1984 MIJ Squier Stratocaster in Camasrillo CA for $275
Here is a seller offering a 1984 Squier Strat that has a big headstock, 3-bolt neck and bullet truss rod just like the 1970's era guitars. This is from the period when FMIC had been purchased by the employees and they didn't have the Corona plant up and running yet so Japan production was a big part of their business. I've owned a few Japanese Fender Strats from this period and they can be pretty nice - especially the necks. Note that this is not a JV Squier (Japanese Vintage series).
The hardware and wiring is usually hit or miss so it helps to look at them carefully - edxpecailly things like the saddles, the bridges and the biggest culprits are the VOL and tone pots. However, as we all know - those items are fairly easily replaced. I see MIJ Squiers going for quite a bit more than this on eBay. Some sellers are even asking this much money for just a neck. Either way might be worth checking this out.
