Standard Stratocaster SSS

(530)
"The Squier Standard Stratocaster is a great playing guitar with a traditional vibe and modern feel. Player-friendly features like a 22-fret fingerboard and a slimmer neck make for easier playing and choke-free bends. AlNiCo single-coil pickups provide plenty of punch."

Notes

032-1603-530 - The model is listed as a Special Edition. The tremolo post are flat screws instead of hex head screws (see pics below), wood is reported to be ash or alder. Some pricelist/catalogs state a maple fretboard, however no pictures of this model were able to be located. Maybe typo.
Changed from a 6-point to a 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo in 2001
Number of Frets changed from 21 to 22 in 2001
Fretboard changed to Indian Laurel in 2017
