I think I fell in love tonight - With a Squire Japanese Strat

[83 blazer]

Nice Strat 83 blazer, hope you can acquire it.
I've had the string undo at the ball too, also the high E, they were EB slinky's.
Cheers

Cheers Ivan H...
So I was going to go to Ernie Ball...maybe not now?

The photo I just put up is the headstock of the squire standard.
That I had posted earlier today.
Cheers Mitch

It looks slightly different but your black Strat looks like it must be a good one...looks like it has plenty of miles on it! Usually a sign of a pretty good instrument

Nice looking guitar. Don’t have experience with a Japanese Squire. But I did a set-up job on a Japanese Fender Strat for my son and it was a solid guitar. Kinda wished it was mine.

I sorta know what you mean...I recently bought a Japanese Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang in Fiesta Red for my son and that is one of those guitars that you play and you don’t even fell like you are playing anything, there is just this sound coming from your amp. Plays itself is what some would say. Zero fight from the guitar. Some like to struggle with their instruments, I’d personally rather not and that guitar is the epitome of that!

Love me a white Strat with a maple board.
Though after last night I’m kinda liking them with a rosewood board too...aw mannnn too many bloody guitar options, sometimes makes my head hurt!

Chris, were any of your Japanese Strats a Photo flame top/body?

No, both of the nice ones were three tone burst.

I just got my very first Strat back from my Dad. He gave up learning to play.

I'll post a thread tomorrow...

I've been using EB 10~46 regular slinky's exclusively for 15 or 20 years. In that time I've only had the string unravel once, about 6 months ago (maybe a little longer), so I wouldn't let it put you off trying them. Cheers

one of my Squire -- bargain bin finds ---

lowest action of ANY guitar I own -- fake "Jangletrons" ala Gretsch copy humbuckers------ the thing is COMFORTABLE--- holds tune plays like a DREAM and sounds amazing ----

Same here, only 1 unravel, but I have broken many, 90% of the time it’s a D string 60% an A string, Hell I have even broke a couple of low E’s, I have a heavy right hand

Look @ that Mesa lit up!
YES

I've been using these strings lately and I really like them. No failures either!

La Bella has been around for a long time. They haven't put these Benders out for a while and just started making them again...

Dang, I’ve never broken anything but the high E. I must be wimping it...
