I have been playing guitar for about 7 years now and i have had a few guitars, but for overall playability ikeepcoming back to the old squier. seriously, people that complain that you cant get a good tone out of this are crazy. plug one of these into a good old tube amp and it will give you allthe chimey strat tones you could want all the way up to any array of full bore metal tones. sure, its cheap, but isnt that what an electric guitar should be. i have played fenders costing 5 tmes as much and can hardly tell the difference. if you are an advanced player, i would recommend upgrading the pickups and possibly bridge, but for the rest majority of guitar players, this could be all the guitar you will ever need. If you do buy one of these however, be warned, they need a good set up and a good looking at before you can expect them to play like a custom shop strat, so give them the attention they deserve. i mean, ultimately, thats what makes a custom shop worth more... time spent setting it up. So stop feeling like you need to spend a million dollars on a guitar that really only should cost a couple hundred.

Picked this guitar up from an individual used just to add to my collection. What a wonderful surprise. It has some unique tones and plays well. Haven't had any tuning issues yet. Worth the money if you want an extra guitar or if you're just starting out.

Having played lots of beginners guitars, this one is the best one I have played yet. The only complaint I have is the pick guard looks cheap.I love how this guitar played straight from the box.The are so many tone combinations from this guitar that it will never get boring. I will keep this guitar and upgrade the electronics as I get better but for now and the next few years this guitar is all I need.

I got this guitar about a year ago to go with the Gibson LP Custom to try some single coil pickups and I have no complaints. It sounds great and has survived all the beatings I have put it through thus far. It sounds awesome no matter what style of music you play. It is Great guitar at a great price. Get this guitar! My title said it all.

I've played guitar for about a year, and this guitar is amazing! This was my first guitar, and mine is a model from the 80's or 90's. This thing is really easy to play, and roars with my Fender Frontman Reverb amp. It's a great guitar for a good price. I've played actual Fender strats, Gibsons, and many other gutiars, but this one is my favorite. This guitar will bring you much joy if you buy it.
