Here's an MIM Fender Strat Squier Series (not the more common "import" Squier brand) I picked up just to do the FAT-O installation demo/pictoral.
The MIM Fender Strat "Squier Series" had a short production life in the nineties, sharing bodies and necks with the MIM Standard Strat. They were built in Fender's newly-expanded Ensenada factory along side the MIM Standards, but were assembled with cheaper pickups, electronics, and hardware to create an inexpensive line of Fender guitars - a temporary stop-gap until the overseas factories for "Squier"-branded production could be established.
With new tuners and a bit of fretwork, it turned into a nice little player. There's an "old timey" feel to the axe, with its smaller (vintage-correct) fretboard radius, rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets. After the (above) "demo" was completed, the '93 AmStd pups out of Obie landed here, with, of course, an Original FAT-O in a nice faux-tortoise shell red pickguard (shown, left). With all the the hardware upgraded, it became another great little beater, on par with (or better than!) any MIM Standard Strat.
It has since been parted out - the neck went to the Beatles Sonic Blue Strat Project (replacing the Musikraft neck I had purchased which was just too fat for me). The body got shot white (shown, right) and was upgraded with an Allparts vintage steel sustain block, and loaded with an H-S-S pickguard setup with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge, followed by a pair of Rio Grande Vintage Tallboys. I mounted a Mighty Mite maple/maple Vintage V neck, whose soft "V" profile I find VERY comfortable. It's a classic look, white Strat with a maple neck, don't you think? Assembled this way, it served as the test mule for the FAT-O for Fatties (aka F4F) switch.
Sometime after the F4F tests, I re-loaded it with a set of Lollar Blackface Pickups from my e-pal Dave Patterson and a V.3. With its white finish, the standard S-S-S setup, the Vintage "V" neck, it's rather like a home-built "Jimmie Vaughan" model, since the V.3 scheme's master tone control works on the bridge pup, too. Nice player, sounds great.
