(SOLD) Used Squier Stratocaster Silver Series Black SST33 1992/93
Squier SST33 Silver Series Strat, made in Japan in 1992/93 in classic 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. The maple board is looking amazing with a whole heap of natural wear, what a stunner! The alder body and stock pickups pull a great Strat-tone with plenty of attack and warmth, it really punches out a great lead tone. These are a great quality no-frills players' guitar, and they're increasing in value as the decades wear on. Great addition to the family!
