Purchase: I bought a black and white squire strat at my local Musicans Pro Shop in the town i live in. I bought the Squire because i was told its a good beginners guitar. I payed around 170 for it.
Pros: The Squire i found was after all a great beginners guitar. The neck isn't to wide, and its not very hard at all to fret. The guitar itself is a great guitar if your looking for a starter. I wouldnt recommend a squire to someone who has been playing for over a year.
Cons: I really cant find something I dont like about it. Other than the price i payed for it.
Quality: The contruction is pretty simple. 3 pick up bridges 22 frets 6 string guitar.

Review Summary: Its a great guitar for a beginner

Purchase: I bought this guitar 4 years ago in order to fulfil my desire to learn to play. The price was just over $300 for the guitar and a complete care package (soft case, book, small amp, and cable).
Pros: For its price, the Squire Strat is great for beginners. It plays allright. Its price is it's best quality. It can be banged around in a band, without worrying about how much it cost you.
Cons: The guitar doesn't stay in tune, and the string tends to buzz when strummed to hard. The nobs are a bit crackly.
Quality: The design is similar to the Fender Stratocaster. It looks like a "normal" guitar.

Review Summary: This guitar is great if you are just learning or need a cheap guitar for a band. It sounds good for its price and with care can be kept in great condition.
