This was a more affordable model that sits closer to the Squier line. This model features inexpensive wood and parts sourced from Asian manufacturers.
In 1999 it was relaunched and upgraded slightly to a USA built economy version as the American Traditional Line with same eastern/U.S collage.
The Traditional line has since lived on in the Japan segments.
