This is the Holy Grail of Squier guitars!  A 1997-1998 Blue Sparkle Squier Super Sonic in excellent condition!  A truly beautiful guitar in all original condition.  The only condition issue I can even mention on this guitar is a very small crack in the pickguard coming from the toggle switch (pictured.)  Included is a Road Runner hardshell case.  Bid with confidence! "The Squier Super-Sonic was a guitar manufactured and sold by Squier for two years in the 1990s as part of Fender's 1997 Vista series. The guitar was designed by Joe Carducci, who was Fender's electric guitar product manager at the time, and who may have been inspired by an image of Jimi Hendrix playing a Fender Jaguar 'upside-down', or left-handed. The Super-Sonic came in 4 colours: Olympic White, Black, Sparkle Silver and Sparkle Blue. All Squier Super-Sonics came with a white/black/white sandwich pickguard and 24-inch scale, 22-fret rosewood fretboard and a 'skunk stripe' behind the maple neck. Like the Squier Jagmaster and Jaguar, the body was crafted from basswood in Japan. The guitar came with a reversed headstock and a Stratocaster-style bridge with hardened steel-pressed saddles and a screwed-in tremolo arm. Kluson-style tuners similar to those found on many Stratocasters were used on the headstock. The Super-Sonic has two humbuckers. These pickups were produced in South Korea, and had wooden spacers, and ceramic magnets. The guitar had no tone control, but instead utilized two volume controls with pickup switching controlled by a 3-way toggle switch. The volume controls were wired reverse, with the volume control closest to the bridge controlling the bridge pickup, and the volume control closest to the input jack working the rhythm pickup."
