But the fretboard wasn't very dark at all and I never could get it set up to where I was happy with it.I also had another 50th Anniversary Squier that had a real thick rosewood fretboard and it was pretty decent, but I ended up selling it as well.For some reason, I'm drawn to any of the Anniversary models even if they play sub par.

It had a white single ply 8 hole pickguard with antique/vintage white pickup covers and knobs and probably the thickest rosewood fretboard I've ever seen. It was made in China, but I definitely don't think it said Affinity. I used to have a Candy Red Squier 50th Anniversary as well. I have something very similar, I think?Purchased a Squier Strat a while ago and went to look it up.It has the typical options that the Affinity Series has, with the exception that is has 22 frets just like yours does.My Serial Number on the back is 'NC 736935' and it also says Made in China.As for the guitar? It plays extremely well and sounds just as good as my American Strat.I've scoured the internet and have found tons of Squier Affinity Strats, but none that have 22 frets.An oddball maybe? Doesnt matter to me, it plays well and that's good enough for me. Is this some special model, or just normal? Is there any website with all the squier models listed (with specs) so I can identify it?Thanks a lot. Also, the back plate has the holes off-center, unlike regular strat copies.My question is: what model is this? Same with sound.The back says Made in China, and the serial number is YN616261.

I was expecting 21! With a vintage tremolo? The whole finish seems quite good too, better than today squier's standards. The tuners seem sturdier than today's regular squier tuners too.So, at least I know it's a '96 model.Then I noticed the number of frets. 'Squier Strat' on black followed by 'by Fender' on a small style headstock (not big headstock as on today's squiers).Then I noticed a sticker on the back of the headstock, celebrating the 50 years of fender ('45 - '96), which I don't know if it's common, but I never saw on a squier.

I'm having some problem identifying the model tho.I thought it was a regular affinity type squier strat. Hi.I bought today an used squier stratocaster.
