Mini Me

I originally bought this guitar for my daughter to learn on, but I spend more time playing it than she does. It's a real bargain for the price. This really is a mini Strat, but you don't have to be a midget to play it. It fits my 7 year old perfectly, and I can play it too. It's small enough for little hands, but spaced out properly for larger hands. I haven't had to alter this guitar in any way, but I have considered changing the pickups. Fortunately, they are regular sized, unlike the rest of the mini's parts. This instrument would be great for Teaching your kid to play, travelling, or playing out if you like the short scale! It would even be fun for playing in the passenger seat on road trips.

An excellent little guitar!

I bought three of these for my kids and I'm thinking about buying one more for myself. I currently own four full-sized Stratocasters, but it would be nice to have one of these at work, just to noodle around with at lunchtime. It is smaller than a normal Stratocaster, both in body and neck, so if you have big hands, it may be difficult to play, but my hands are medium-sized and I can adapt very easily to the narrower, slimmer neck. The pickups are "just okay" quality, but they are standard sized, so you can replace them with better pickups if you choose. I've replaced all my Strat's pickups with hum-free single-coils and you might want to do that too if you intend on recording with this guitar, but for live play with a distortion, the stock pickups are fine. Squier quality has been improving steadily over the years and this guitar is well-constructed. It has a hard tail bridge, which I wish I had on my 4 full-sized Stratocasters... I just don't use the trem. I would recommend this guitar for kids and as a travel guitar for anyone with medium-to-small hands.

Not Bad, Not Good

Got this for free as a part of a promotion, and as a starting guitar not a bad li'l thing. It does keep tuning really well for quite long if you spend the time to properly adjust the bridge right, but the frets definitely bring down the quality. First, the strings it comes with are pretty bad, so I'd just straight off replace them with a different brand. Second, the frets have many problems with intonation. You could have perfect tuning, yet still not sound right when playing anything other than an open string. I will vouch that it's very durable, and can stand up to any beating you throw at it, and the triple pickups are a great bonus for such a cheap guitar.

Great little guitar

I recently went looking for a 3/4 scale guitar for my son and daughter to share and learn on. I felt that a 3/4 scale would keep them from getting frustrated by their limited reach on thier growing hands. I found the squire mini and was impressed enough to buy two of them (one in each color. For the money, why not?). I owned a Stat Elite years ago and loved it. This guitar really feels like my old Fender did. My kids feel like rock stars as they learn to play and I have to admit, I spend a good deal of time on these guitars as well. The only down side is that it is difficult to keep in tune although I am sure that this is partly due to new strings. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to get their kids playing on what is definitely one of the coolest student guitars out there.

Great for the kids

This guitar is great for getting your kids started on guitar. It is cheap, plays well, and looks cool. This guitar is very easy to play and is great for learning on.
