Up for grabs is this killer 1987 Squier MIJ ST-357 Stratocaster. E7

The neck, body, hardware, tuners, and output jack are all original to the guitar. The only change from original is the loaded pickguard—and it’s a serious upgrade.

This is easily one of the best Squier necks I’ve ever played. It has some real girth to it and gets noticeably chunkier as you move up the neck. If you like a substantial vintage-style Strat neck that actually feels like something in your hand, this one is fantastic. 7.25" radius with vintage style frets.

The frets are in excellent shape with approximately 85% fret life remaining and no divots.

Cosmetically, expect scratches and normal signs of play wear consistent with a nearly 40-year-old guitar. The only notable ding I could find is on the lower bass bout on the back and is clearly shown in the photos. Overall, this guitar has aged beautifully and its truly a joy to play. 

This ST-357 is equipped with one of our $329 Proper Passive™ Loaded Pickguards, featuring:

• Handwound Proper ’58 Strat pickups (brand new unreleased set $229)
• Cloth push-back wiring throughout
• Oak Grigsby or CRL 5-way switch
• CTS 250k pots
• Proper Passive™ wiring and electronics
• Free gig-bag with purchase 
• Free QR tracker for life on QRguitar.com

The result is everything you want out of a great vintage-style Strat—clear, dynamic, touch-sensitive, woody, and ridiculously musical. This guitar absolutely rips.
