In todays Episode of What's in the Case we take a look at a Mexican Fender Standard Stratocaster from 2001/02. I had to throw this one together fairly last minute but I wanted to document this one whilst I still had it in my possession. I'm currently working on a new rig build which should make the process of making these much easier, I have also been fairly nomadic the last couple of months wh...

What's in the Case? - A series where I take a quick look at one of the guitars that I currently have in my possession. Today we're taking a look at a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster in shell pink! On another note I'm still grasping recording/editing content and only had a short window in which to play a little before irritating the neighbour (ahh the joys of a flat). I'm working on a rig ...
i have a 1997 affinity strat .. do they have alder body at that time?
I have one .. But I noticed the over-wrap on the tail piece . What is your opinion on this feature .. The axe , I know , is very nice .. Mine is all shiny .. Thanks ..
Are the pickups on this model ceramic or alinco magnets?
Modded mine with CS Nocaster pickups, Emerson electronics and Callaham bridge. My favourite guitar!
Why is there no inlay on the back of the neck for the truss rod I have a a 93 with rosewood and it has the skunk stripe on the nck
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.
Still alive? No more videos in recent at least two years.
YN6 stands for Y(ako) N(ineties) (199)6. Apparently Yako guitar plant produced very good quality instruments.
i have one , walnut. absolutely my favorite, i cant stop playing it.
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.
Bingo, around 8:00, the piece of wood to block the trem.
I don't think string rollers on the head are stock, I have the same exact guitar from the same year, M2 serial number, everything is stock on this one.
I just bought a similar guitar, Epiphone Les Paul Custom black MIK 95 with the same kind of inlay, it's kinda strange, but the guitar is amazing! I also have a white Epiphone Les Paul Custom MIK 95, another amazing guitar!
Amazing , Sound Like Squier ! kkk Lol
Hey u said u got that from andertons plz lmk nice very nice have fun rock on bro wish u well thanks for the demo
Great playing! Really like the style of music you chose to demo this Tele. Seems like a very versatile guitar.
Take them meanwhile are around... the alder+rosewood ones are going to rise in price...
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.
And what you know about the CY ensambles in china 90/2000 models? It's worst than YN made in china?
I found a 96 YN here in Italy. do you recommend it?
My first real tele and boy she was the one that got away I miss mine every single moment
my guitar looks exactly like this, I inherited it from my uncle so I’m not sure if it's rare or anything, nice video though
They tried to do a frankenstrat with this one
I also have one of those, exactly same colour etc. It's great, I play it a lot - it's what I have instead of the fender one I wanted as a kid in the 60s :))
In the 1996 Squier Catalog isn't a Strat-Model in red 😮
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.
@@silverlocomotive9127 thanks for the info
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
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!
Saw this at guitar center with emg pickups its going for 699
Yep like the Timelapse and voiceover style. Good video.
found this in an old pawn shop for 120
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
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.
I'm looking for NC strats what year is yours ? NC97 white ?
I have a white one. It's funny their 50th anniversary models but yet Squire have only just this jear released a 40th anniversary model. It's a mind job or am i missing something? Lol..
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.
That's actually made in Japan by Fujigen! (F for fujigen) beautiful specimen, I love the satin finish on this
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...
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
Ah right the F stands for "fine guitars"
Hi buddy, the colour is Olympic White not Blonde just letting you know.
Excelente video! Podrías subir otro video con esta guitarra?? Gracias
Did you prefer this or the classic series 60s?
Hard to say! Id probably go with the 50s just because I like the chunkier neck :)
I am currently making one of these out of available fender parts. Fender Nitro Vintage 7.25 Tele neck $349 and American Performer Tele Vintage white Body $379 on Reverb. I have all the other parts from over the years of playing.
link?
Is that a Cambridge 15 amp?
Very nice playing Sir!
i have the same guitar... full thick body
This is the same kind of stuff I do on my channel. Pop by and hopefully find something you like. Great job!
Brilliant video. Lovely playing too thanks 👍👍👍👍
Thanks man, glad you liked it!
Fantastic! This might be my favourite one yet, more of these please!
that's a lovely guitar!
280 quid for that is a steal, and I agree with you about the finish on the neck. They really nail the feel on these.
Yes it was a very lucky find! Definatley a keeper this one!
Loving the Jam in this one! Got some serious funk going on!
Tonerider surfari pickups in these as stock
on the Chinese made 2008-2012, not on Indonesiam ones
thats a nice guitar!
Had one of these in my hands today.. same model I think.. 2005 made. Fretboard and weight felt great.
love epiphone les paul, especially from japan/ korean factory... excellent playbility...
Is there any reason you are selling this on so early if you've just aquired it?
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
Oh man! Thanks for sharing! Good looking guitar!
