(SOLD) Squier MIJ Silver Series Stratocaster Black SST33 1993/94
Squier SST33 Silver Series Strat, made in Japan in 1993/4 in black-on-black. The Silver Series heralded a return to Japanese manufacturing for Squier, and were very well received at the time owing to the excellent build quality from the legendary Fujigen factory. This guy is a classic-case: clean and classy looks, great feel, very convincing tone. The satin-finished neck is especially good; it really feels brilliant in the hands. The classic Strat-spank is all there; it's easy to dial in a killer tone and just enjoy yourself... it just feels 'right'. You can't go wrong with a lightly aged black-on-black-with-maple Strat, it's always going to look good. Simple, but satisfying.
