Feature:
Nice neck, nice action, nice and underrated, get over the brand name hype and you will sound like a music warrior.

Quality:
Yes. No problems.

Value:
Worth the money after the above-mentioned mods.

Desirability:
You won't be upset with your investment.

Sound:
Change the pups to a matched set of Duncan 59's. Heaven on Earth, that is all I'm saying. Change the pots to Audio taper 250k and you are set. Use the factory capacitor. Trust me.

Support:
No need.

Overall:
I have played since I was a nine-year old, I am 45, think about what I said, if you can't trust me ask your dad how many 45 year old musicians lie about quality products!!

Feature:
It covers pretty much all the needed features, and it has a wammy bar and stuff so there's really not much more you can ask for. All of the things work well too and you can get a wide range of sounds.

Quality:
Very good quality on everything, the only reason why I gave it a nine and not a ten was because after having it for about 3 weeks the input stopped working, but it was an easy fix and it only costed me $25 and I think it was caused by shipping too.

Value:
Personally I think it should cost more It's such a great guitar and if I wasn't the one who bought it I never would've guessed it was only about $ 250.

Desirability:
It's a beautiful guitar from the second I saw it I knew I wanted it. It looks great and it sounds excellent, so what more can you ask for?

Sound:
It's Great for pretty much all styles of music, it has a really nice clean sound, but it's also really good to play for heavy stuff, grunge, Punk, Metal etc.

Ease of Use:
It can't be any simpler plug it in pick you're tone and start playing.

Support:
when I got my guitar repaired I didn't have it fixed by fender so there's really not much I can say but I'm pretty sure since it is fender you wouldn't have any problems.

Overall:
This guitar even though it is a squire, is about as high quality as a Mexican Strat, and It perfect for everyone begginers and those who have been playing for a long time.

Feature:
The tremolo is a bit crappy, but everything is easily adjusted. Nice sound, but it's kinda heavy.

Quality:
I was a bit dissapointed at the fact that I had a few little gashes in my pickguard. Even with that shipping tape stuff, I still ended up with a few cuts. Might have just been me. Other than that, great craftsmanship.

Value:
I have played a few other Squiers and a few higher-end guitars, and this is definatly worth the money. The sound quality is great. Combined with a good amp, you can pull off a lot of different sounds.

Desirability:
The guitar is very nice looking. The reddish pickguard on the sunburst body looks fantastic. The neck is very smooth and complements the rest of the guitar nicely. I just wish I didn't have that little scrape on the picguard.

Sound:
For a sub-$300 guitar, the sound is simply amazing. Sounds like a more expensive Fender.

Support:
I have yet to call them, but c'mon, it's Fender. How bad can they be?

Overall:
With this, I can safely put my acoustic away, plug this into my amp, and let it rip. This should be my main electric guitar for awhile. There are some good features on the guitar, and the playability is very smooth. My friends recommended it and I'm glad I followed through with my purchase.

Feature:
The guitar is very simple a volume knob, tone knob, a whammy bar, and a switch. The Whammy Bar is really cool and works great.

Quality:
This is a nice guitar that really stands out. For a Squier this is suprisingly high quality. I would replace the strings when you recieve because they are not very high quality.

Value:
This guitar is worth every penny!

Desirability:
This is a super slick guitar and the sunburst is very sharp.

Sound:
This guitar has a sound thats somewhat unique but not unlike no other,

Support:
I can't tell you but I have dealt with Fender before and they were very quick to respond to the problem.

Overall:
This is an awesome guitar for only about $250.00 it is a fierce competitor with other guitars worth twice as much. I would recommend this guitar for anyone looking for a great value or a great guitar.

Feature:
Tuners, vintage trem, other hardware all good.

Quality:
Every thing about construction is nice and tight. have the 3-tone burst finish.

Value:
Typically goes for 249.00 and change. worth it in my opinion.

Desirability:
Own it. HOWEVER always been more of a "Tele" person in general. Main axe is the Squier "Fat" telecaster. but kept the Jagmaster for 2nd user. Will make sounds,textures the "Tele" can't and vice-versa.

Sound:
Now, excellent. Thought I originally had a bad Volume pot. Sent for and installed "Tone-Styler" volume/tone pot duo and, upon installing it, found the ground from the input jack to original Volume knob was NEVER INSTALLED.

Ease of Use:
Short (24"scale) was what originally enticed me to this guitar. Study alot of jazz chord soloing and when/if those 5 fret stretches rear their ugly head, it can't be beat.

Support:
Contacted them re: no ground wire on jack/vol. pot connection. They had not received any other complaints of this nature.

Overall:
Glad I bought it, and continue to use/practice with it. but 2nd of two electrics.

Feature:
I play a jazzmaster professionally and this is a great back up because it includes just about the same controls as a Jazzmaster. The switching is far out dude far out, believe me.

Quality:
Amazing,like a mexican made fender.

Value:
Get it ! You can shred on this

Desirability:
Thers nothing SEXIER than the jaguar body

Sound:
I love the sound you get from this guitar bro[sis],whatever. Its acoustic properties are amazing the sustain is unreal for a squier. The pick ups aren't too hot but it's suppoed to sound like a jaguar and jazzmaster. I Changed the pickups to P-90's [the seymour duncan phat cats] because its more of my style. Its funny how the guy below considers himsel grunge. You know he was in his moms womb when me and dinosaur jr were rocking out with pearl jam. What does he know.?

Ease of Use:
How dumb can you be? plug it in the input and press power to play!

Overall:
Get it, you won't regret it

Feature:
No accessories except tremolo and wrenches, no big deal there.

Quality:
Looks beautiful until closer inspection. Pickgaurd is delaminated and corrosion on frets.

Value:
If I had none of the listed issues with the guitar I would say it's a 10, but I expected the guitar to at least be aesthetically presentable when new, a delaminated pickgaurd and corrosion on the frets don't pass my quality test. It's kind of like buying a brand new car with door dings.

Desirability:
Great shape and feel, love the sunburst finish

Support:
Contacted them regarding pickgaurd and they said they have no idea how soon before I can get a replacement unless I wanted a black one, but they said they are hard to get and may take a long time

Overall:
Kind of wish I bough a telecustom instead or a used Vista series
