I have played on several Ibanez models, and i think that it is obvious that squier isnt that good, but in my oppinion it is the best guitar for begginers. I dont like that the second pickup isnt as good as the other two! I think that that is only my problem , a few friends told me that their pickups are working properly!

THe sound is pretty good for a cheap guitar, its not all that bad it could have been worse. The tone from the Stock pickups were pretty fat, The bridge had a pretty rounded off tone, it would have been better. THe neck and the middle Pus were realy noisey for some wierd reason. I changed the pickups inthis bird. And it sounds a lot better.

The action, i just love the feel of this axe. It is nice, Really nice. I said to hell wiht the pickups and changed them. THis thing needs a refret desperatly. THe finish of thise guitar is awasome. i like the Transparent SUnburst it looks sweet. The screws holding the bridge got rusted over time.

After i changed a lot of stuf fon this guitar it became a real killer axe. Buy one and do mods to it, and then it would be able to blow out any other axe you have played. and it SAVES MONEY.

I don't think that this guitar has anything fancy when it comes to features. Although, I think that the features are great for someone who is just learning to ply. I have been learning to play since December 27, 1998. Once again, I think it has good features for someone who is just learning to play.

The sound on this guiter rules. I have hooked it up to my Fender Frontman amp and I haven't had any problems with the sound. I t fits my music style perfectly. ( Alternative - Heavy Metal ). I have no negative comments about the sound.

This guitar in my opinion has been assembled perfectly. That's one of the ggod things about Fender/ Squire guitars- they are so perfectly made that if someone who can think of a better design, I would like to hear it. I don't think that that will happen anytime soon.

This guitar since it is Fender made, will probably last through live playing. The hardware will also probably last as well as the finish. The strap buttons are solid and it is highly dependable. Only, no matter how dependale it is, I wouldn't play any gig without a backup.

The salesperson that sold the guitar to us was extremly helpful and helped out whenever we needed it. I never had to get it repaired yet considring I play it almost every day.

I have been learning to play since December of 1998 and my other guitar ( which I never played much ) can;t compare t this one. If lost or stolen ( which I don't plan on it happening ) I would buy it again than I would find the criminal and beat him to a bloody pulp. I love all the features on it. I was looking at some Gibson's or Epiphone, but I am glad that I bought this guitar.

Sounds fine for my style (alternative/rock) 6th string vibrates TOO much. Bridge pickup a little too twangy. Otherwise it does fine.

Live,.... wouldn't trust it. Hardware MIGHT stick around a while... the finish i am sure will last. the strap buttons are solid. No, I wouldn't trust it with no backup.

I bought this guitar last week and it has 22 frets, I dont know where it is made and when it is made, it has 3 single coil pickups, 1 master volume and 2 Tone, single ply pickguard, non-locking tremolo and machine heads and a black finish, just like a standard strat
Sound
:

At first it sounds like shit but now it sounds different because i had changed its stock pickups with a Dimarzio virtual vintage solo on the bridge position and a Dimarzio Blue Velvet on the middle and neck positions and it sounded excellent, it gives me highs mids and lows, It now has the punch I needed to kick into my musical needs, it has now a very agressive tone . It suied my playing style even before I changed its pickups and now it really suits my playing style which is Pop, Rock, Metal, Blues and Funk.
Action, Fit, & Finish

It has an excellent low action which was setuped to my specification by the sales person I bought it. It has a good finish just like my friends '62 Fender Strat he was astonished when he saw my guitar. The only weak points of the guitar is the Tremolo, Machine heads or Tuning pegs and the Pickguard, but there is no problem there I had changed its Tuning pegs to Schaller staggered height tuning pegs, it is "A MUST" for every guitar with a non locking Tremolo or machine heads, also I have chenged the white pickguard into a white pearloid pickguard which made the guitar look stunning, I am looking forward to change the bridge this month for my guitar to look vintage, but I think I may not change the bridge it does the job for me quite fine coz' I'm not a DIVE BOMBER.

It Seems to me it will last long because I also have a RJ guitar which is made in the here in the Philippines which is a Stratocaster copy and is made out of plywood and it is still in my posession and still working fine for me, though I made some modifications with it,. Therefore I can say That My Squier will last long for me considering my playing habbit of banging it on the wall and floor. On a gig I will use it without a backup because of my past experience with my RJ guitar which never ever let me down in my gig.

I have been playing for 2 1/2 years and as far as I am concerned this guitar has the best tone of all the guitars I have ever used, because of the pickups. The only pedal I have is a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone and I'm proud of it. Also I wish that Fender would put a White pearloid pickguard options on their Squier Guitars.

This P.O.S. was made in 1998. It was made in China. It has 22 frets, two tone and one volume nobs. It has a five-way selector. The paint job is all right but the pick guard collects a lot of dust. It has medium size frets.

I play allternative rock and the sound quality is not very good. The guitars tuners vibrate when it is played to hard. I have a squier sidekick amp which is allright for my purposes but it tends to pichup radio stations. The distortion is not very good. I dont really like the sound of this guitar.

The guitar was out of tune out of the box. The pickups seem to low to me. The srews holding the on the bridge became rusted within weeks . This is not a high qualiy guitar. The tuning pegs were very tight and sometime became very loose.

The guitar has taken a lot of bumps withuot any scrathces. I think it will last it just doesnt look good after a while. The finish on the pickguard is starting to wear off after just a few months of playing. The strap buttons are solid. If you like to tune guitars this is the one for you. I have to tune it three times a day atleast. I wouldnt use the squier in a gig at all.

This guitar I got as part of the Squier Strat Pack. It is my first guitar, and it came with gig bag, strap, cable, a Squier Sidekick 10watt amp, and some replacement strings. It's got a rosewood neck, and it's got 3 single coil pickups. I still haven't figured it out, but I have a 5-way pickup selector. It also came with a nice black finish, but the white pickguard looks almost worn...

It sounds great for what I play it with. Like I said, I play it with a Squier Sidekick, a little amp with a 5" speak, and I soon hope to upgrade to a Crate GFX-60... I like it on a 4-bass/1-treble setting on the amp, and forget overdrive, it just sounds shotty.

I haven't been playing long, and I don't own anything else except a bag and an amp. If it was stolen, uh, i'd get the insurance company to buy me a new one! It is a good guitar, for what I know.

1998 made in Chine. 22 frets, seems like alder body, 5-way selector. Classic strat pickup configuration. Sunburnst finish (really cool and nice for a really cheap guitar) Floating bridge is useless (lots of noise, the guitar gets out of tune immediately, please do not even try it!)

I'm a classic rock, blues and jazz player. The guitar suits my style somewhat. I'm using a Peavey Audition 110. The guitar is really noisy. The sound is thin (due to very bad pickups) For SRV like tone it sounds fairly good as well for blues. Forget it for great solos or high distorted rhytmes. Basically it is as flexible as any strat, but with a weak sound.

The guitar was awful! Unplayable action, no routed bridge. I had to adjust everything to make it playable. Very bad point.

I wouldn't use this one live. The hardware (specially the pick ups look like they will be rusted in a year or less9. The finish looks nice, but I don't think it will last. This is a home-based guitar and for practice. I don't think this guitar will last to anyone playing 4 hours a day 365 days a year. The electronics are poor, the 5-way selector is noisy.

I've been playing for more than 10 years. I also have a Yamaha 120SD, , an X-Pectra electroacoustic, another yamaha classical acoustic, an Ibanez Cimar acoustic and a cheap classical guitar. If stolen or lost, I would just forget about it.
I liked the sunburst finish. I hate the overall quality. I didn't expect a great guitar, just a cheap one for practice. The hardware is real junk. You have to replace everything: pick ups, selector, tone knob, volume knob, bridge, tuners. The guitar doen't deserve the cost of changing everything. Just buy a better guitar next time.
For first timers, it is OK, but frankly there are much better guitars for this price (e.g. Yamaha PAC120SD). Don't buy it just because it says "Fender", IT IS NOT A FENDER it is a really poor copy of a stratocaster. Actually, I would buy it just to make a nice clock with it or as decoration for home (it looks really cool hanged in a wall), but it is not a nice instrument or an inspiring one. I think that tone and reliability is important, in the long run you will feel like you just spend stupidily your money.

The guitar was made in china, 1998 I believe. 22 frets. There is a five way selector switch one tone and one volume control. There are three super cheap single coil pickups. Garbage Trem, no lock. there is a rosewood fretboard. But, hey it was only 129.99

Suits no music. No one should have to start playing on this instrument, but so many do. The guitar sounded like crap. If I select an ok sounding setting on tone/5way selector, there would be a huge BUZZZ. If I set it so it sounds the most horrible, there wasn't as much buzz. Nothing on it that's good. But, hey it's only 129.99

The action was bad, but playable. But pretty bad. Pickups were garbage, super cheap stuff. Everything looked very low quality. The pickups were rusted (brand new out of a new box). Oh yea, and the arctic white finish looked very very cheap. Hey, it's only 129.99

No reliability. I think that it would break within 4months. Everything all around looks super cheap. It looked as if it would last very long. This guitar should be used for practice, and gigs? ha

I think that no one should have to start on this guitar. Try to get something that's not a Squier. Ibanez guitars seem to be the best deal. Strats may get better once you're in the 1000dollar range, but then you can get one hell of an Ibanez! I returned this guitar within a week, because it can't even be considered a real guitar. It sucks. Anyone that likes the strats are stupid. They sound like crap, and low quality construction.
