I recently wandered into a guitar shop in my area and this dude has a strat copy that says "Squire" on the headstock. The funny thing is this guitar has a scalloped fretboard and it weighs almost as much as my epi LP... What gives? This seemed like a really nice guitar. It has 3 EMG singles and feels really solid. Any ideas if this could really be a squire strat? What do they use for body wood? There is no way that this is plywood. feels like alder or even ash... weird...

Was it a used one or a brandnew? If I remember right the first Squiers were of japanese origin back in the mid 80´s..., I also had a mexican or korean Squier for a time, I don´t remember where it was from, but it was amazing... a real heavy and massive, trusty guitar... I kept it totally stock with it´s three single coils, I liked it tonewise alot, but it was hard to play... I like the shorter Gibson style scale alot more... I think you can´t go wrong with a Squier.  |

Scalloped fretboard? I know Fender has a guitar or two with a scalloped fretboard, but I'm almost positive Squier never put one of those out.

Probably Alder and someone did some modifications to the fretboard and replaced the pickups.

Yeah, I'm with CAFeathers. I think that it was probably an Alder body. Someone may have just scalloped the squire neck on their own (or had it done) and installed the pups. It was probably all custom built. Nice axe in my opinion. If I had an extra $500 bucks laying around, that guitar would be mine.
