    Yessir. A 1993 Squier Stratocaster with hidden history. Poor Thing was abandoned twice, yet still managed to land itself on my workbench. This thing rips. Dig it.
    Thanks Tom for the free guitar :) Rest easy.

    My favourite bit is that you kept the Punk Rock history of the guitar intact. The stickers, the pickup swap, the mojo!
    Everyone else would’ve peeled the stickers off, refinished it, cleaned it up to the point that it’s unrecognisable.
    You wouldn’t dare to remove the original paint off of a vintage 60s Fender, so why do the same to a 90s Squier with an equal amount of personality!

    When you hooked up the guitars to the DS1 I actually liked the sound of the Squier most. Goes to show how much a good setup can do for a cheap guitar

      The squire has a humbucker in the bridge compared to the custom shop which has a more traditional three single coil configuration, which is why it sounded more like the nirvana riff he was playing. Still cool find tho!

      @@michelleneeds4165 true that, I forgot to mention that in my comment. I’ve always been way more partial to how humbuckers sound so that’s definitely why

    So nice to see this guitar have a second life. It sounds great just like your 63. My first two guitars were from this time period and I was told the same thing when I got them in the mid 90s. America parts made in Mexico. The guitars were under 200 dollars.

    4:19 speaking of that, I actually own a Kurt Cobain vandalism Strat. It was actually an handmade Custume replica I made with my dad, and I still have it to this very day of course, with no dents or chips or tape like that.
    just simply clean with the sticker but I’m glad to see the previous owner got inspired by a legend’s guitar.

    They threw away a perfectly functional Squier strat with a Seymour Duncan pickup in a dumpster ??
    People are crazy...or weird...
    Their loss...your gain...
    I can relate to that, out of the 167 guitars in my collection 8 were found in dumpsters or on the side of the road or in old dusty attics of the house my parents ( or me later ) had bought...
    Maybe I do attract them 🙂 ?

    Nice video man! By the way, I don't know if you already do this, but I'd recommend to set up the guitar with the TRAIN method. (Tune, Relief, Action, Intonation, Noodle). It has been pretty effective with my guitars! Nice restoration though, keep up the nice work. :)

    Should've put a flat end against the flat part of the nut (from the fretted side) and given it a tap tap to remove the nut. Also remember to take 0000 wool across the length of the frets. You removed gunk off the board but added scratches to the frets which you can feel with bending

    The MN on the serial number on your head stock indicates Made in Mexico. My understanding is what you have is essentially what would today be a Mexican Strat. It's also my understanding that in the 90s, Squire was not so much the budget reputation, but what Fender branded their Mexican and Japanese made guitars in the 90s. I did a little research when I had bought a Jazz Bass (turned out MIM) from a garage sale for $150. It's '94 and say Fender in the big logo, but in fine print says "Squire® Series"
