Squier CST30 Strat, made in Japan 1984-7, olympic white. These mids 80s Squier instruments are truly exceptional; they were hailed as brilliantly made in their day and their renown has grown and grown over the last few decades. This one is a beaten up olympic white Strat with the big 70s headstock.. franky, that's a winning combo if ever there was one. The neck features a delightful piece of well-played-in maple and a dark chocolate rosewood board; there's a mojo you can 'feel' straight away. The body is light and the loud unplugged volume gives away the resonance; there's some great 'bones' on offer. If you're after a vintage Strat that'll easily take it to USA made stuff at three or four times the price, this will put a smile on your dial.
