This guitar is a red Made In Korea Squire Stratocaster. Not much else known about it. Assumed to be the guitar found in the trash and given to Tom by a friend but we don't have definitive proof of that. Covered with stickers over the years.

It has all 3 stock single coil pickups. Tom oddly played and recorded with this guitar set to position 4, using and blending the middle and neck single coil pickups. This gives the recordings it was used on a very odd, distinct sound, especially for punk rock.

The recordings this guitar was used on are Flyswatter, Demo 2, Buddha, Short Bus and Cheshire Cat. I have photos of Tom in the studio recording Cheshire Cat with this guitar. It's the only electric guitar we know of him owning until he used the advanced money from Cargo Records, after signing with them, and bought his 1994 Fender American Standard 40th anniversary edition Stratocaster aka the "sticker strat".
