[quote=”lee_UK”]Jap squiers are some of the best, you have a guitar worth upwards of $400, if it were chinese or indian then it might be a bit gay, but only a bit.
seriously Jap squiers are excellent guitars and the second hand price reflects this, if it were a jap vintage strat of the mid 80’s era then you would be looking at $800+ in England they fetch £450-£600, but then we recognise a good guitar when we see one.
I have 2, an early 90’s squire, and a mid 90’s 60’s reissue, both Jap of course.[/quote]450-600 quid?? It was a bargain then. I only paid 80 with a hardcase in London. Another jewel found in “Loot”. I wouldn’t sell it though, it’s such a nice guitar to play. I’ll hand it down to one of my sons when they’re a bit older. Then the little feckers will probably put it straight on EBAY 😯
[quote=”1bassleft”]Robbo, that is an excellent site that I use for dating Fenders. However, I was checking out a Japanese Squier and I seem to remember that there was a period when they couldn´t be manufactured abroad for some reason. To cover this, Fender made a bunch of guitars in Fullerton and simply branded them “Squier”. Try searching into US or American made Squiers to make sure you haven´t got one of those beauts.[/quote]
Unfortunately I don’t think I’ve got one of these rare beasts as mines has “Made in Japan” on the headstock. Now THERE’s a good album… 🙂
Cheers…/Robbo
Not sure if this applies to Squier guitars too, but for dating Japanese made Fenders, it would appear to be 1985-1986. This fits in with about the time I bought the guitar (2nd hand in 1989)…../Robbo
