This is a Stratocaster made in Fender's factory in Mexico in 1998. Fender made identical Strat guitars under 2 names at this time, but marked some with Fender and some with Squier. This is a Squier, but be CLEAR that the Squiers Made in Mexico bear no relationship or resemblance to the current ones made in Asia. This is a fantastic Strat.
Tone is great, and I just set it up--this would cost you 60 bucks in a guitar store. Intonation is right on and the action is as low as I've ever achieved on a Strat--all with NO BUZZ. There is some slight scratchiness in the pickup switch and knobs, but everything else is great. There are a few dings on the body, but it just adds to the cache of the guitar, after all, it just ain't cool to play a brand new guitar anymore.
If this was marked "Fender," I'd be asking 300 or more, but you can grab this for 175. Call
if interested.
