"Bast Damm Squier Out There Today!"

Feature:
This guitar has a 3 way pup switch,2 sets of volume and tone controls that enable you to set the tone to your liking.I read prior reviews where people were saying that the tone knobs aren't that good,buit you know what? I haven't had any problem with them at all.

Quality:
Here's where I give it a low grade.When I got this in,the action was very high off the neck and the tuners were loose,along with the intonation being off.I believe that this was just made and put in a box until it got shipped off.I tightened the tuners and imput,adjusted the pups,lowered the saddles,and intonated it.Now,it's perfect,and it sounds great.That were the only faults I could find with this guitar.

Value:
I believe that this is the best guitar that is made under the Squier brand today.It sounds awesome,looks great,and is a keeper.I'm a Fender guy at heart,so this is a welcome addition to my arsenal of 6 string weaponry.

Desirability:
It's a Telecaster that emits that 70's vibe.How could you not want it? I do wish that mine was a different color though,like maybe a Sunburst,to go along with my strat.

Sound:
This is the best sounding $200.00 guitar out there today,bar none.I play this through a Americanmade Peavey Studio Pro 112,and I get a nice country twang with it,and when I switch to the distortion channel,it's just plain out gives me that 70's Led Zeppelin/AC/DC tone,that I love so much.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to play,once it's set up properly.It's very playable with no problems at all.This just might be the best guitar that the Squier brand has out there today.But then again,I've always have been a sucker for a good Tele tone.

Support:
Fender has always been very consumer friendly,in my opinion.No problems here.

Overall:
I am keeping this guitar,and have no thoughts at all about getting rid of it.I do believe that it'll last me a lifetime.Then again,I'm a firm believer in taking care of your equipment and not letting it sit there and get all dirty.Take care of your stuff and it'll always be there for you.That's my motto.

"Squier Shmier-Put a piece a tape over the name. It's about sound remember."

Feature:
Out jack dislodged from the guitar after its first tryout at home. I saw entrails coming from it and was disapointed. Fixed it quick though because after giving it my custom set up, I was not about to part with it. I needed to set the truss, action and into. Was way out. Luv the neck and Pickups.

Quality:
The quality is in the parts that are most important. A bit of inspection before leaving the plant(and a new jack design) would really help out the amature.

Value:
Try one through a quality rig and you tell me how much you would pay.

Desirability:
The only thing I don't like about the look is the "Squier" label. But thats just my pride that needs fixing. And some new Pot knobs.

Sound:
Sounds great and melts the tubes in my Mesa nicely. I wouldn'y use it in place of my Les Paul on the metal tunes but man, everything else just drips out of these P90's. Tone and volume control is a bit cheesie but getting the right pots in this puppy would bring it up to a 9.

Ease of Use:
I play Les Pauls. I wanted a lighter warmer tone w/out that strat setup. I got it!

Support:
Don't need any (yet)

Overall:
Try it! LOL!
