Squier Review: Double Fat Strat

History:

Purchase: Actually I traded an american Fender strat for a Line 6 Guitar Port and this guitar at a local Guitar Center. This Guitar was almost $200.

What I Like About This Squier Double Fat Strat: The paint job is great, gothic flat black like the les paul gothics. The pickups are even ok for stock.

What I Do NOT Like About The Squier Double Fat Strat: The neck feels way too small for my hands, and every time I go for a huge bend, it feels as though it will snap like a toothpick. The nut is plastic, meaning cheap.

Squier Double Fat Strat Quality Rating: Decent quality and construction for an import.

Review Summary: If I had the chance again, I do not think I would get this guitar again. That is mainly because I have owned an american strat. And the only thing wrong with that guitar was the fretjob and I made the wrong choice (maple fretboard, wanted rosewood). This guitar is great for beginners or budget minded folks, but I doubt any serious guitarist would choose this for main axe.

Rating of this Squier product: 2
