New Squier Models for 1999
 January 28, 1999Squier by Fender®, known for its performance and value, introduces three
new model groups. The all new Affinity Series, Standard Series and Stagemaster
Models, prove once again, that time-tested designs, quality materials and attention
to detail, result in nothing less than a family of guitars unequaled in their
class.
SQUIER AFFINITY SERIES
Ideal for beginners or players looking for a second instrument, the Squier
Affinity Series has a wide variety of styles to choose from. The Squier Mini,
Bronco Bass, Strat®, Tele® and P-Bass® will wow you with their classic
looks and playability.
SQUIER STANDARD SERIES
The all new lower priced Squier Standard Series has stepped up to the plate,
without skimping on quality or compromising integrity. The new Squier Standard
Stratocaster is faithful to its popular namesake in every facet. Notable additions
include dual-humbucking and hum-single-single pickup configurations. Also, all
Squier Standard Series Strats now feature the late '60s "big" headstock design.
Likewise, the Squier Standard Telecaster® follows in the footsteps of the
axe that started it all, and the Squier P-Bass® Special is now available
in a left-handed option.
All Squier Standard Series guitars feature solid hardwood bodies, three-ply
white pickguards, and gold Squier logo. New color options include: British Racing
Green, Frost Red, Vintage Blonde (Tele only), and Galactic Purple in addition
to the Black, Sunburst and Arctic White choices previously available.
SQUIER STAGEMASTER MODELS
This entirely new Squier Stagemaster, is made explicitly with the young rocker
in mind. With its sleek body design, reverse headstock and drive-bombing, double-locking
tremolo, the new Squier Stagemaster spells "flash" with every feature. Each
guitar comes equipped with sleek hardwood body, maple neck, reverse Strat headstock,
die-cast machine heads, Rosewood fingerboard (12.6" radius), 22 frets, master
volume and tone controls, white/black/white pickguard and a Floyd Rose®
licensed double-locking tremolo. The Stagemaster is available in three different
pickup configurations. The Stagemaster HSS features a scorching humbucker in
the bridge position and two hot single-coils in the middle and neck with 5-way
switching. While the HH features dual humbuckers and 3-way switching, the HSH
has dual humbuckers and one single-coil pickup in the middle. In addition to
Black, all new colors are available, including: Frost Red, Polar White, Cobalt
Blue Metallic and Galactic Purple. For more information, visit Fender's web site at www.fender.com. |
