One of the best guitars I've ever owned!!!

Most of the time when one hears the word "Squier" they shy away because they are afraid of low quality products. I was the same way until I bought this guitar. Right out of the box it looked beautiful, no scratches, dents... nothing. I plugged it in and it plays like a pro. Beautiful clean sounds, and "nasty" (in a good way) distortion out of an amp. The neck is very easy for fast playing too. I must say there are some things I don't like about it though. Sometimes the strings buzz a little (not too bad), the low tone control doesn't work well, the tremolo gets the guitar like 2 steps out of tune if used more than once, and finally, probably the most annoying thing, when you use the 5-way switch it sometimes crackles and pops (this can be fixed with the purchase of a new one). I would definantly recommend this guitar to anyone. I don't care if your a beginner, or a 20 year pro! This guitar is a great investment!

Don't let the price and name fool you

Bought this guitar just for the body and pickups for a project guitar. After changing out the neck for a full fledged Fender "57" Strat neck this is one hot axe. Even with the stock neck, this is a very nice well made guitar for the money. And this baby will out-rock any squire, and most MIM guitars. The stock single coils have a nice sound to them. But the Semour Humbucker screams for some very hot leads. Has quickly become my favorite sounding guitar. Don't let the Squire name fool you, this is a great guitar. Buy it you won't be disappointed!

Noiseless Versitile Value

The HSS configuration allows an amazing range of sound and the pickups are noiseless. I compared this to an SSS Mexican Strat and to my ear (and fingers) this one wins. Most of the positive reviews here are from professionals; I am not one, but I have played for over 40 years, am playing this instrument several times per week and am thoroughly enjoy it.

A Squier-ific Axe Man!!!

Wow-This is a ROCKIN' Little Strat!!! It feels like playing a pretty good Stratocaster-but one with it's own personality. The Humbucker is High-Output and has a "Wet" sound (very cool). The 'Duncan-designed' single-coils have a great "quacky" sound. Just what you want on a Strat. The gloss neck has a good feel to it,very playable. And the sealed die-cast tuners keep it in tune nicely. Overall a good guitar for the money-VERY Fun To Play. And awesome looking as well-Mine is the Gun-Metal Gray Finish....:-)

Squire to die for! SETUP NEEDED!
Posted by Dave from Redding, CA on Oct 1, 2008

This is the one. The workmanship needs help as the frets needed to be leveled. Also had a dead fret at 13th sixth string. After spending $80.00 to make it playable it plays better than an American made Fender. Great sound from screams to squeals this thing has some bite! Quality electronics on this model from the factory!
