I'm just starting out. I'm 15 and have been working doing odd jobs for the last 2 years to save up enough money to buy a guitar. This man new I was looking for one and he said he used to be the manager for Eric Clapton and he so happened to have a guitar left over from them days that Eric used and it was autographed by him. This guy is one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He said the guitar was worth $5,000, but since I only had $2,000 he would let me have it for that since he liked me. I was going to buy a Les Paul, but he said Squire is better. I guess I got lucky.

Ha!

You are one misinformed guy.

Squires are worth no more than $300 at best, and an autograph of Eric Clapton on it doesnt make it play any better. I hardly believe Eric would play a Squire, anyways. Your getting ripped off, man.

noooo
dont do it
dont dont dont dont dont dont doooo itttt
kill that man
shot him down
first of all unless its a squire from 1970's it doesnt worth so much money
then again even if it is from 1970's for that ammount of money you can buy fender's clapton model OR fender texas special guitar which will give you the blues sound with versatility the squiers dont have

Word of advise. Dont trust businessmen! Don't trust people who are selling you something! God!

You'd have to be 3 years old to have that ignorance, man, c'mon!

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess was why several of us died of tuberculosis.

you cap'd your other message before, which is disrespectful to both the eye and to the reader- example;

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I TYPED LIKE THIS FOREVER?

; and so on.

you didnt say funk you, but you understand where i was getting at.
