I am not a big fan of signature guitars because I just cant get past there high cost over the quility and value of other offerings. But here is a Squier that I would not think would be to high in cost . Alder Body, Hot Rails, Soft V neck, 5 way switch and volume. It looks like it has been being sold in Asia for like a year or two for the Asian market only. Or have I missed this for sale local?

As this article http://www.squierguitars.com/news/index.php?display_article=110 says
Quote:
A limited run of models in both vintage colors will become available in Thailand starting in November 2008.

There is no reason given. I would guess that it would be because outside of his market, he is little known.

What other regional signature models (Fender or Squier) are there?

That Thai one looks nice. I like the one volume control, but I like it close up to the bridge pickup where it belongs.

I am sure there must be a few orv. that one I like the looks of. The colors you can get look nice as well and a soft v neck wow. Did you see this article?

Thai rocker O-Larn is delighted that his signature Squier Stratocaster® guitar model will become available this November in a limited run of his two favorite vintage Fender® finishes, Daphne Blue and Fiesta Red.

You never know—sometimes these things just hinge on a conversation. When U.S. Squier boss Chris Gill visited O-Larn in Bangkok, Thailand, in June 2008, wouldn’t you just know that the conversation soon turned to both gentlemen’s appreciation of vintage Fender guitar colors.

O-Larn was interested in new colors for his signature model, and mentioned that Fiesta Red and Daphne Blue in particular were two vintage hues that inspire fond memories and really take him back to the early days when he first started playing. He also noted that it’d be great for Thai guitarists to be able to own affordable Squier guitars in authentic vintage Fender colors.

That was that. A few weeks later, he happily received two samples of his signature Stratocaster model in Fiesta Red and Daphne Blue. A limited run of models in both vintage colors will become available in Thailand starting in November 2008.

Who cares if people no who he is! A possible nice guitar is a nice guitar I would not buy any guitar just because it is named after someone.
