It was pretty cheaply made (big surprise, right?). There was also a Squier branded hard case. In like manner, before 96, the guitar was a Squier Traditional stratocaster guitar. For these years, there was also a "traditional stratocaster" which had the black Fender lettering with nothing on the ball of the headstock.
The Fender MIM "squier series" was a 96, 97 only and carried a black lettered Fender name. Now, they are the same guitar parts wise, but there were different marketing identies. There is also a Squier series, which is a mim Fender guitar and the "squier series" is in very small letters on the ball of the headstock instead of "original contour body". There is a Squier branded guitar with both Fender and Squier labels. from my understanding prices up in Alaska are often slightly higher (high shipping costs for goods up there, less competition, etc), so if you paid $25 more here and there, you may not have done too bad up there. These prices are based on the Austin, TX area. These did not normally come with a case, and if its in good condition it may be worth an additional $25-$50, especially since its a Fender branded case. And given that MIM Fender Standards are selling in the $150-$250 range these days DO NOT pay too much for one of the lesser models, a "real" Fender is always going to be worth more at resale. Watch out for people with the "Squier Series" part of the logo sanded off trying to pass off these lesser models as an MIM Fender Standard. Values are typically in the $75-$125 range for a Squier, and maybe $100 up to $150 for a nice Fender labeled one. less select wood with more pieces in it usually, and as I said, cheaper parts. They are both cheapened versions of the MIM Standard. They are actually very similar in quality, with the Fender labeled guitar being only very slightly better in quality (slightly more select wood, and usually marginally better fit and finish, but basically the same cheaper grade of hardware, pickups and electronics). it is a Mexican "Squier by Fender" (if Squier is the big name in the decal) or "Fender Squier Series" (if Fender is the big name in the decal).
