Squier FSR Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar

Pretty good, but needs work out of the box.
Right out of the box this guitar is very difficult to play. But invest a bit of time, and if you can, some money, and it's honestly great.
Right out of the box the fretboard was all dried up. Immediately oiled the fretboard, added a neck pocket shim, new strings, adjusted the action and intonation. That got this about 75% of the way there. The stock vibrato is workable, if a bit noisy. Same for the bridge, a bit of a rattle. Swapped for an AVRI Vibrato and a AmPro bridge, and this plays as well as any other guitar in my collection. Better and cheaper than a Vintera in my opinion.
