The only true thing is that a '96 Squier is better than many contemporary "Made in Mexico" or "Crafted in China" Fenders. Too bad for Fenders.

I don't see any humbucker in the bridge position: just a stock "lipstick" Tele single coil.

Well the one picturd is a thinline, which mine is not. Mine is a solid body(ash)in blonde. It came stock with a full sized HB in the neck and a single coil in the bridge.
My SV has the Strymon SV Pre installd, so it sounds much better than a stock SV.
