    A great beginners guitar right out of the box!! Some reviews state the frets are a bit sharp but my frets were smooth and easy on my hands.

  • Works out good. Like playing it

    I bought this to have a guitar that stands out and boy does it ever! The only minor issue I have is the metal frets cut my fingers the first time I played it. It sounded great out the box!

    Out of the box the guitar had sharp frets and the intonation needed minor adjustments. String height/action was spot on. Under the pickguard I discovered it is routed for three humbuckers which really makes this a great guitar to mod!

    Guitar has become a new favorite. After intonating, fret polishing and locking tuners the guitar plays as good as it's big brother Fender. I've avoided squires all my life because they have been made in China but I noticed they switched to Indonesia. Quality is night and day. Absolutely a keeper at the price point.

  • Shockingly good!

    I was looking for a cheap HSS strat of some sort to mod. This thing plays great! And stays in tune ok. However I already upgraded the tuners to Gotoh and the pickups to a JB in the bridge and vintage Dimarzio's for the neck and middle, CRL 5-way switch, 500k CTS pots and a vintage Sprague Vitamin Q tone cap. All these parts I already had. The next mod will be a Floyd Rose Rail Tail (narrow). I got the Lime Green one during the Memorial Day sale brand new for dirt cheap. Im really surprised how good the neck and frets are. AND it was in tune and intonated when I got it. Just wow!
