My strat is a series P, ie model 1993-94. Like all Squier Japan, it t manufactured in the factory Fujigen, the same factory that made high end Ibanez! Besides Fujigen is serious as vibrato.
I bought it in 2600 francs at the time, the fender mexico worth 2,800 francs but c'tait crap, the Squier core (series E) worth 1,600 francs.
Alder body
Maple neck with well finished super D (he did not share boug traces of sweat on the button marked ... I love it!)
vibrato that has as much agreement as its counterparts US
I changed the mcaniques against the accuracy of all mcaniques.
The guitar is not unlike some US dsaccorde whose ping mcaniques are horrors.
Nothing wrong, it's one of my guitars prfres (I had over thirty L'aria pro 2 TA 61 the jackson soloist usa).

USE

If you like metal, endless solos and wigs dcolores: This guitar is not for you.
This strat japan really fits the spirit blues / rock.
The handle is warm, sturdy, ideal for bends, the hendrixiens solos, the slap funk.
The ergonomics are very good, the body is pluttlger (compared my Telecaster Ash 66), in short we begin to Clapton for hours.
Microphones rather well bear the heavy enough distos but keep sound "vintage", you blow not modern.
Crazy hendrix I use a Vox wah pedal and FuzzFace and any amp behind it (line 6, fender twin, Laney tc).

In conclusion it is all a matter of taste: this guitar is for you if you like rock, blues and are 50's and 60's
in this area it is 10.8
If you have 15 years and trasheur: buy a BC RICH and paste it EMG 81 and 85.

SONORITS

It really is that the guitar is poustouflante!
Output level standard, heat, prcison are the masters words.
No mexico strat can compare him fender mexico sound too strident and imprcises.
Personally, I think we are at the current US, well above the highway one.
-The Micro possde serious momentum, the body while both crystalline and very powerful.
-The Middle pickup, ie position 3 is a killer (in overdrive I've never heard better.)
-The Positions out of phase 2 and 4 are great for arpges Little wing.
-The pickup possde a good level of output, superb it clear or with a lightweight saturation. But to tell the truth, I prefer the neck pickup for power chord and micro environment for aggressive solos.

Conclusion: we are well above the current standard Fender, this guitar is really a leading strat. She normmant of character, quite in the spirit of Reissue 57 '. I may be lucky but mine does not buzz despite his age.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use this guitar for 16 years, I love everything about her, her polish tarnished his sleeve marked by my fingers.
Objectively, it Suprieure the fender mexico and Highway 1 us. I find it that current guitars lack of personality.
In fact, the Squier P japan series truly is the idea that is sound "Fender" slamming, shiny, warm.
I pray to keep my Start as long as possible, in fact I am not in concert with for fear of damaging ...
For 350/450 euros price I finding on the web, I think it's a great opportunity.
For cons, I dconseille current Squier, shit factories by children for children.

Vive Japan!
