Reverse headstock Korean Axe

[Rocket Skates]

Greetings,

I'm looking for any information on my Squier by Fender, Made in Korea. Silver "Squier by Fender" logo on the reverse headstock. Floyd Rose II. Two humbuckers and one single coil with a 5 way blade. Paint shifts between purple and blue.

SN is an E9 series, from what I've found, those were made in 1989.

An email to Fender got me this far,
"Most overseas made instruments are not logged here and our system goes back to 1993.

As a result, Fender does not have detailed build and spec data for these guitars on file."

What was the model, and where can I find any literature on this thing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would've said it's a StageMaster or Showmaster but I don't know whether Squier made them as far back as 1989. I have a 2000 Stagemaster HSH Deluxe. It too is Korean.



You can try Fuzzfaced.net or Squier-Wiki.com. Fuzz has good info however the website is a tad bit difficult to navigate in. Squier-Wiki has better navigation but the info can have a few errors, it's a one man project here.

That thing rules.

That fretboard needs some moisture love though. Catch it before it splits.

Thanks, it's getting a new setup and some TLC this weekend.

That's a good looking axe. I've seen those around, but never one like mine.

That is literally a piece of history and a relic at this point.

"That fretboard needs some moisture love"
I second that emotion.

Samick or WMI? That does not look samick to me. Samick guitars have distinct give aways, pickups, rings, body angles etc.

It is an HM series

But the reverse headstock is throwing the ID off .. HM-IV and HM-V versions have the normal pointy headstock

I still have my '89 HM-1 normal headstock, vintage tremolo, plywood body... Incredible neck.

Drooool!

If it wasn't for the fact I'm seriously thinking about buying a new L&M FSR CV60C Tele already, I'd be jumping on this one already!

Wow ..

Don't see a Fender with a broken headstock repair .. that is a Gibson "Feature"

All these nice guitars makes me want to revisit my 1990 Jackson Stealth.
