This article deals with teles, not strats, but the differences should be similar.

Thanks a lot. So its safe to assume that my strat is more of a standard model huh. So my strat might have Alnico pickups in it? That would be sweet.

What's the difference between a 2005 fender squier and a 2005 fender squier affinity?

This guitar was a 2005 cxs serial. It's got "squier" stamped on the back of the tuning machines.

Great information thanks 🎸

Next project will be an affinity squier HS build.

Can't offer any help so I'll just say Congratulations and Happy New Guitar Day. 

Thanks 😎 I ordered a vintage tremolo kit that measures right up with my measurements. I will post a sound clip after she's all together and playing.

I really like the neck its wide and big like my hands need. Playing is enjoyable. The frets are like new its almost as if this guitar spent its life untouched.

The wood looks like plywood. But its still cool ima try n fix it up. The pots were 500k! the pickups sound about what it costs.

The bridge was actually screwed down on top of the pickguard like it came from the factory that way. Like 1/8th of an inch of pickguard was under the tremolo. I cleared away some of the pickguard so the tremolo will sit flush like its suppose to. The tuning machines are being replaced with a better identical looking set. 

I got a pickguard loaded with some CTS mini 250k pots and an orange drop .47 cap with a 5way switch and x3 single coils. I ordered a budget set of Alnico 5 single coils and im thinking of buying a Wilkinson tremolo kit. Installed some new tremolo springs on the back. In a few days I will assemble it with new parts and strings and fine tune and set her up. Its exactly the project I was looking for.

Your right I guess that's most important is if I like it for what it is.

FYI, LS 11/RS8 is the model number not the serial number.

They used to put the Serial Numbers on the neck screw plate, but either yours was swapped, or that was discontinued before yours was built.

This was likely made in the Inchon factory.

Beyond that?

The LS-10/LS-11 are pretty basic entry level hard tail strat copies, like a Squier.

I wish I knew the year and what the body was made of. Thanks for the reply!

So I recently bought a guitar on Ebay. It looks nice and I'm having trouble finding out anything about it. I think it's a 1995-1996 

The serial number is LS 11/RS8

I would love to know anything and everything about this guitar. Please any help would be great.
