while looking through a box of old guitar parts i ran across this little lady. forgot i still had it. the glue job around the nut looks kinda sloppy and there's a few scrapes and scratches, otherwise it's in near new condition. she's probably going up on Ebay soon, anyone have an idea what it's worth? my internet searching has turned up very little.

Is this one of the 22.5" or 24"? I read that the 90's reissues came with the super short necks.

just eyeballing it next to a strat neck, i'm going to say it's 22.5, it was way to small for my ham fisted type playing which is why i never used it.

I sold one for $35. It's a hard sell because it's only use is turning a 25.5" scale into a 22.75". Will only go on a strat equivalent, not any 24" scale instruments.

That said, great way to make a travel strat.

Try selling overseas if no one here wants it. I've found not every Fender/Squier model is exported and a 22.5" scale MIM Duo Sonic in white that was too small for me to use sold to a professional that tours all of Scandanavia with his band. It's now his sixteenth Fender/Squier. I bought it off Craigslist for $80.00 as it was listed four months starting at $400 with no sale. The seller a horn-rimmed glassed, Volvo wagon driving, Birkenstock sandal wearing, college boy was incapable of reading a ruler and I bought it rather than go home empty handed after a 45 drive each way to buy it. It sold for $295.00 and the buyer paid the $70 for international shipping. The neck had to be removed to meet the size requirements for overseas USPS shipping regulations.

Had I known about this site I would have offered it here.

I'd be really super interested in buying this. I have no idea what it's worth on the open market though. Seems to me that the guitars are worth ~200-250 depending on condition etc. I dunno if it's cool to do much buying/selling/trading outside of the official forum here. Most places are pretty strict about that(for good reason).

24" scale stuff seems to be about the point where my jacked up elbow starts giving me fits. Every guitar I own is of the very short scale variety.
