1999 Squier Stagemaster!

 This is a very nice modified stratocaster guitar. It was produced back in 1999 as part of the Squier Stagemaster series by Fender. This model came out in 1999 and it was discontinued in 2000. These guitars are a bit rare compared to other strat models but they are really worth checking out. Such models can be sourced in the used market (e-bay etc) for about 100-200 euros.
 This one had a 22-fret left-hand neck bolted on a modified strat body. The cutaways of the body are a bit deeper to allow for better fret accessibility. The guitar is equipped with a floyd rose licenced tremolo system. The pickups are standard ceramic ones in an H-S-H configuration. The humbucking pickups are pretty hot with powerful mids and tone suitable for soloing (and lots of 80's "shredding" I might say!). The single coil middle pickup combined with the 5-way p/u selector is suitable for smoother clean and mild overdriven sounds. There is a Alpha A500K master volume and a B500K master tone control for all pickups.
 The guitar has a comfortable neck joint and a very smooth and playable neck profile. The frets are medium sized and the headstock is painted in a body-matching color.
 This particular stagemaster guitar was bought used for cheap and it had quite a few marks of use. I refinished the neck because it had many dents on it. The frets were leveled and polished. The floyd tremolo has seen better days so we decided to lock it using a small block of wood. The electronics were cleaned with an oil free contact cleaner spray. The guitar was put together, thoroughly cleaned and set up with a fresh set of coated 0,09" strings.

Here are a few pictures of the actual guitar:
