NGD Standard

[rorygman]

Well, I finally went and did it. I snagged the cherry sunburst Standard I’d seen on FBM (needing some bodywork attention) for a good price, only 23 miles from home. I’d been tracking it for about 3 months and it didn’t sell, so in the end it was a mercy mission to save the poor thing. This means I now have two identical Standards (which needed some explaining to my understanding wife!). See below fairly cr*p photos taken in semi-darkness against an annoying background of strawberries:



The first one on the left (“Cherry Blossom”) is from 2011 and is being kept mostly original, the ‘new’ one, which is from 2021 (I think – it has a serial number beginning CY2111 …), is going to be extensively modified to be Cherry Blossom’s twisted sister, “Black Cherry”. It’s a longer term project but quite exciting to plan it. Hopefully, to keep me out of other guitar mischief.
Cheers all, rorygman

Happy New Black Cherry Day!
Have fun modding it!

Sweet looking Strats. Congrats

Gorgeous guitars! I love those cherrybursts! I guess I need to do a new family pic, as a couple of these have had some mods completed, but you can always show this to the wife as a "at least I'm not this guy"! haha!

Nice colors. Mine is Frost Red.

Thanks @Ace38, that's really helpful as I can see what each of the various pickguards would look like on a cherry burst!

I've seen far worse backgrounds

the ‘new’ one, which is from 2021 (I think – it has a serial number beginning CY2111 …)

2002. The Standards last year was 2019 before being discontinued.

Looks like you've picked up a fine Standard to make a matching pair. Speaking of last year of production for the Standard, I have a 2019 FMT Cherryburst Standard. The finish is replicated over the back side of the body as well, and not all red like earlier versions. I wonder when that change was made?

Awesome guitars. The cherry sunburst standards are some of the Squiers which really changed my mind about Squiers a few years ago.

This means I now have two identical Standards (which needed some explaining to my understanding wife!).

Not having both out at the same time works for me.

Thanks Barrie, yeah I suspected it might be a 2002 as that’s what the previous owner said … but it doesn’t look “old” at all!

No wonder I've been unable to find one!

HNUGD!

The Cherry burst I picked needed bodywork as well...

I will say, IMHO they look killer when blacked out... But I might be biased...

NUGD...... I blame Eddie.....

Excellent job buddy !!!

Yes! Please post an updated family picture!

 

[Squier KO]

A Cherryburst Standard is on my want list…just have not been able to find one close enough to make it a reasonable deal…online well shipping has been the road block…if it is meant to be it will happen…

for now It is nice to see others able to find one… Enjoy!!!

Looks just like my Sienna Burst Standard. Have you looked up the s/n to verify?

 

[rorygman]

Thanks @russbryant … I’ll have to take a better picture in proper daylight, they’re much redder than my photos above! The sienna bursts are a bit browner than this, I think.
It’s news to me if you can tell the colour from the S/N … is that a thing??!
Cheers, rorygman

 

[russbryant]

I stand corrected. mine is a cherry burst. The model number link in the serial number lookup will give more of the specs too.
