Fender Stratocaster Squier Series w/ Gig Bag (Used - 1993)

Here's an interesting early '90s Fender Stratocaster with a few upgrades that set it apart from the usual lineup. The Squier Series was Fender's way of offering more affordable versions of its instruments, built to Fender specifications but with some cost saving measures in materials and hardware. Despite the Squier name on the headstock, these were genuine Fender instruments, not standard Squier models.

This 1993 example features a classic Strat body, rosewood fingerboard, and a Floyd Rose II double locking tremolo system, making it a great option for players who like to use the bar a little more aggressively.

The pickup configuration is another nice feature. It has a Red Lace Sensor humbucker in the bridge position, paired with two Gold Lace Sensor single coils in the middle and neck. This HSS setup gives you the added output and thicker sound of a bridge humbucker while retaining plenty of traditional Strat tones from the two single coils. The controls are kept simple with one master volume and one tone knob.

An interesting Fender from a transitional period in the company's history, particularly for players looking for a Strat with a locking tremolo and a versatile pickup setup. Includes a gig bag.
