ACCESSORIES & INFO

STORAGE: None

STRINGS .009 -.042 Nickel Plated Steel

PRICE: $349.99 (1997) 


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.
