Since finding this Squier Standard Stratocaster by Fender built in Taiwan in 1996 I've been itching to do a teardown to find out as much as I could about it because it sounds amazing.
This video was a lot of fun to make and turned into a little bit of a detective story tracing what and where all the components had come from.
Some are still a mystery? That's where you come in. Maybe you can help me identify where something has come from?
Guitar nerds welcome.
There were a few surprises when I took it apart but it explains why this particular Strat sounds so good.
This guitar was made in 1996 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster. The neck was made by Atlansia and it was this neck that sold me on the guitar as soon as I held it.
It is just so comfortable and has proven to be my go to guitar for daily practice. I can play it for hours and not get fatigued or hand cramps just bliss.
