sexygibson Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I found this little jewel over the weekend. I have been gasing for another Strat but didn't won't to invest much as it would never be my main guitar. What I found was a '99 Squire Double Fat Strat. Its in very good shape. The Gotoh tuners hold tune well, the frets are nice with alot life left in them and the neck feels good. I snagged it and a very nice soft shell case for $100. Bout time I got a good deal !

brianh Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yep, definitely a killer deal. You don't see Squire strats too often for $100, and never in such great shape. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animalfarm Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Same as above - excellent deal! I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for something like that, one of those "my grandpa stuffed it away in the attic, and I don't want it" , "it's just an OLD guitar, do YOU want it?" deals!!! (Envy.....)

InsideMan Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Congrats, SG. Seldom, anymore, do you find such a great deal. She looks great. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks all ! I actually think that I am more proud of the deal that I got than of the actual guitar. After owning USA Strats, a USA G&L, and a MIM Standard, I am very impressed with the quality for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
