I recently got an SE to do a bunch of mods on, because I had done a mod on a 1996 MIC Squier Bullet, but chose not to do a GFS steel trem block because I had heard that Bullets and Affinitys are smaller. Has anyone ever encountered an SE that was NOT 1.75" thick? I was thrown for a loop a little bit by a post in another thread, which suggested that "some" SE's are not full size. Just measure it! Hope my rambling helped. Everything today is top quality as far as I can tell. Of course, the Deluxe is a lot more expensive and side by side it is easy to see why. I love both of them but my bullet is a lot easier on my shoulder. I have a bullet hardtail and it is only 1.50 thick. If the body isn't full size the bottom of the block will stand out the back of the body. Real reason you need the full thickness is so the guitar will accept a full size tremolo block. People can make up a waterslide so just depend on your rule or a caliper. Measure is the only way to know for sure. The Deluxe is full size but it doesn't have Deluxe written on it either. The SE doesn't say SE on the headstock, you just have to measure it. Anything that says "standard" on the headstock is full size. The SE is part of a strat-pac which comes with the little cheap 10 watt Squier Amp. The cheapest full size body you will find is the SE. Most bullets and Affinities are below that. If the thickness at the horn is 1.75 inches then it is a full size body.
