"bringing an old man back to his youth"
Feature:
3 pickups, wammy bar, and just a comfortable feel to it

Quality:
have found no problems as of yet

Value:
i certainly think so

Desirability:
i have a light blue

Sound:
just a casual/sit at home player. owned a les/paul gibson when i was a teenager about 40+ years ago. am retired now and just wanted something to practice with. went to a music store with the idea of picking up a cheap used guitar and amp and ended up buying a new sqire stratocaster standard guitar and a frontman 15G fender amp. really pleased with purchase and am now teaching myself and my daughter how to play again.

Support:
bought it at Heid Music in Appleton Wi. and he really explained all the details regarding this guitar and offered any help i may need in the future. he even wrote out a number of chord progressions i should try once i become proficient at them

Overall:
for many years to come. at my age i doubt if i'll be replacing it

Squier Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar (Rosewood) Customer Review
Feature:
This guitar top to bottom is solid and looks incredibly sweet for such an affordable price.

Quality:
There was not a single loose part, nick, scratch, dent. Hell, I still have the plastic on the pick guard.

Value:
This is easily one of the best guitar purchases I have ever made after a decade of Fenderphobia.

Desirability:
The end of my Fenderphobia began with the incredible silverburst finish. Pictures simply do not do justice to this guitar. After a half an hour of playing I had to have it.

Sound:
A little thin considering I'm used to humbuckers, a little noisy on single P/U settings. That's to be expected from single coil though. This thing jams through some heavy distortion as well as my other guitars and is the only one with a very distinct tone. Probably why I love it so much.

Overall:
My other guitars have to gone to wayside in the wake of this purchase. The only time I pull out my other guitars is when transcribing (I keep one guitar in Eb) or when recording for textures. Otherwise this is the guitar.
