Well i've found this 1996 fender stratocaster mim that i like alot, but the logo is black where its usually silver. Did some of the mexi strats come with black logos or was this what this specific year came in. i've seen some with the black logo with squier series at the end of the headstock, but this one doesn't have it, so i was wondering did it come in the black logo , and is their another way to make sure its not a squier series because in this year range they looked the same?

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.... if it says Fender on it.... and it says made i mexico.... than that's what it is..... the only time I'd ever question stuff is if it's on ebay lol

yeah i was just askin that i've never really seen Fender made in mexico strat in with the Fender part being in black letters unlike the usual silver. BUt i didn't see squier series so i'm thinkin its not one. Dumb question but i was just wondering lol

ohhh no it's ok lol.... don't feel like you were asking a dumb question aha ..... I guess in different years it's different on the headstock.... maybe back in '96 they used black?

Maybe So but i have no clue lol, i think i'm gonna get it because its got that nice smooth feel to it, and its 12 years old so it has that older strat look to it as well.

my fender strat also come with black logo for the "Fender" writing,
actually personally prefer black logo, like what Hendrix played,
for your information there are none any Squire made in Mexico

yeah and if you like the feel and everything about it.... and you think you want it.... you should def. get it

Actually there was lol but they only made them from 94-97 i've seen a couple on ebay.

The 1996 Fender Strats MIM Fender logo is Silver not black. I know someone who is trying to sell one and just saw the pics.

Sorry Timu theres both types. Heres one I bought in 96 from the biggest guitar showroom in Europe.



A budget fender from the opening of the Ensesada plant. I suspect they were introduced to use up Squire hardware left at that factory after they moved to the far east. The body and neck are fender, squire bodies are slightly smaller. Something that has always been up until recently with the JV series. The pickups, tuners, electrics and trem were all squire.

I still don't know how to work the photobucket thing.

there ya go!

Actually not all Squier bodies are smaller, currently only the bullets and Affinities are the smaller size. Standards, Deluxes, VMs, and Classic vibes are standard strat size. I have a 94 Chinese Bullet that is standard size at well, it really varies from model to model, and year to year.
