maxime Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 I bought a Squier strat a few years ago for around £300. I can't find any guitars on online stores that look just like it. Huge thanks to anyone who can help! Quote
MartinB Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I think it could be a Vintage Modified Stratocaster HSS: http://www.squierwiki.com/VM-Stratocaster-HSS-(2nd-Version) Do you have a photo of the back of the headstock? The markings and serial number might help to confirm it. Quote

EdwardMarlowe Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Assuming it's all original, I'd agree - Vintage Modified. Anod to the guys who bought late 60s CBS Strats and then added their own HBs to the bridge for a HB tone back in the days when aftermarket pups first became a thing, and fatter or squeal-free Single coils hadn't yet come around. To my eye, the older style maxchnie heads are a point to note in identifyling the model; I'm sure I've seen a HSS Standard Squier with the big headstock in recent years, but they didn't have the vintage-style machnie heads, rather the squarer, modern ones. People often modify the pickups on Squiers, but unless there's a realproblem, it's rare to see 'em switch out the machine heads. (If anything, I think folks are more likely to switch to modern or locking ones than this vintage style, though personally I think these are the best loooking Fender ever did). Quote
