    I bought mine back in the mid 00's. It was in the same price range as many other entry level models, but the shopkeeper said that it was pretty good for that money. And he was probably right. Tremolo system is weak and the tuners do not hold in tune, but otherwise I think it is a good value guitar for its price. Single coils are a bit noisy, but I like the sound of the humbucker. I've had plans in changing the tremolo, but I've only found one or two different models that would fit in without need to move the mounting posts. Wilkinson WVS50K is one of the options, but it's a bit pricier than what I was looking for.

    In 2002 a friend of mine who ran a second hand shop bought a pallet load of Squier Stratocaster Bullets from a liquidation sale but there was one of the Stagemaster Deluxe in black, HSH configuration in with the Bullets, the build quality was much better than the Bullet, I fret levelled and set up the Bullets and the Stage master, as well as paying me my friend gave me a Bullet and the Stagemaster, I sold them straight away as I had far too many guitars, I wish I had kept them now just for their history.
    I used to also call fretboards fingerboards until I was corrected by my girlfriends sister who taught music history, fingerboards are for non fretted instruments like violin, cello and the like

      I love hearing stories like that, the time before youtube was more wholesome 👌 you live and learn unfortunately, I've sold so many guitars I wish I kept.

    Looks really nice, never really looked at these before in any detail. I like the basic stripped back loom without a pickguard.

    Does the reverse headstock gives a different kind of tensional for all strings compared to the usual one?

      Makes no difference it's still strung the same just in reverse, if that makes sense?
