This is a much better guitar! Beautiful 1989 Squire Strat II. If you are not familiar with 89 Squier Strats, take a look online and do a little research. Excellent necks on these guitars. I have 6 of the necks as well. This Strat is in very good condition and plays and sounds amazing. These were made in Korea and are excellent build quality. Did I mention how great the necks are? New black pick guard. COMES WITH Gig BAG! NO dissapointments you will absolutely love it. Thanks for shopping and God Bless!
