Squier History (models of guitars)

[houseguitarshop]

please help fill in the blanks

here is a thread that has gotten very large with alot of information and photos, thanks to the help of all the great members here.

This is a great resource for myself and others re-searching squier.

If you could please take a second, check to see if your squier model, color, and pickup configuration is in this thread, if you see your model, then if you would like to post your guitar for another example, please do so.

but if you do not see your Squier model, color scheme, or pickup configuration, We could really use a photo for an example. Please list what you know about the guitar, the first couple digitz of the serial number, and where the squier was made.

Thank you so much, this thread is already covering most squier models, we are just missing a few color schemes, pickup configurations, and I think a few more models are missing yet.

Alot of the 2000-2011 squier are still missing, Thanks again to anyone who has posted

keep in mind we are looking for stock squiers, if yours has any modifications just list them out as mods

Squier M80

The M-80 was designed by Fender® Custom Shop Senior Master Builder, Todd Krause, to be the workingman's guitar for a new generation of players, and is an accumulation of more than 25 years of building guitars for some of the most recognized guitarists of all time – including Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, Roger Waters and Richie Sambora to name a few! This guitar is an evolution of the M-77 and Series 24 guitars and features a basswood body, mahogany set-neck construction, satin, Duncan Designed™ humbucking pickups and platinum hardware.

Here's Todd Krause speaking about the M-80:
"I've been working on the M-80 for a long time. I designed it for somebody who was playing at a club, working with a label, about to be signed. I wanted to build a "workingman's guitar" for a new generation of players. That guitar evolved from many years of seeing things in guitars that I like or dislike. A lot of designs on that guitar are my gut-level reaction to what I see people playing, my playing, and what players tell me they like and dislike – or find comfortable and uncomfortable."
There's a lot of design in the M-80 that doesn't meet the eye. For example, the body comes from a shortened Mustang® guitar. If you put a longer-scale neck on a Mustang® , you have to shorten the body do it feels right. I placed the strap buttons, so that when the guitar is hanging, it feels familiar. Let me put it this way...I've got 25 years in the business, and the M-80 is the accumulation of 25 years of designing and building guitars for the world's most discriminating players."

That M-77 is gorgeous -- especially in that color finish. How does it sound compared to your Pro Tone (I'm asking this realizing that those are two completely different pickup configs )?
