As far as i know this is the only site currently on the internet that is about the Squier Musicmaster. Ive tried to reserach it but can hardly find anything about it. The main piece of information was found on an FAQ at a Vista site.
"Why wasn't the Musicmaster (guitar) as publicised or popular as the other Vista Series guitars?
The Musicmaster (guitar) came out in 1998, after the others. It only sold for $170. Neat design, colours, and everything, but the craftsmanship was lousy. All the Vistas were made in Japan, and like the old Japanese re-issue Jazzmasters and Mustangs that Fender made, their quality kicked butt. Small frets (vintage-like), high gloss necks, nice maple, solid construction and at an affordable price. The Musicmasters were made in Indonesia, their bodies were thinner, and not many people liked them, and it's failure may have been why Fender pulled the Vistas all together. If they had made them the same Japanese quality, I'm sure they would have sold well. Info submitted by Derek (Washington DC, USA)"
Personally i dont agree with the lousy craftmanship comment (otherwise i wouldnt be making this site) and think that it was said with a certain niavity about the country of manufacture
