Review: With a little setup, this plays well. - I was looking for an inexpensive Strat style electric and this was it. It plays well, stays in tune ok & sounds pretty good. It's made in Indonesia, hence why they're inexpensive since labor is more expensive here in the U.S. or Mexico even. If you're looking to get into playing an electric, this will get you started because it comes with pretty much everything you need to get going. The AMP is pretty nice & for being a 15W amp it sure fills the room pretty good. The only thing I've notice that I'd change is that I wished they had used better pots on it. It seems there isn't much to them until you get beyond ½ way on the dials. If I decide to put some $ into it to bump it up a bit I'll end up changing them put & upgrade the pickups; not that the pickups are horrible because they're not. The finish is pretty nice too. I've seen complaints that either the finish or the pick guard was scratched. I'm wondering if they realize that there is a pretty stubborn to peel plastic protective sheet over not just the pickups but the whole front of the body to guard against scratches before it arrives to them. I say this because when I unboxed mine you could see small scratches and blemishes, but once I removed the protective sheet it really popped & looked nice.
Review: Great first guitar set - Great guitar set. Good sound. Pretty guitar. Great first guitar set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what size pick guard should i get?**
A: Most Fender's do not need a pick guard. All the electronics are pre-installed in that plastic piece. You could upgrade the guitar by purchasing pre-assembled pieces like if you wanted to use EMG or Seymour Duncan branded pickups, simply get the whole electronic unit and just replace the factory one. no wiring no fuss. :)

**Q: Does this guitar come with a soft case?**
A: No

**Q: DCan you tighten the tuners with a screw driveroes it come with a case?**
A: Yes, but you also a adjustable wrench, or nutdriver to complete adjustable of tuners on your guitar.

**Q: Why does amazon say these are made in indonesia when they're actually made in china? photos & specs say made in indonesia. this is misleading**
A: "Fender" Squiers can be made in China or Indonesia. I own both, and both are equal quality. Some of the China mades are actually made in Taiwan, including their top of the line models (classic vibes) and some Affinity models. 
Even some actual Fender models are made in China, but no current models

*by K***I on December 4, 2022*

This Squire is surprisingly excellent!! I've owned & owe other Strats in the past including a Epi LP (which I still have and enjoy), but this very inexpensive guitar is better than I honestly thought it would be. I had my expectations low for such a low cost guitar, but after viewing some YouTube vids and the current discount cost (Black Friday deals etc.), I figure I'd give it a try and after doing my own set up on it (which wasn't much from the factory settings), this this is fantastic for what it is. Pros: - Neck is super easy to play on; not too chunky, (the slim "C"-shape is perfect). - Frets were spot on with no sharp ends or frets that needed smoothing. - Tuners were fine and don't see any need to replace them anytime soon. - Bridge was made well and easy to set the intonation (which wasn't off on mine) and set the action (which was a little high for my tastes). Also the bridge on this one is a 2 point and not 6 screw (great upgrade from the older ones). I also set my bridge flush to the body as well. - Body is light and yes it's thinner than normal strat body's, but totally ok for its sounds and price point. - Pickups are a little hot as to be expected, but work just fine (an upgrade to Alnico's later on will be better. however no rush). It's also excellent you get a tone adjustment knob for the bridge pickup. - Overall fit and finish are excellent, truly more than I expect on a Squire and guitar at this price point. - Great guitar to mod on later if needed. Cons: (being nit-picky) - Pickup selector is a cheaper 5-way switch, but that can be easily replace with a better one later on if really needed. - Sure, change the strings to something better. - Poplar body lacks the warmth of other woods of course, but I honestly have no issues, however some might not care for this brighter and lighter type wood. It's not my Epi LP with a Mahogany body, but this Strat is super light and easy to carry around.
