Fender Squier Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar Reviews
Make / Model: Fender Squier Standard Stratocaster
Gear Type: Guitars
Cost / Purchase Detail: I purchased this guitar new from a local music store for $150.
What you like: It has a really nice "strat" sound, comparable to my friends American Strat with Texas Specials. The neck size and shape fits my hands perfectly.
What you don't like: The finish on the ends of the frets were substandard. I have to be careful where I bend, or the high E string will get caught under the edge of the 12th fret. I have also replaced the volume pot, but that goes without saying for any guitar that receives much use.
Construction / Quality: The Galactic Purple finish is outstanding. No cracks, blemishes, or buffer marks. The neck to body pocket is very tight and the neck is rock solid. The sealed tuners work very well, and the guitar stays in tune quite well.
Bottom Line: This guitar is well worth the price I paid for it. It has given me much enjoyment in the last year. If you have to have a strat but don't have a lot of cash, this is the one to get. It plays and sounds better than any of the Mexican Strats I've owned, and is quite a bit cheaper!
Rating: 4 out of 5!
