Might go cheap as it is collection only. These are very nice! Not for me, though.

Tuners missing ferrules and looking well wonky, and no pic of rear of headstock - tread very carefully if you feel tempted.

Those ferrules are not easy to find

Definitely a bit of a project, fair enough if it stays around £100 or thereabouts.

Are the solid colour Silver Series Squiers the ones with MDF bodies?

Jon.

Jon, I think the Silver Series were basswood or similar. I had an E series Jazz that was MDF. It actually sounded fantastic, just weighed too much.

[Musky]

There do seem to have been a few Silver Series about that were made with MDF. I was a little sceptical when I first saw some pictures, thinking maybe the body had been swapped at some point, but since I've seen others reporting the same thing. They appear to have turned up towards the end of production, but that's not to say all the later ones are MDF or that they couldn't have turned up earlier.

I've got a Silver Series Precision in white and it's made of basswood.

[Bassassin]

Always been curious when the MDF bodies were around after picking up a (99% certain) Fujigen-built no-name Precision copy, which turned out to be MDF under the rattlecan spray job. I assumed it was from the same era as the cardboard Silver Series, didn't know they used MDF on E-serials too.
