Hmmm, sound cool! And it looks so, too!!!
If the sound is the way it looks...
Seems to be the most exclusive model so far!
Let's see what's next :D

James, that's the Fender Squier SE100 Strat you have there. Sweet guitars. :)

Now then--I believe I'll have that drink. Spiced rum and Coca-Cola®, please. :P

My strats.


On the right, my lipstick red 1989 Squier Strat "the veteran" Bought new on my fifteenth birthday in 1991. It has a Dimarzio Soapbar at the bridge and a Kahler Professional tremolo, I replaced it's original neck with a 1983 Fernandes neck which had a (non original) Lock nut installed.
On the left, "The Blonde" which like "The Veteran" has a Fernandes neck, the body comes from a sale of strat bodies that a collegue of mine informed me of. It has two fender American standard pickups (Neck and Middle) and a Dimarzio HS3 at the bridge. I installed a Graphtech nut and a stringtree and they really keep the thing in tune when I use the whammy.

Go here for a high res picture of my strats

Do I remember right: that J-man isn't old enough to buy alcohol? or even drive a car? :? Well Joel, maybe by the time you save up for that Euro vacation you can track him down :D .

Say, I think you're right, Tdot!

James, are you old enough to enter a pub and order a drink? If you're not old enough, I'll just wait for that drink until you are.

Telenator, I love your '79!

This is my H/S/S. It felt right to me at first play, so that's how I knew it was the one.

He could buy you the coke, and you can add your own rum. :P

[slack]

Here's one of them. A 2001 AV 62RI in Inca Silver.

[mojocasterman]

great color for a strat...

[Telenator]

"Telenator, I love your '79!"

Thanks OutlawSteph1975! It's one heavy guitar with perhaps, the slimmest Strat neck I've ever played. We're talkin' almost Bonnie Raitt slim!

I love that snap you get from a hard tail too!

Sorry Joel, it isn't, It has the same headstock, which leads me to believe it's the same generation, possibly the same factory, but it has different pup covers (notice in my pics the silver print on the pups), different neck, and the body is alder rather than agathis from what I can see.

It really bugs me that I don't know what it is, I want to get myself another as a backup! It's the best Squier I have EVER played, better than most Mex standards I've played too..

So ladies and gents, that drink is still on offer, any takers?
Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

Well I'm 17, here you have to be 14 to go in a pub and order from the bar (obviously this excludes alcohol), and from the age of either 15 or 16 you can order an alcoholic drink with a meal (though I'm pretty sure you can only have one), and you have to be 18 to drink as much as you like :D , but none of these things stop me from pub crawling. 8)

Oh, well--that drink can wait.

James, did you buy that Strat new or used? If used, do you suspect it's a partscaster--one that someone might have put together from a lot of good Strat parts? It's a heck of a great-looking Strat.

Here's my '98 MIA Deluxe. A real sweet thing. Not much of a story behind it, but it was a great buy used at $465 shipped.

My fave is my Custom Shop strat. It was one of the earliest custom shop strats- before it was 'open to the public' or made any production models. It was built to order by JW Black. Silver sparkle Nitro finish is aging greenish gold. I swapped the pickguard and pickups from an old '66 I had onto it. Matching silver sparkle caps. It's the one I recorded 'certain stuff' on, so you might have heard what it sounds like. Note the bent talent lever!
