Here’s a 1996 Squier Pro Tone Stratocaster in Vintage Blonde, and it is very clean, all original, with untouched solder joints.
I’ve sold a bunch of Pro Tones over the years, and this one stands out immediately. It presents about as clean as you could ever hope to find for its age and has no cosmetic damage other than one tiny blemish shown in photos. 9/10
The resonant ash body brings this one in at 7 lbs 15 oz, with great balance and lively acoustic response. The neck carve feels fantastic, the frets are in excellent shape with a conservative 80% life remaining, and the guitar comes professionally setup in-house at Cranston Guitars with a premium set of strings.
Includes a free super thick padded gig-bag and backplate with screws.

We don’t just love Strats—we adore them. Proper Instruments redefines the simplicity of Leo’s original design. Most Strats are muddy when the tone controls are below 7. Players just live with it—or add a treble bleed.
That’s child’s play.
Proper Passive is built to be usable from 0–10—you can’t get a bad sound, even at bedroom volumes. 0 starts your journey—JM/BB-style. 10 delivers full SRV bite and presence. Everything in between is there for the taking.
All with no batteries or useless blender controls, Ever.
Setup, overhaul, or full restoration—we’ve got you.
Every guitar is different. We take the time to understand what you have and what you want before recommending our services. No upsells. No guesswork. Just real guidance backed by experience.
For larger or specialty work, we partner with Boylan Guitars in Harrisville, RI—our community partner.
