My 1989 Bahama Green Strat Plus

24 points · submitted Nov 2024 by u/Daeborn

I've owned this since new when I got it from American Music in Seattle in December of 1989. I looked at a few Strat Plus guitars but obviously the color grabbed me. Currently it has Gilmour EMG setup, but I did keep the Lace pups. The original plastic case didn't last the gigs and I upgraded to a nice G&G Fender case. Still sounds amazing.

Like that color

Nice color, nice axe. But I'm partial to my 1990 N9 MIA Squire. Woefully underrated instrument. About as close as you can get to a '59 without paying through the nose.

$2k for an American Classic, ROTFL, which is virtually identical to the N9 Squire.

A couple more grand and you can get an actual '59, lol. A player anyway. They're like $15-20k in excellent condition. There's probably more actual '59s out there than N9 Squires.
