Feature:
Ok, where do I start, tuners are better than on my Mex standard fender strat, or at least as good. Neck,,,,wow!, the fretboard is dead on, and none of that crappy burrs on the frets on the edges with squier affinities, nope, not on this Indian made beauty. the finish on the body cannot be described, AT LEAST as good as american strats, at least. Not just your standard black paint job, this has depth and beauty, a clear coat i believe. Wood, indian red cedar as I said above, think mahogany tone, without quite as much weight,,,pickups, now here we go.....incredible, great lil buggers. Great axe,

Quality:
Best quality I have ever seen from Squier, and need i say it, every bit as good as a Fender American but with better finish, neck, wood and pups to boot! If you look at the strats fender is now making, this one is a copy I would say of the "LONESTAR STRAT" but not made in Ensenada Mexico....this one will beat the burritos out of those strats in my humble opinion. Stuff made in India is top shelf stuff at a bargain price....buy one before they get smart and charge more!

Value:
When you compare the Mexican 'lonestar strat' price to this guitar, you will find it better priced, better made and dare I say it, a better bang for your buck, pocket the difference and buy a combo amp with the change!

Desirability:
This guitar is a beauty, finish is awesome, neck is a fast one and well made with great clear coat which gives it sustain I think, body finish is not just your usual black finish, clear coat over it....hard to describe, gives it depth and classy appeal...this guitar is a classic gorgeous piece of stuff.

Sound:
Without doubt one if not the best HSS strat I have ever played let alone owned. Much, much better quality than the Mexican standard stratocaster I own. I love it too, but this one has legs. Lets start with the sound...ok, the Indian Red Cedar does sound scary,,dont let it get you down. Think Mahogany growl and you have it. this thing is a dream. Best damn sounding strat that you will ever pick up..tone, tons, sustain and then some. Eddie Van Halen would grab up a dozen. Pick one up and dont let the Squier name give you second thoughts. BUY ONE!

Ease of Use:
this guitar has one of the fastest necks I have ever played, age 55 been playing for 47 years now and my first guitar was a 58 candy apple red fender, this plays as well or BETTER....fantastic guitar.

Support:
Have not ever had any problems with my Fenders or my squier strats....no real input at this point from me...sorry.

Overall:
If you are going to own a HSS type guitar within the next five years, dont jack around and wait, you know as I do, corporations are filled with boneheads who dont have a clue what we want, and they will discontinue this and make more cutesy pink kitty guitars if they get the urge. This is a bargain, and if I only bought one guitar for the next five yrs,, I dont think I could find one as good as this one, I have owned quite a few guitars in my life and this is probably one of the very best ones I have ever owned. BUY ONE, you will thank this ole dude. I cannot stress the workmanship, incredible. Think custom shop which sells for hundreds more..........get one now!

Feature:
Just 2 "imbues" key-s for the neck. Nothing more... nothing more is kneaded.

Quality:
It looks like it is have really quality final. The parts are original Fender. Because is nearly same as American style Fender i will say that quality is one of top ratings of this guitar.

Value:
I think for this price I can't find bather guitar. That make my 350 Euro or 450 $ USA good deal.

Sound:
Sounds like a real Fender Stratocaster made in USA! That is almost perfect sound, no any additional "kricks" (bad noises). Really solid sound for my Indian Squire.

Ease of Use:
It is guitar, it is easy for people who know to play on it, and is noise for the others :)

Overall:
Check your self, if you are interesting, in any store they will give you free tour - 10 minutes on this guitar , i think you will love it. And yes, please check it with other Squire, you will see the difference, this is probably the most expensive Squire till now.

Feature:
The neck on this guitar is better than any found on mexican strats or any guitar i've used. It is extra smooth an lacquered. The pickups give great sound, they are duncans.

Quality:
Perfect quality, well put together, great sound.

Value:
For hundreds of dollars less, you get a guitar that in my opinion is better than the mexican standard. Unless you care that it says squier on the headstock, you are looking at quite a bargain.

Desirability:
I took one look at this guitar in a store, picked it up and knew I had to have it. The olympic white is stunning. It feels right in your hands.

Sound:
This sounds exactly like an american standard strat.

Ease of Use:
The action is great, it just feels awesome in your hand. The instant you pick this up you know that this is a real stratocaster and not a watered down squier.

Support:
No support necessary.

Overall:
I will not need another guitar for a long time. I will never get rid of this one no matter how fancy of a new one I get. This is an amazing price, guitar, everything. Don't miss out on this one!

Feature:
This Squier strat guitar ships with only a cardboard box and two allen wrenchs for neck and bridge adjustments. No user manual was provided but not really needed in my case.

Quality:
Workmanship was top notch along with the finish.

Value:
I have owned a Fender 57' Vintage reissue with customized Seymor Duncan Pickups. This Squier Modified Vintage Strat is eqal to or better than that Fender at 1/4 the price.

Desirability:
Classic Strat looks and outstanding finish. It's like owning a vintage hot-rod. It may not appeal to the metallic pointy guitar crowd but it can still play anything they can.

Sound:
Has that classic vintage fender strat straight out of the box. The versatility of this guitar allows all styles of music to be played

Ease of Use:
Like all new guitars and due to personal preferences, string height and intonation need adjustment and the strings were changed to my favorite brand for that Fender sound.

Support:
I can't comment as I have had no problems.

Overall:
This guitar provides all classic strat tone and smooth neck action. It suits my style of music and expertise. My personal taste is a maple fretboard but this particular model only comes with a rosewood fretboard. I would like to see Squier offer maple in the future. Unless you just have to have that Fender logo on the headstock and have an extra 800 to 1000 dollars to burn, buy this guitar, you will love it.
