I have played guitar for over 25 years and owned every style of guitar under the sun. Tried one of these out and was pretty amazed. It has the same good quality of a regular sized squier. Plays nice, and sound damn amazing! Obviously with any new guitar in needs a set up and I think that is the problem most folks starting out do not know and are the cause of their problems. Bottom line if you are a beginer or a full time player, this guitar plays and sounds as good as any full sized squier stratocaster. Perfect for little ones to start on and not become frustrated and great for us grown ups to jam on when something small is needed. Qudos to Fender and Squier for another great product and a void filled.
I bought this for myself to get a shorter length scale. I expected a decent guitar but still pretty much a toy. For the money, or even 4 or 5 times the money, this is crazy good. I changed the strings to 10s for a better sound but that is all. I thought I would have to change a lot of things. Intonation is right one. I had planned on changing pickups but see no reason to. The only thing I will change will be the tuning machines. I like split top Kluson tuners and I am sure they will be smoother to operate. A few screw holes are stripped but a few toothpicks and some white glue fixes that. Honestly, I found more serious things wrong with my Deluxe American made Strat when new then with this. Remember one thing, it is not just a shorter scale, but a neck that is just over 1 1/2" at the nut. It will be a light weight go to guitar to pick up, take anyplace, and not care a lot about what you do to it.
I bought this guitar for my 8 year old nephew because he wanted to learn how to play guitar, and he wanted a guitar to match mine (a Fender American Standard Strat). So, I saved a little bit and got this and a Fender Frontman 15G practice amp for him. The guitar sounds pretty good unplugged, it has a nice natural resonance, plug it up and the pickups sound decent, the pickup selector works ok, and the tone controls are decent. It is a little heavy for a mini guitar, but overall, it is perfect for a child. There are some bad points, though. The stock strings are horrible, I would reccomend getting some d'Addario or Ernie Ball strings. The 6th fret can move out of place and bend, causing your high E to get caught if you bend too far downward. But, all in all, it is perfect for a beginner.
