Squier Review: Stratocaster

History:

Purchase: I got this guitar at Jasper Music in jasper Indiana. I think i payed about 400 bucks for it and a Champ 15 amp that came with the guitar. I got ripped off because this thing is a piece of crap. The reason i am submiting this review is because no one esle should get ripped of with this hunck of crap.

What I Like About This Squier Stratocaster: Ha Ha Ha, like something about a Squier. Who would like something about a Squire?

What I Do NOT Like About The Squier Stratocaster: I dought that they have enough on this web page for me to list all the things i dont like about this guitar, so i'll just keep it short. The pickups buzz louder than a jet engin. The volume knob is preaty much an on/off switch because the volume dosn't change frome 2-9 or so. The tone knobs are basically just there, taking up space because they dont do anything. The pickup switch is just taking up space also because, there is no difference in tonal qualities between the two extemes. This guitar has 3 pickups but only needs one because they dont sound any different. The thing has absolutly no sustane. To play any rock you must keep picking the strings untill your hand falls off. The sound is horrible. A piece on twine tied around both ends of a 2x4 with a microphone duct-taped in the middle would sound better. If you blew hard on the wammy bar it would probably go out of tune. Saurry that was about as short as i could possibly make the list of dislikes

Squier Stratocaster Quality Rating: The constructon is better than the sound but ultimatly crap. If you touch the wammy bar i think it might fall off. I am supprised this thing didn't fall appart as soon as i took it out of the box. I have seen guitars in the toy ile in wallmart that looked more sturdy.

Review Summary: No offense to any Squire owners but you couldn't find a bigger log of crap in a Wallmart restroom. I am subbmitting this review in hopes that knowone else will make the same mistake i did of buying something like this. Trust me just save your money for a little longer and buy a quality guitar that you will be proud of. If there was a choice of giving this guitar a rating of below 1 i would do it.

Rating of this Squier product: 1
