The best Squier you can buy
Bought this as a "travelling" guitar: I move around the world for work a lot and wanted something cheap that I wouldn't mind getting damaged or having to abandon. I also wanted a discount Tom DeLonge strat.
And, boi oh boi, what a surprise. This guitar is EXTREMELY fun to play, and it sounds great. The neck finish is the best I've ever held in my hands, it's the most silken satin feel I've ever glided over.
The humbucker does it job very well, and it can even be played on clean with alright results if you dial the volume down on thr guitar.
The neck is also generally very well assembled, no burrs or anything on the frets except on frets 14+, topside only.
Now, the downsides (although most of these apply to any newly bought guitar, really):
- the bottom strap nut came off after one day. Fixed with the toothpicks trick.
- the humbucker needs to be lowered a bit, otherwise all you'll hear is the screeching from bottom three strings
- ALL the screws need to be tightened
- the tuners need tightening too
- the saddles need adjusting for action and tuning (the whole fretboard was buzzing, out of the box)
- the fretboard feels rough and "dry". ILemon oil'd the hell out of it.
- The volume knob is too close to the strings, and spins too loosely, so I keep changing the volume by accident. This is probably the single most annoying con of this guitar.
The upsides:
- Thin body, lightweight.
- Single bridge HB is so fun and sounds fantastic. Easy to swap in an invader or P90, too. And it will force you to adapt your strumming, if you want to get a different sound, rather than using different pickups or tone combinations.
- Great neck.
- Stays in tune incredibly well.
- Easy and fun to play.
- Looks sick!
- Price. Unbelievable.
I'm in love with this. It's instantly become my main guitar.

Super fun mod platform
Out of the box the guitar looked fine to me. First thing i noticed is the neck had sharp fret ends. That was a quick fix with a fine sanding paper.
Tuners feel solid, not upgrading these for now.
Bridge feels solid.
I always search for lightweight guitars and this one with 2,8kg is super comfortable for me
Plugging it in for the first time it sounded okay, maybe a bit harsh.
I allready had my mind set on a humbucker upgrade, and for me that was the whole point to buy this guitar.
Sounds killer now!
