I got my hotrails 5 weeks ago and so far im happy. For one thing it looks so good everytime I see it I have to pick it up and play. It can play clean, fat, or screem like a banshee. You have to play around with the tone and pick up settings. This guitar would be more than good enough for a beginner.

Well I wanted to add my two cents to the rating on this guitar since I have now been playing one for close to a year. I bought this thru MF last year and when I got the guitar what surprise... First off, it was beautiful right out of the box with a stunning white paint job. The hardware is very nice and durable. I did have to adjust the bridge saddles a bit lower as I like lower action. The neck feels really nice like the older strats. The sound of the guitar is a full sweet tone when clean and gets really good rock tones when ran thru my Marshall non master 50 watt half stack.

This is one of the best deals I have seen in years and the build quality is really nice, and no sharp fret ends. The fret work on mine was good right from the start. I was using a MIM strat as my main club guitar but it lost its spot and now this is my main gigging guitar. The rails pups are nice and a good twist from using single coils, no hum...They also do the rock thing very well. The bridge is very nice with 2 pivot point and stainless saddles. I tightened the bridge down as I do not use the whammy bar. All in all, an excellent deal, don't let the name fool you, this is a true fender and a great sounding and playing guitar. If anyone couldn't gig with this guitar, they should look for another line of work. I should know as I have been gigging and playing for over 30+ years and owned many expensive guitars too.

Hot Rails Deluxe Squire Strat, Olympic White. Beautiful finish, good neck wood and average fingerboard wood. Very good fretwork at this price level. Better than average hardware at this price level. Bought it for a beginner. Sounds good and plays very well. Is gig-able with a couple of tweaks and a decent case. A very good value!

Well, I am familiar with the Squire Strats from the mid 80's being built excellent from Japan. Surprisingly, these Indonesian built Squire Deluxe strats have a neck that feels like the 60's strats. Why doesn't the MIM strats feel this good? Over all a guitar that is built with a basswood body has an excellent tone for all around rock n roll. I prefer the basswood over alder for the rock style tone. The build quality is excellent and not cheap like the lower line squire strats. The deluxe series is a new better quality and I hope Fender keeps this up.

I love the tone of this guitar. I think the quality is sometimes hit or miss in the setup. I got mine thru MF and it was sent with the setup perfect. Feels like a really good strat and the sounds are great. An overall excellent deal on the price. When more people find how good this guitar is I'm sure the price will get much higher. I really like my Squire Deluxe and will be buying another one soon to have a really good backup but will probably put a humbucker in the bridge on that one. I have 30 years of playing experience behind me so I know strats.
