I've had the same guitar for 30 years and it's still one of my favourites. Super comfortable to play and stable. Only upgraded it with Seymour Duncan JB pickups. Mine's neck has aged incredibly over time.

After getting my almost 30 year old strat I finally start to get why people love "vintage" guitars lmao still would not pay the extortionate prices that some people ask for them

I have the same guitar as your friend in the finish. I am not original owner as well and oddly mine came with the back plate missing too. Thank you for the information and yes there is very little online about this era of Japanese Squire Stat. I am still getting used to the Floyd Rose.

No problem, happy to have helped in any way possible! I gave up trying to use the Floyd Rose, I'm afraid to break something as the guitar is not mine and I am not sure of the use it had beforehand so I try not to use it as most as possible haha

I have a similar one from 1993, flame top, the previous owner replaced the tuners for some fender and the pickups too, I don't like the Floyd rose too so I just blocked it few days ago, also mine looks old and the pickguard looks aged, I really like its sound.

I know someone who owns a reddish washburn guitar that was hit by a BULLET. A friend of him worked at some police department and his gun wasnt working "ok" . One bullet hit the guitar.. no one got hurt. Several bullets hit the walls and floor. there were two persons at that time. No one got a scratch. It was a miracle beyond any means and the funny thing is that he still uses that broken guitar through Amplitube and it sounds amazing. With digital anything sounds great.

those things crack like hell. and they stick out and can scratch you. Mine is naturally reliced over time. has a real nice look to the neck. looked cool with the busted plastic film but I had mine refinished with nitro. I'm hoping the finish catches up to the relic of the neck. had it since the 90s. oh yeah and I broke the floyd rose 2 in the 90s as well. replaced that one very early on. one of the saddles just snapped in half.

I have one of these in grey and I've always wondered whether it was actually Fender or squire. Unfortunately the paint is pealing off around the floyd rose in a strange way almost like it's a veneer. It seems to have shrunk and pulled away from the wood. Otherwise it's still a nice guitar.
@BernardoB Жыл бұрын
If it's one of the "foto flame" or however it is called that totally makes sense, lots of online reports on that, it's a finish they made in the Japanese models at the time. But I think it was mostly applied to "flame tops" which then again, makes it weird lol

I like Strats. And Floyd rose. It’s like riding a wild bull. But Never heard of that one or seen it in my life. I would have thought it was a fake. But had a Japanese squire from back then that I liked better than a lot of the American strat at that time. They make a way better guitar now a days for sure back in the late 80s and early 90s Ibanez was where it was at. And for a lot cheaper it seemed like.
