Given the niche it fills in my collection, I suspect the Mini will remain there until I move on to other gigs and someone inherits it (laughter of the Immortals).
Sound
The sound must be considered in the context of "travel guitars". It sounds almost like a "real" Strat, but packs much more easily!
Features
The Mini is s straight-up, no frills axe. Hardtail, three cheap single-coils. And a whole lot of portability.
Quality
Again, quality must be viewed in the context of cheap guitars. In addition to some real guitars of substantial cost and performance potential, I also own a Lotus "Strat knock-off" that was made somewhere "East of Eden". I've now equipped the Lotus with a full set of Seymour-Duncans...but it still leaves a little something to be desired. The Squier Mini displays much better workmanship: a more nicely finished neck, parts that actually fit the space they're bolted onto, etc. I think I'll be transferring the Seymour Duncans from the Lotus to the Mini in the near future and then giving the Lotus to some deserving kid in the neighborhood to practice chords with.
Value
An excellent travel guitar for $99. This is an outrageously cool value!

The Wow Factor
What could be more sexy than the "Mini Me" of guitars. Plug it in and kick out the jams.
