Hi, I recently got back into trying to learn guitar, and this is the one I am going to buy. However I want to know if its fake since I'm wary about buying fake things.

Welcome.

Nobody is going to fake a Squier. Rather, it is the Squiers that are used to fake Fenders.

+1

I always wonder when people ask if their Squier is a fake...

Welcome to the Forum. That's a purdy guitar and I would let it into my house. 8)

That's not always true regarding Squier fakes. While most Squier guitars are not really collector pieces some of the Japanese JV Squier guitars sell at very strong prices. As a result some people have attempted to pass off a lesser model as one of these. I have seen a couple of such cases. Do a search on some of the Japanese Squiers and you will see that they sell for a real premium over the rest of the Squier line. Bottom line, sometimes even Squier guitars are misrepresented.

In the context of the OP's post, the subject guitar is not going to be a fake.

Same model my dad in law got, same markings and all. It's legit! India made. And his plays REAL well, did a set up on it, and it sings!! Had to do some intonation work on his tho, but that is easy to do. enjoy! His was an HSS however.
