there is a picture of my guitar on the current show master thread,but i dont know how to add it to this post...so if some one knows how that works could you please post it to this thread ,i cant add it because the computer im using at this moment is not the one with my photos on it...it is post #11..on squire showmaster thread.

this is the spec-build sheet.for a guitar i have been calling a show master. matched to my serial number..from fender..they call it a strat.....the website that appraises resale value for guitars and i cant remember the name of it,calls this guitar a show master.......the word stratocaster,or show master appears no where on this guitar....so now i have no idea what this guitar is.
i cant call it a strat,it only has 2 knobs and no front input jack,its on the side,no fret board inlays,..so im not real sure what this thing is..what i can tell you is i have turned down 1 offer of 700 dollars...its not for sale..i have had it since 2005.

fender ... this blue book site

To guitarists of a certain age, a Fender Showmaster will always be an amplifier.

In the case of their guitar lines, the Showmaster series is, essentially, a rocked up Stratocaster.

i already knew all this.....but thank you.....fender calls it a strat,,this blue book site calls it a show master.....if its a stratocaster you would think fender would put a strat logo on it.

Sorry, misunderstood ya. I would go with strat, Fender built it...

nothing to be sory about sir..no worries.....where are the strat guys?..would a stratocaster player call this a strotcaster?.......i think what ever i have is a nice guitar and ive had it for 6 years and it plays great and sounds great.i would like to know the correct model name for it..the lack of the model name anywhere on it is kinda weird..it does have the fender logo of course on the head stock.
 
Re: somebody please tell me what the hell this is?

maybe the words in the build sheet.....special edition series...are a clue...any body know any thing about this?.....the 2 knobs and side jack keep me from calling it a strat.
