korean squier stratocaster serial numbers

Like I said, I don't know your local used guitar market, but one wonders if maybe you took that $140 USD, and added a bit more, you might get something newer, that won't be as worn-out. People do find value in having a Stratocaster that has the decal displayed prominently, and has the tiny 'Squire Series'. Is spending $140 USD on a guitar that needs $150 USD worth of fretwork a good idea?Īnd these guitar usually have the dreaded 'Trapezoidal Tuners':Īnd any guitar that old will have a lot of wear on the electronic controls (pots, switch) What to watch for? well any guitar this old may have so much fretwear that it might require fretwork to play properly. For instance, I do believe your target guitar has a laminate body, as opposed to the Made in Mexico version, with the solid, USA-made body. With the Korean guitars, it's all Asian-made, and they have less value on the market. So having one is a bit like having a budget 'Standard Stratocaster' The 'Squier Series' Strats that are made in Mexico get a lot of press because their wood components were made in American, and the hardware was imported from Asia. I think the guitar you're looking at is one of the 'Fender Stratocaster, Squier Series' instruments, like the two linked below: Between 19 some rare Korean Stratocasters exhibited the serial numbers M1 (or J1) and M2, respectively. It has so many things that point in one direction and then an equal number go in another.If it's in very good condition, I would say that it's a decent deal (but I don't know what the guitar market is like in your area) but the HMs had the headstock painted in either the body colour or black with bad 80's graphics. I seem to recall (vaguely) something called a Contemporary Strat. The fretboard (21 frets) is what appears to be Rosewood and feels as if it has a slight scalloping to the frets and has a truss rod. while the Squier Stagemaster were a set neck). She has a 5 way switch and one volume and 2 tone knobs. so maybe Ash? It has one single coil in the neck position, one single coil in the mid position and one humbucker in the bridge position. It is a very heavy (compared top others I've toyed with)wood. It has the narrow Strat body (not a simline) with the input jack on the edge rather than the face. It is a Korean made Squier Stratocaster but it seems to have quite a few particulars I've not seen on any others. so I have been been the sole owner (and I haven't changed it's ssetup. I obtained it back in 1989/90 at a local music store. I can't seem to make out what it is really.
