I have a white Squier Strat, made in Japan, S/N M010454. It is distinct in that the neck plate has "Wayne's World" logo inscribed on it. I don't know too much about it except it sounds great, but tuning a bit of a problem. Can anyone advise?

There was a post a while back explaining how to set up the springs on the tremelo. Most tuning problems can be fixed by getting new strings.

Find out on google as much as you can about Wayne's World strats if there ever was an issue it could be worth some money and you can start out with a brand new guitar properly tuned.

Otherwise it can be a real pain in the butt if the neck is broken or the tremello mount is ripped out or someone did a mod.

Good luck and let me know what you find out on google.

There are two Wayne's World Strats up for sale currently on Ebay. One is going for $375 and the other for $475.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Stratocaster-sq-Waynes-World-Made-in-Japan-L-K_W0QQitemZ140217928598QQihZ004QQcategoryZ38082QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-MIJ-Fender-Squire-Waynes-World-edition-Strat_W0QQitemZ250223360068QQcmdZViewItem

There was also one that went for $525 on an old LA Craigslist posting -

http://www.webervst.com/bns/messages/43533.html

Based on these online selling prices, obviously the value has gone up from the original retail price. Apparently there where only 250 of these made, so I would only guess that the value will go up as more time passes.

I certainly would not mind having one of these lovelies. From what I have read they play great - and you can't go wrong with an Olympic white Strat/rosewood fretboard combination, IMHO. :D

As I learn more about guitars and playing in general - and I am still relatively new to the guitar world - I am finding my Squeir Strat comperable to many MIM Strats, and even some MIA's that I have played around with.

I was in a local guitar shop last night picking around with some MIM and MIA Strats that, in all honesty, didn't do anything more for me than my Squier.

On a related note, I also picked up a Squeir or two that where on display at the shop. These guitars where of a similar make to the Squier I own - and I realized that they where made with much less quality. Strange. I think one starts to see that every guitar has it's own 'personality,' if you will, and is as different from the next as each player is. Having purchased my Strat used from the original owner, I am starting to think that I lucked out with the great quality of the guitar.

Now, that said, I am looking still very much forward to finding and purchasing my own American Strat a year or so down the road, once I am playing better (I am currently eying the new sienna sunburst American Standard Strat with the rosewood fretboard). This is a personal goal I have set for myself. At this point, however, my Squier sounds and plays so nicely, and I have made such a bond with the instrument, I doubt that I will ever get rid of it.

My two cents at an early point in my guitar playing love affair. :D

Does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram for the japanese-made squier stratocaster (waynes world edition)? I couldn't find anything on either Fender's or Squier's websites. Thanks!

I know this thread is old, but I have one of these guitars that I'd like to sell. I don't play the electric guitar but I received this as a gift many years ago. It has sat in my closet. Here is a link to my ad to sell this guitar on the strat-talk forum. http://www.strat-talk.com/forum/squier- ... strat.html Same user name "AlbaSurf".
But you can respond here as well if you would like more info.
