Fender stratocaster jr

I'd also say that it needs to be fairly simple otherwise. No body binding or anything like that.

The 'classic' tele jr.

The one in the thread is nothing but a re-branded strat mini.

What did fender add a fret which shifted the neck so the made the body alder instead of hardwood ply? Gave it better tuners & a multiply guard & electronic then rebranded it. yeap your right !!

oops forgot they added the skunk stripe on back of neck to throw us off as well .

No, honestly, I find it hard to understand your typing. Try punctuation.

Git tae fuck. It's a new version of the mini strat and you know it. Visually it's pretty much the same, so what if it has a skunk stripe.

Everything about the guitar is made different. In fact the Strat JR has been discontinued & was make in 2004 in mexico & the Squire is made in Indonesia.

ok, so you add ~$50 of extra better electronics and maybe maybe $100 worth of better wood. that hardly makes up for the $200 difference in price.

$25 for tuner upgrade & 25 for bridge with string thru body upgrade. I will let you know how the Strat JR holds up to the Squire when it arrives. The JR cost me only 103.00 on ebay & is why I jumped on it as I have seen most going into the 400.00 range.

I was trying to find a picture of that. I'm pretty sure that was in the 2001 or 2002 Frontline. Along with a Telecaster Junior.

With a neck P90 added, I'd be all over this like hives on my back that one time.

They did a few of them: Strat-o-sonics were single P90, double P90, or 2x Humbuckers - all in Cherry/TV Yellow/Sunburst. Pretty rare now

Custom-shop (I believe..) did a Tele Junior - which was basically the same thing but better built and tele-shaped.

Was also a Tele-sonic model that was a Gibson style 2 x Vol/Tone layout, cherry red with two DeArmond pickups and a junior-style pickguard.

i wanted a tele-sonic so bad, played my mates, it was such a wicked guitar. i'd still buy one now if one comes up.
