Anyone know what wood was used for the body, on an early 90s MIK Squier Stagemaster, with a lic. floyd rose, hss config, and reverse traditional strat headstock?

Earlier Squier Stagemasters were made in China. That series didn't came into surface until 1999.

Stagemasters were made from hardwood.

These guitars were essentially downsized Stratocasters with a variety of pickup congurations (HSS, HH, HSH and HHH), a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard and a Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo. The HHH ones are extremely rare.

Later versions are completely different than the 1999 originals; I believe Fender redesigned the Stagemaster line to compete with other superstrat manufacturers such as Ibanez and ESP.

The Stagemaster series was renamed Showmaster circa 2004/05 and discontinued in 2009.

I was looking at possibly buying one on Ebay about a month ago. However, I was lucky enough to come up on a used one at my local GC before I bid. I wasn't to crazy about it, so I passed on the Ebay one. Thanks anyway.

I've seen a Galactic Purple Stagemaster HHH while browsing eBay.

I think the HHH setup was an aftermarket mod as Fender never did Stagemasters with three humbuckers.
