New Squier Models for 1999

Wow! What a great find! Here is the description of the New Squier Models for 1999, and here is the Stagemaster description from the same page:

SQUIER STAGEMASTER MODELS

"This entirely new Squier Stagemaster, is made explicitly with the young rocker in mind. With its sleek body design, reverse headstock and drive-bombing, double-locking tremolo, the new Squier Stagemaster spells "flash" with every feature. Each guitar comes equipped with sleek hardwood body, maple neck, reverse Strat headstock, die-cast machine heads, Rosewood fingerboard (12.6" radius), 22 frets, master volume and tone controls, white/black/white pickguard and a Floyd Rose® licensed double-locking tremolo. The Stagemaster is available in three different pickup configurations. The Stagemaster HSS features a scorching humbucker in the bridge position and two hot single-coils in the middle and neck with 5-way switching. While the HH features dual humbuckers and 3-way switching, the HSH has dual humbuckers and one single-coil pickup in the middle. In addition to Black, all new colors are available, including: Frost Red, Polar White, Cobalt Blue Metallic and Galactic Purple."

Finally! I now know ALL of the colors that were available for this guitar. "Galactic Purple?!" I'd just love to see one of those. Also on this page is a photo of a red HSH.

Nice! A great photo too. A lot of photos I've seen on the web misrepresent the color, but your photo does it justice.

Great Site !!

I just bought a second hand Squier Stagemaster Deluxe HH in Shoreline Gold Color.

Its a neck through body so provides easy access to the upper frets. Anybody here have the same model as mine ?

I have a Chinese 1998 Stagemaster in Purple. It's an HSS that I picked up for $50 and spent a while straightening out. Now it plays very sweet...

Harmony Central has moved the page regarding the 1999 New Squire Models to: http://www.harmony-central.com/Events/WNAMM99/Fender/New-Squier-Models.html
A slight difference, but an important one.
