"Super Bang for the Buck!"

Feature:
Has controls, a tone and volume, for each pickup. In the middle switch position, you can mix tone and volume for many different tones, like a Les Paul.

Quality:
Mine was made in Indonesia, and it seems solid as a rock. Pickguard isn't well detailed, but overall still well done. Tuners and bridge are adequate.

Value:
A bargain. One of the best bang for the buck guitars I've seen.

Sound:
It sounds great, which is amazing for this price. Warmer and woodier than a regular Tele, even an American or Mexican made. To me, it's more versatile--a great blues, rock and even jazz solidbody. Great bang for the buck. Overall it compares to much more expensive guitars, unless you are a snob. Just take off the Squire label if it bothers you.

Ease of Use:
Easy to get good tones, which to me is more important than "playability". However, it plays fine--take it out of the box and it's ready. I use Ernie Ball Hybrid strings, 9 to 46 and it really sings. Most my other guitars, I use 10's but this set seems to really fit.

Support:
Haven't dealt with them in a few years, but they were helpful then.

Overall:
It seems tough enough. I'm a weekend warrior for more than 35 years. If you get over reverse snob appeal, it is a workhorse guitar. Maybe down the road the tuners and bridge pieces might be replaced, but they are adequate now.

"p-90's are go!"

Feature:
pretty ok features. two volume and two treble knobs. work fine, though i don't use them much. the pickguard however is a bit dodgy and bulgy.

Quality:
pickguard is dodgy. the turn-knobs feel cheap. the paint a bit thin and not to even. everything else is great and, well, these are mostly cosmetic problems.

Value:
fantastic value for money!!! i usually play a gibson les paul vintage guitar but since it's so old i prefer not to use it on stage. this was bought as a temp until something better came up, but i am definitely not swapping the tele custom 2 in anymore. in fact the les paul is resting in the closet and has been since my new affair came in the door ;-)

Desirability:
it looks awesome! and is original for squier, fender has never made such a model (to my knowledge, anyway)AND I DIG THE P-90'S!!!!!!!!!

Sound:
great p90's sound, there is a hum though.

Ease of Use:
after setting it up myself it really works well. it takes some time since the wood seems to be working for a while after you buy it, but it settles down and becomes much more stable.

Support:
no idea. i usually don't use support since i like to fix the problems myself.

Overall:
great sound and playability - some cheap solutions on the not so important stuff. i don't give a damn - it's one of the best guitars i ever played in my life!
