it has a nice flame on the wood.Some of the early squiers from the 80's go for that. but this one is from 04 and not even close for 700 i would give him $100

Very observant zerksies.

I noticed that it's a crafted in Indonesia.
As a quick heads up, a lot of the superb finishes on these guitars,
it's actually a transparent Photo-film type material.
It's a common finishing technique on more brands of guitars that you think.

I have worked on a few of these Squires, & somewhere in my photo archive, I have pics of the film over body.
It's more noticeable, when you remove the scratch plate,
& typically between the end of the neck & the neck pickup.

As I said, many companies use this film to get beautiful looking matched or sunburst finishes.

I don't belive this Photo-film technique has been discussed here in any topic before.

So that's the best way to keep a guitar in tune.
