      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi guys - newbie here!  I just got a Squier Strat from a friend of mine and am trying to learn as much about it as I can. The serial number is cxs 070924650.  I&#039;d love to know what it is made out of, how good the hardware is, etc. and how it might compare to a brand new Bullet Strat. Can anyone help me decipher the number or point me in the right direction?  I&#039;ve attached a photo.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />

I can pick this up locally today for cheap.  That means I could sell this for $140 US shipped probably to anyone in the continental US, maybe less if I take the neck off.  I can probably also ship it within Canada for like $140 Canadian shipped.  It just costs more to send to the USA.  I&#039;m just putting feelers out before I go inspect and buy it.  I will not pick it up if it has...<br />

The price is certainly reasonable, so I can&#039;t lose. Let me know if anyone has had experience with these steel or brass blocks. <br />
