    I have the 96 Squier in black. My late wife bought me it in 2012 for Christmas. It was my first electric guitar. I treasure it of course. I have just recently bought a 2021 MIM strat. It looks like the American vintage in Fiesta red. It has been modified with Seymour Duncan pickups. I am no musician, but they both sound the same to me! And they almost look identical apart from the colour.

    YN6 stands for Y(ako) N(ineties) (199)6. Apparently Yako guitar plant produced very good quality instruments.

    Regarding of the shimming of the neck, I've noticed that the bridge itself is very low, it looks they have try to neutralize the whammy bar. Maybe something you could check. Comparing with mine actually.

    I've read that the 96-98 YN models are created from American necks and bodies which were sent out to Taiwan to be assembled; they have the exact same neck carve, nut width and full thickness Alder body.

    I have the 96 Anniversary Affinity version and looks exactly like this so not sure what the difference is between the two. It says Affinity Series not Fender at the end of the headstock.

      Thinner body. These SE’s have a full thickness body so they are a popular modding platform.

    Beautiful guitar. I have same one. Serial M2705203. I was gonna strip out and replace with fender electronics but I plays so nice that I left it as is. Had to do the same with the neck though

  • @michaelshearer3559
    @michaelshearer3559 Рік тому

    what do you think about the necks on these? The bodies seem quite good. The pickups seem good too, mainly curious about the switches and trem block? Seems like a decent guitar to upgrade for not much money. Thanks for sharing!

    I've pinned the floating bridge in mine and it's a lot better at staying in tune. Yes, the bigsby is a bit creaky but it adds to the charm! Fantastic guitar, but one thing I would advise would be to put some heavier gauge strings on it to really bring out that gretsch bass sound. Great video

  • @Sc0teeBe318
    @Sc0teeBe318 Рік тому

    I have a white one that's part of the NC series as they're called. Serial number starts with an NC. I guess these all had different parts depending on the factory. Yours has full size pots but the lower end big ceramic bar magnet pickups. Mine has mini pots but it has what appear to be alnico pickups. They're more of a vintage output. All 3 off them range from 5.8k to 6k ohms.

    • @colinstout7184
      @colinstout7184 2 роки тому

      The 50th relates to 50 years of fender guitars ie 1946/ 1996.dont know about the 40th unless it's relating to 40 years of squiers....probs.

  • @isatariq7533
    @isatariq7533 2 роки тому

    That's actually made in Japan by Fujigen! (F for fujigen) beautiful specimen, I love the satin finish on this

    • @SpikeHart
      @SpikeHart 2 роки тому

      You are incorrect. The Japan built ones had open book headstocks, I originally thought it was Fujigen too but closer research on serials revealed that there were also Korean ones prefaced with an F (although I forget the name of the plant). Its on par in terms of quality though...

    • @isatariq7533
      @isatariq7533 2 роки тому

      Ah my bad, still looks amazing, the neck volute also had me tricked as most Korean LPs don't have that. I'll definitely look into that, thank you

    • @isatariq7533
      @isatariq7533 2 роки тому

      I buy and sell all the time, most of the guitars on my channel have already gone. I've never been the biggest Les Paul fan either so moved this on quite quickly. I have a personal collection which will stay for sentimental reasons but I haven't covered any of those yet. Lots more coming though
