- In this episode of What's in the Case we take a look at a 1996 Squier Stratocaster in desperate need of some TLC. I'm partial do a good project guitar and at £10 I simply couldn't pass on this guitar. Thanks for watching!
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.
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?
Fantastic!
This might be my favourite one yet, more of these please!
YN6 stands for Y(ako) N(ineties) (199)6.
Apparently Yako guitar plant produced very good quality instruments.
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 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 😮
This is the same kind of stuff I do on my channel. Pop by and hopefully find something you like. Great job!
Yep like the Timelapse and voiceover style. Good video.
Take them meanwhile are around... the alder+rosewood ones are going to rise in price...
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!
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 same guitar... full thick body
They tried to do a frankenstrat with this one
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
Amazing , Sound Like Squier ! kkk Lol
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
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.
