Notes

The first of its kind, and the only Squier to be officially marketed as a vintage replica. The closest vintage specs Squier has ever produced. Export Strats (only!) have Fender USA pickups (except during the JV1xxxx period, approx August / September 1982), when a lot of them had Japanese SQ pickups. Full size Japanese pots (exact origin unknown)
