Huh???? You are looking for a Squier Strat (which all the ones you listed are) that says "SQUIER STRAT" on the headstock? Like this?

I saw a squier bullet strat, classic vibe strat, affinity strat, vintage mod, squier deluxe, fat, and standard.


Which one is actually SQUIER STRAT on the headstock??



Mine is a SE Special that came in a Strat Pack. All it has on the headstock is "Squier Strat" with the small "Fender" script below the Squier name. On the back it has Crafted in China with a serial number. It has the pre-CBS headstock, Squier tuners, rosewood fingerboard, and is black with a 3 ply W/B/W pick guard.

It looks and plays like it should cost more that it did. Hope this helps!

What does CBS and pre-CBS mean by a headstock?


Exactly WHAT are you looking for?

What does CBS and pre-CBS mean by a headstock?


After the purchase of Fender by CBS in 1965, the headstocks on Strats were made larger for a time. Later, the headstocks returned to their original design size. However, a current Squier Affinity has this larger, "CBS" type of headstock. The SE Strats do not. Before the CBS years, the headstocks were smaller, as originally designed in 1954.

I just call the large headstock a "70s style headstock". Is this the same CBS as the TV network? Thats cool I never knew this.
