for some reason i had it in my head that this was a strat, and had to re-read the OP to check it wasn't. it only occured to me afterwards that it wouldn't be in for sale: basses if it was a strat.

i must be going crazy

Nah - not crazy. There was indeed a SS strat, and guitarists bang on relentlessly about them having 'Holy Grail Mojo' and ' Awesome Tone'. Which is why it probably popped into your mind (no offence intended).

But if you're still worried you might be losing your mind, I have a sure fire but very secret test. Just send me £200 and I'll tell you what's involved.

If it's a 'Silver Series' shouldn't it have 'Silver Series' written on the point of the headstock and be made in Japan not Korea?

It's seems that it's a common mistake that's repeated on a lot of forums. People seem to think 'Silver Series' = silver logo. You see a lot of people talking about 'gold series' as well.

[EssentialTension]

Mind you the serial checks out as made in Japan (Fuji-gen plant) not Korea as stated on the headstock.

[Musky]

There were S serial squiers coming out of Korea around 1989. I think I've got info bookmarked somewhere...

Yes S9***** can refer to Samick plant Korea 1989 (according to Wikipedia) but [url="http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx"]Guitar Dater Project[/url] gives Fuji-gen plant in Japan for this particular serial number.

However the headstock must be correct and it is a 1989 Samick built Korean Squier and not Japanese Silver Series.

The guitar dater site only cater for US, Japanese and Mexican Fenders and not Squiers, so that'll be why it's throwing up Fuji Gen.

But yes, definitely not a Silver Series.
