Korean Squier Standard Stratocaster "E" Series: electrics and pickups are different from the MIJ ones (just look to the magnet bar), Courtesy of Reverb
Squier Standard Stratocaster "S" Series: different decals and unbranded cast/sealed tuning machines. Saddles used in the first Korean Standard Series are Fender double stamped. Cracks on the bofy finish are common on these strats. Courtesy of Reverb
