Help ID a CY01 Squier... Please!!!

[dugrock]

Hello All,
I know this isn't a Strat but PLEASE HELP! if you can and Admin. move it if you must. I was in a Mom & Pop shop today looking around, when I saw a Squier in the corner all by it's lonesome. It didn't have any strings the jack was hanging out and it had a few nicks in the paint. I've been around here and Squier Talk for quite some time and I don't remember seeing one like this before... I'm wondering if you guys can help!!! No pictures of course but I'll try to describe it. First it's serial # started with a "CY01", the body and headstock were a dark metalic blue. The body was shaped more like a Kramer or Ibanez but the headstock was a reverse Strat style. It was a double cut-a-way like a Strat but the edges were alot sharper. It had a Floyd Rose Tremelo and roller nut. The headstock said Squier but I think that was it. Maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 frets. The jack plate was on the edge like a Tele. The pup's were H-S-H with two knobs no pickguard. The back had a cavity and trem set up like a Strat with three springs. The neck plate wasn't square like a Strat but curved along the left side with 4 screws. Anyway the guy said he gave $80. for it. I think he would probably sell it for that. It looked factory to me except maybe the trem. Do you guys think it's a bastard or does someone have an ax like it? If so please show pictures. I might be getting Mod GAS!!!

Hi Zombiebear,
Yes, I believe that's it. I'm pretty sure the one I saw had a single coil between the HB's but I could be wrong. Thanks for the help.

2000: Showmasters and 7-Strings

The dawn of the new millennium saw Squier dabbling once again in areas perhaps better left to others, with several products designed to appeal to and accommodate more aggressive playing styles. The Squier Showmaster Series, much like the HM Series of the 1980s, featured non-pickguard guitars with locking tremolos, multiple humbucking pickup configurations, black hardware and reverse headstock designs. Music tastes at the time often ran to lower-than-low sub tones fueled by 7-string models, and Squier produced a short-lived 7-string Showmaster guitar.

Throughout the early 2000s, Squier staples such as the Affinity and Standard series continued with few changes other than occasional color additions, although a new twin-pivot bridge with satin anodized saddles was added to the Standard Series (once again mirroring Fender in design evolution).
