101 if you want true stereo panning, WOW, I work it in QUAD and can dial it in however I like cuz its FULLY programmable with algorithms!!!tell you what tho I have mic's this little Blackstar and IT ROCKS!!! yup, if you have a board that does stereo panning then there ya go! crank n go, funny what I like to do is plug my acoustic into it then mic the Blackstar through the PA and recording or playing live that way SUCH A NICE CRISP CLEAN SOUND because yo don't have all that power in the way stepping on its own dork soaking up all the interference if ya know what I mean, try it you will be totally surprised, typing in this minuscule dialogue box is difficult at best, why so small Amazon?its a great little box (fact I tried em all cept the orange that I'm told is compatable and it smokes them ALL)not sure what you need it to do but for whatever the hunnerd for both is a FANTASTIC deal considering what it can do and the sound that can come out of it... distortion works well too, I love the little thing i use it at the park then in my bedroom so the neighbors can sleep and I don't have to pay finesfor an electric I use a nice 61 Strat that has some really really hot hand wound Gepettos then those run into a FULL Clapton mid boost, the works, yup so that lil boost in signal really makes that Blackstar a beast in its own rights..all in all I give it 10 stars with the other speaker
Question:	it has a footswitch jack,can you go from a clean sound hit the switch and go into over drive for a solo
Answer:	Blackstar has their own power supply specifically for this. Amazon sells it on it's own for around $20, and I believe when you buy the 3 pack, the Blackstar power supply comes with it. I can't say for sure, as I bought just the single unit. Save yourself the trouble and buy the 3-pack - the amp on it's own is incredible, and the stack is well worth the price. Just make sure it comes with the proprietary Blackstar power supply.
Question:	Does Fuse work with this amp
Answer:	absolutely not ! The fly 3 runs on 6volts /positive tip . When you buy the fly on amazon, the planet waves adaptor is suggested . My friend bought the fly to his son and pluged it on a 9 volts adapter...... he blew the amp . You may pay a little more but buy the right adapter, it works well and saves batteries
Question:	What is in the box
Answer:	Yes, for the extension cabinet, which expands this from 3w to 6w. The 3-pack is a good deal, because a) you get better volume but mainly because b) it includes the power supply, which means that c) the extension cabinet is virtually free.

Question:	Is the left hand classic vibe available in tobacco burst
Answer:	Not that I’m aware of. Left handed I’ve only seen it like this but call your local store and check. Don’t take my word for it I could be wrong.
Question:	Is this a 5 string bass
Answer:	The "Jazz V" option is a 5 string bass.
Question:	Does it come with a Strap
Answer:	I recommend getting a padded 4" or wider strap as the bass is heavy and with the long neck puts a lot of pressure on your left shoulder. You should be able to find a decent one on Amazon for less than $40.00
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Mexico. Don’t be afraid of the quality. I was very impressed. I’ve seen 900 dollar basses that weren’t any better. You gotta step up to the 1499 American made to really see a difference. Very happy with this

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the Lets Go guitar strap
Answer:	Yes, mine did -- July 2020
Question:	did you find the Frets needed filing down? i tried 2 different guitars and both were very sharp beyond the board
Answer:	After reading your question, I went and double checked, and all of the frets were fine.
Question:	Is this guitar a right or left handed axe
Answer:	You can purchase either the left-handed or right-handed axe just by choosing the preferred option on the main screen under the price. I bought the lefty since that is the only REAL way to play like Tim, but the righty is an option for those who are less committed to authenticity. Disappointingly, it appears that Fender has chosen to exploit and capitalize on "southpaw" genetics despite the revenue Mr. Armstrong has brought them - As of this writing, the left-handed Tim is selling for $50 more than its inferior right-handed counterpart.
Question:	Does this come with a strap? Soft case
Answer:	Mine did not come with a soft case, but did include a Tim Armstrong “Let’s Go” strap.
