Today I got up at 5:30 am, showered and hit the Flea Market at 6:45, kinda late for me. But I managed to snag a black Fender Squier Strat for $35 with a gig bag, guitar stand and pro cord. The seller wanted $50 and I offered $35. He countered with $40 but I held firm. After all, I'm taking all the risks - does everything work? The seller said it was about 15 years old. Not sure where it was made. Hoping for a Japanese origin. Need to do some research to find out. I'll post more later.
