    This was my first electric guitar and it is amazing, i had no troubles with it out of the box, and it still holds up. I love this guitar.

    I was pleased with it at first, but I was very frustrated when I didn't know why my guitar was not making any noise I checked my amp, my cable and etc. but after troubleshooting, I figured out that the pick ups went out after 2 day

    I am very happy with this guitar. It feels like a much more expensive guitar, it's a bit heavy but not to heavy. The pickups aren't bad at all. I had to lower the action and give it a little neck relief but I have to set up all my guitars when I buy them since I like very low action.

  • Great guitar for the price

    Tuned easily out of the box. Intonation was spot on. Stays in tune well. Comfortable to play. Basic, simple version of the jazzmaster without the extra rhythm/lead switch and controls.

  • I'm blown away

    Excellent craftsmanship! The neck feels really great. Had no sharp fret ends and the satin finish is top notch. It came with a really nice set up and low action out of the box. Electronics are really decent to. Bridge pickup got a bit muddy with heavy distortion, but did well under a crunch setting. Middle and neck positions were buttery smooth with clear differences in tone. The 3-way switch is excellent quality as well, which is usually isn't the case. Wiring is great, but I opted to switch it out with Emerson wiring harness anyways. Overall, you can't beat this guitar. I bought a Vintera 60s Jazzmaster before this one and I would pick this Squier over the Vintera any day..
