Squier Contemporary Stratocaster HH Floyd Rose Roasted Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar Shell Pink Pearl

I ordered and received from Guitar Center in perfect condition, in tune and no flaws. Every now and then you get a good one. I haven't experienced any of the problems. People have indicated here. 5 stars for the price.

Really had high hopes for this guitar, but I don't think I'll be keeping it. Neck is quite chunky. If you're expecting a typical slim C shape, you're in for a surprise. Not sure why they put such a thick neck on what is essentially a shredder type guitar. Also, the guitar is heavy. Mine is almost nine pounds. I like everything else about the guitar. This was my first floating Floyd Rose and once I got it set up, it was fine and stable. Love the color and the roasted maple neck is smooth with no sharp frets. If you're not put off by a thicker neck and heavy weight, this could be the guitar for you.

Not sure what others are complaining about, quality of mine is fine, on par with Classic Vibe. Neck was beefy, which i dont mind. I appreciate the fast access to tones with 5 way rather than push pulls and toggles. Neck HB, neck single, both series, both parallel, and full HB bridge. So this covers the bases in a solid body HH. I mainly bought this for the tuning stability (Floyd Rose trem seems decent but I blocked it so its fixed). Im enjoying doing normal bends and staying in tune by locking the nut and using the fine tuners. Pickups could be brighter in HB mode but im going to use my low tech solution: 10 band eq pedal rather than worry about swapping out these Alnicos.. And yes the roasted neck may be over-hyped but its definitely a nice perk.

The guitar had potential. I will start with the Pro's: The neck is very smooth and comfortable. The pickups are pretty good. They are hot and full sounding. The main cons relate to the hardware. The Licensed floyd rose is terrible. Mine came with a broken mounting stud. Guitar center fixed it for me. I can get it to stay in tune, but randomly the strings pop out of the saddles. Mostly the high E. The tuners are vintage style and are plastic. The strap buttons pop off easily. The guitar is cheaply made. I do like how squier is stepping up their game, but they need to also step up Q&A. Maybe I got a lemon. They are out of stock so I returned it for an evh wolfgang standard.

Picked it up this morning and was shocked to see that the bridge had what appeared to be sand or other debris in every single nook and crannie. Returned immediately and will reevaluate my guitar needs. Also, the bridge was not set up to match the radius of the fret board, so the two middle strings buzzed.
