i'm sick of hearing hate opinions on squiers...
ok guys what makes a squier less of a fender? (besides the name obviously) i think personally that the quality is most definately there... just because it was promoted into a sub brand a while back doesn't make the squier series (yes i said "squier series" cause i see no diference from the series to the brand, as a matter of fact, i think the series was promoted to a brand) less of a guitar... and if i recall correctly they are made by fender and made with the same care only with lower quality parts... in the end it is just a fender not made in mexico or america with the whole objective of making the guitars more affordable in the end fender has it's quality and care put into these instruments and just cause the parts aren't like in a fender that doesn't make it a knockoff... not everyone has the cash so just knock it off please and remember fender has its name on the headstock of a squier

What wait, is somebody here hating Squier, I mean it is after all Fender product. I think this is the wrong forum for Squier hating, just saying.

No hating. :)

I don't see much, if any, hate, just the admission of the simple fact that they are not the same quality as a Mexi or Am Strat. That is how they keep the price affordable to more people. Frankly, the Squiers are OK, and some are even very good, but they are what they are, a budget model, nothing wrong with that. :idea:

No hate from me...My first good electric guitar was an '87 Squier II Strat. That thing was sweet, just as good quality as any MIM I've ever played. I did play a CV Tele at Guitar Center; I didn't like it so much, but if that was the option I had I would most definitely be happy with it, for the price especially. Don't worry if anyone is hating on Squier, let that be their opinion and enjoy your new guitar when you get it!

You know bro, some people just like to form opinions based on assumptions, a lot have probably never played a Squier and are pre-disposed to hating them.

+1000!

When I think back to my first electric guitar (a Teisco) and how absolutely horrid it was, I think I would've been tickled to death to have owned a Squier Strat instead. For their intended market at their specific price point, they get the job done -- both for FMIC and the customers who purchase them.
