Rare 2005 Squier Master Series M-80 Special guitar in Walnut finish. Guitar is in excellent condition overall with just a few very small scratches. These were designed by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Todd Krause and were only made for 2 years.

Features a basswood body, bolt-on mahogany neck with a poly finish and a rosewood fretboard. The neck has a C-Shape, 22 Jumbo frets, 12” Radius (305mm), Nut Width: 1.6875” (42.86 mm), and a guitar Scale Length: 24.75" (628.65 mm). Tune-o-matic style bridge w/ stop tail piece. 3 way switch, 2 vol, 2 tone controls. Duncan Designed humubuckers.

Neck is straight and plays smoothly with low action. Frets show hardly any wear. The Duncan Designed pickups sound clear, balance and have strong output. Plays nice. Recently set up with 10's.

Comes with hardshell case.




Todd Krause's comments on the M-80 from Squier marketing collateral: "I've been working on the M-80 for a long time. I designed it for somebody who was playing at a club, working with a label, about to be signed. I wanted to build a "workingman's guitar" for a new generation of players. That guitar evolved from many years of seeing things in guitars that I like or dislike. A lot of designs on that guitar are my gut-level reaction to what I see people playing, my playing, and what players tell me they like and dislike – or find comfortable and uncomfortable. "There's a lot of design in the M-80 that doesn't meet the eye. For example, the body comes from a shortened Mustang guitar. If you put a longer-scale neck on a Mustang, you have to shorten the body, so it feels right. I placed the strap buttons, so that when the guitar is hanging, it feels familiar."
