I have one. Made in 2008. Bought it for $100 from a real estate guy that was forced to take guitars in trade for a service he provided for a music store owner. He wasn't happy, but I was! Fixed the frets, put in Lace Sensor pickups with a mother of pearl pickguard and a SRV wiring job, and I am playing it to this day!
I have an identical Indian Squier Strat with the exception of a red perloid pick guard. Those Duncan Designed pickups were made for the Asian market. They are quite bright and clear sounding, vey good for recording direct. Interesting about increased access up the neck. I believe these were made around 2008-2010. I have an older HSS Indian Squier Strat from the late 80s. Fender only allowed the Indian plant a one-year run because almost everything on the guitars were out of spec. You could never replace the pickups, toggle with or pick guard without modifications. Even the headstock and horns have different shapes. However the Indian rosewood fingerboard is great and even with the cheap tuners it tunes perfectly. Thanks for posting!
I have one of these guitars with HSS configuration but it seems that i cant lower the bridge even if i screw the claw all the way its still floating do you have any idea how can i lower the bridge?
@@zalmatyassine7357 sure. There may be several factors contributing to that. 1. Your springs: maybe you need more springs to connect the claw to the base plate. Or maybe the existing ones are low tension and you need to get more robust ones. This is usually the best way to fix it. 2. Your neck relief: if your neck is bowing away too much from the body, it will exert more force on your strings and will cause the bridge to rise, so adjust that via the truss rod and see if it helps. 3. Your string gauge: go lighter and it will help, especially if you are in standard tuning. 4. Your bridge screws: if all the 6 screws are turned all the way tightly then it might also cause stability issues. What you want to do is keep the ones of either end the tightest and progressively looser towards the center. 5. Add more weight to your base plate: sometimes, with these cheaper strats, the alloy material used on the blocks attached to the base plates don’t have a lot of mass. Simply replacing them with a heavier material like a solid brass or steel block will add more counterweight and help you get the bridge to sit more flush. I’m confident that a combination of all these things will help you achieve the setup you’re looking for.
Nice!

Wow, thanks for all the info!
I have a Jackson Js30 dinky made in India. Made with Indian Cedro (Cedar)
Makes sense since Fender acquired Jackson! Probably from the same factory too. Is it a good player?
