Cheap easy ways to prevent guitar theft (and gear theft)
I've learned quite a bit on how to prevent gear theft over the years. There are many methods of gear theft prevention, but here are the ways I've found that actually work.
Earlier this week I picked up my Squier Strat and started playing it, but noticed I was getting some serious string buzz, so I put it down. The next day, I picked it up to play again, and there was no string buzz.
Was this magic? No.
Last Saturday I went over to Sam Ash in Tampa, Florida and they had just received a new crop of Squier guitars. Included in this crop was a Squier Jazzmaster in Candy Apple Red. I picked it up and strummed it a bit.
Take the Squier Affinity Telecaster. Make no mistake, that is one seriously good guitar. It may have a price that's cheap, but it doesn't feel cheap at all. The playability and sound you get out of it is truly top-notch stuff. More on that in a moment.
There's some guitar gear out there that many players think have some magical sonic quality to it when in reality there's really nothing magical about it at all. One of these is the ADA MP-1.
