Squier Strat Electric Guitar

I purchased my Squier Strat guitar as a package including a Squier 10 watt practice amp, a video and a set of strings for £200 two years ago. Although I am now an experienced guitarists, I have not found the need to purchase another guitar. The neck is thin (like the original stratocastor) which allows the players to “clamp down” and play crisp clear barre chords. The bridge can be adjusted to raise and lengthen the strings ad the guitar features a five position selector switch to vary the sound output. The frets are narrow compared to Gibson guitars which will work as an advantage ... more

Squier produce guitars for Fender while also producing their own versions of quitars. In fact, they make 2 types of guitar. Yuo either have a budget Squier for about 120 quid of a Fender, by Squier for about an extra 50 quid. To be honest, there is not a lot of difference between the 2 and if you want to spend a bit more, you can get much better guitars. Would you like me to explain? Sound. ------ Well, Electric guitars are electric guitars right? Er, Wrong. They all sound different. A Cheap squier sounds like someone strangling an out of tune cat.

I bought my Squire Strat second hand nearly four years ago and it still surprises me to this day. It was £75 part exchange and is cream all over. Since then i've bought three other guitars, but everytime I play it it feels like a more expensive one. The fretboard is niecly wide and spaced for a start, with the action on the strings easy and low. With a five position pickup selector, the tones are nicely different, resulting in a sharp lead tone by the bridge, to a jazz bass-intensive neck tone. The middle selection provides a rich rhythm sound and the spacing of the fretboarsd make barre ... more
