  Kmi974's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Absolutely to try ..."

  Characteristics

  In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
  
  That series 0 Japan of 1993 or 1994
  
  
  
  What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
  
  Bridge fender six screws (I think) I have not had a rod with vibrato (but usually they're crazy)
  
  Small problem with the high E Mechanical she kidding but if not that the others hold very well agree.
  
  What kind of stick?
  
  C-profile maple neck
  
  
  
  How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration? 21 frets
  
  3 micros simple but it's not the original ones, fender or squier??
  
  In any case it sounds =)
  
  
  
  What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
  
  5 position selector volume two tones (one for the neck pickup and one for the central) bridge pickup has no tone is what seems normal ...
  
  
  
  Mine resseble than david gilmour ...

  Utilization

  The handle is it nice?
  
  Ultra comfortable I would say it has not changed one bit in 18 years is pretty impressive ...
  
  
  
  Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
  
  The alder body is a bit heavy, but meaningless (seated or standing) in it by it's very well balanced.
  
  
  
  Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
  
  is not made for shred is obvious, but it's pretty easy to access;)
  
  
  
  Do you get a good sound easy? ...
  
  I tested it on a fender frontman 15g and it sounded very well already, and a tube amp is ecstasy ...

  Sounds

  Are they suitable for your style of music?
  
  I play a lot of rock 60 and 70 years, it suits me very well.
  
  
  
  What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
  
  All background generally seen as the volume knob must be non-progressive at 8 to hear the guitar really clean channel. At different positions well it sounds like a Start, American can not be, but already a good Start ...
  
  
  
  What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
  
  All positions are well except that the bridge pickup lacks a bit of fishing is a pity, I may be a change for a hot track days.

  Overall Opinion

  I've had it three days, I had previously tried another one Squier Stratocaster Arctic White 2 or 3 months before and it has been the trigger, you must not underestimate this set of instruments, some they poorly maintained over time, I think quite the opposite it gets better with time like wine ;-)
  
  I paid 300 € may be that this is a bit expensive, but I do not regret ... I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap strat correct, try one you will not regret it I think ...

  Nikko_'s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is a Squier Stratocaster by fender made in japan, numro serial starting with Q MODEL 1993 standard.
  
  
  
  is a typical stratocaster, alder body, neck Saddle 21 boxes, rosewood fingerboard for my MODEL, 3 micros simple, a 5-way switch, one volume, two tone, vibrato vintage 6 screw.
  
  
  
  brief comfort level is typical, comfortable, good access to acute, muzzle well located, not trs heavy, short of happiness.

  Utilization

  The handle is enjoyable, profile D, frets mdium short, good comfort even for small hands is fine as there's more on some sleeves ibanez, but OK.
  
  
  
  the finish is correct trs, trs guitar has aged well, the pickguard is colored crme, the selector and the knobs do not crachottent.
  
  
  
  His level, what a deal?
  
  
  
  Fully Strato is my home, the pickups have a trs good sound, the sound is typical and has nothing to envy the big sister fender.
  
  
  
  for more sound, I have two mini switches in order to have three microphones at the same time and the neck pickup and bridge together, which gives TRS sounds interesting!
  
  
  
  deuxime the switch allows me to create a position humbucker (neck / middle and middle / bridge), which gives a true humbucker sound (thank you reversed the polarity of the micro environment), these two positions give her a fat not dsagrable especially with distortion!
  
  
  
  short my squier can play everything now thanks to these nine positions!

  Sounds

  I play everything from blues, rock mtal view of a stratovolcano is one more guitar for blues and rock will say it is clear, but with my changes I can play anything!
  
  
  
  in short it has become even more polyvalente.les squier made in japan 90s are often criticized, but honntement I think the words are false, they are good strats trs, much better than Squiers are current dj not bad for some.

  Overall Opinion

  I had several dj strato (squier, fender, see copy more or less Russia), I've had four months, I would not part with it!
  
  is a real stratocaster in the strict sense of the word!
  
  it is really typical, microphones may be a less chouilla prcis honntement but it's practically inaudible to be less than the purist who has a fender guitar 2000
  
  in short a good buy opportunity, I advise you!

  zbouab's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Squier by Fender Stratocaster purchased in 1992 made in Japan.
  
  21 frets, 3 single pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone, a selector.
  
  The mcaniques for me are correct and fairly reflect the relatively good agreement.
  
  Vintage vibrato does not request any of the same too.
  
  Black varnished indmodable.
  
  8 of 10 for the vibrato

  Utilization

  The handle is trs enjoyable play: rather thin, fast, glides well, varnishes enjoyable.
  
  Regarding the sound, After a few SETTING THE height of micro, you get a sound worthy of the greatest ... I return below.

  Sounds

  I play mostly blues-rock. And it gives me the guitar perfect clean sounds excellent position serious, aggressive as it should on the micro acute. Plugs into a Fender, all the blues crunch clearer than is possible. Frank Marvin, Ike Turner, Hendrix ...
  
  In a saturated Marshmall is enough thundering as it does not feel like playing a guitar on "cheap" (I also have a Les Paul ...): trs good offense, his incisive and prcis. I spend Nirvana Hank Marvin and David Gilmour to the Beatles without worry ...!
  
  In short, all good.
  
  Mention specially the microphone that sounds serious trs "hendrixien" with a good crunch Marshall

  Overall Opinion

  It's been 15 years (and YES!) That I use and it has aged well trs trs. (A few cracks on the mic selector, change and fret wear (normal))) I can not do without. for testing squier strato 'rcentes, I can say that mine is the best!
  
  My Start has aged well despite trs concerts, heat, smoke, humidity ...
  
  The sound is amazing for me for this price range. In the era, I'd pay about 1800 Frs. Branch alternately on a JCM 900 or a Fender Bluesbreaker, the sound is absolumment unique and worthy of a real Fender strato made in ... No need for effects or anything, fingers do the rest ...
  
  She is now on it all these years: scratches, paint worn, cut ... But it is all the better!
  
  In short, I do it again this choice without hsiter. I spent good years with her, and this will continue!

  Xavier Belmoufles's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  21 frets, three pickups Squier S / S / S
  
  Vintage vibrato
  
  1 volume - 2 tone - 5-way switch
  
  Bolt Profile C
  
  
  
  Simple and effective, I will further down the microphones.
  
  Note that I got the rasp in a closet at my brother in Spain there are now 7 years old and has never left me ...

  Utilization

  The handle is not terrible terrible but I learned to play alone on this and I was scratching elements of comparison rather late so that I'm used to playing on it and it does me no problem even in the heel that has the format of a cul de Boss ...
  
  The lifts are a nightmare and the bridges of the bridge deviate quite easily ...

  Sounds

  At the risk of repeating myself it's the only guitar that I know thoroughly, and I'm satisfied for 6 years, and I always play with as much pleasure. is the stratum of the poor, but in playing the guitar apart, it was never plugged into anything other than a small 10w marshall MG.
  
  Quickly at the sound, I use only the positions 2 and 4 of the selector with the tone cut or it will buzz. On this setting the sound is velvety, let alone a bass amp. clean sounds are very fat in the mind strat, but let's stay on earth. In full, the microphones starved attack. go your way, 666 friends ...
  
  
  
  I put 8 for clean sounds and the intermediate positions
  
  Note that when I got this guitar, the middle pickup was disconnected. -> Soldering iron powaaaa

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 6 years and I will keep the dns as it is on this that I had scratched my first benchmarks. I love the clean sounds and crunch it out and I remedied the lack of microphones in saturation attacks by Big Muff MXR + Dynacomp. We gain in precision without falling into the too sharp.
  
  I started on this guitar squier by chance (I have also no idea of ​​the price new, I can sell it € 1 I will do a profit ;-))
  
  Now I will like to have some fun on it (read a config switch to H / S / H, the trapping of the body allows it, and change the hardware) Why not directly a new guitar? It's been a while but I think for now I not find my happiness.
  
  With experience, if I found this guitar again abandoned in the closet of the laundry room of my brother in Valencia, yes, I will ask him if I can pick up ...

  iolco51's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Squier by Fender Stratocaster made in Japan from 1993 to 1994.
  
  21 frets, 3 single pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone, a selector. Start a norrmale what.
  
  
  
  Mechanical not terrible, and a vintage vibrato shit. I added springs to the bridge still has his position, and I handed the rod of vibrato in a corner without ever emerge.
  
  
  
  Very elegant cream color.
  
  
  
  Note 8, 9 if I put the mechanics had been better.

  Utilization

  Nice round asses, guitar heavy enough (less than my other guitars, but the new Fender Squier or Mexico).
  
  
  
  Good ergonomics no complaints. The sound is OK, I think that the microphones should be changed.

  Sounds

  So we reach the highlight of the guitar.
  
  
  
  For me, it has everything from a fender stratocaster United States with the exception of:
  
  - Low-end mechanical
  
  - Low-end microphones
  
  - Electronics unreliable (I do not know what it's worth in fender)
  
  
  
  Change and you will have a real Strat crazy for one low price.
  
  
  
  I do not use more, but I used to play rock / hard rock.

  Overall Opinion

  I have 11 years, this is my first guitar. I wanted a stratovolcano, I was not aware of the case which I did.
  
  
  
  Excellent value for money, that does damage over such a guitar this price ...
  
  Forget on the new Squier, they are good for pubelle, fender and Mexico does not equal much more.
  
  
  
  I would do this choice with his eyes closed.

  Lonewolf's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Well this is not the opinion I had left in the CATEGORY Squier Standard Stratocaster, but brought up to date and in the right quatgorie, because otherwise, the old dcidment Squier and new is not the same thing.
  
  
  
  So this is about Squier Japan, so a guitar produces between beginners / mid-80s to mid 90s (from memory, but if I dtrompez is not quite right (a year or two), <82 Squier Mexican manufacturing, 82 <96 Squier Japonnaise manufacturing,> 96 Squier manufacture PCs), mine as 93 (the letter P SN )
  
  
  
  It's a Start, so nothing really rvolutionnaire, Alder body, Bolt on Maple with maple fingerboard (one pice with the handle)
  
  Three single coil pickups (inconue brand, but probably low-end Fender)
  
  Vintage vibrato bridge type, and MCAS has grease (a good horror combined these two gears l)
  
  
  
  A note at the finish as if the varnish and the appearance of the Saddle of the handle is quite acceptable (more than the current since the mine after 12 years is not damaged (yes j 'takes care gougniafiers band), a micro plate ply allgrement gondola (I'll have to think a March 1 plys on the occasion).
  
  
  
  In short, 12 years, she subba heat, cold, cover for 4 years and I stopped playing, and by the selector who passed away after two years, nothing to report I hate not to see me in 10 years today

  Utilization

  Ben is a stratum, so it tration which is better ...
  
  Hey! be too much when the same, a big handle C is not screwed the handle of a Jackson Soloist, more bomb key to love and I never fond of t thing is by far the most dsagrable my guitar to play (I mean the right of the handle Heiniger!), but the whole is a matter of taste.
  
  
  
  Otherwise the level required to agree, we forget quickly to stem the vibrato and it takes too much and bends its will.
  
  
  
  The position of the pots must love the mic volume just under the bridge is not forcment what is the best ... gotl history yet.
  
  
  
  Weight level, again nothing to do with the current, it is heavier, but less than my other guitars, however.

  Sounds

  Okay so the sound, a sound ... Start, what do you want me to tell you, I like the neck pickup sounds clear, it plutt round while remaining thin enough, it was elsewhere as I use the most often, if it is for me a tite recovery Nirvana Offspring PERIOD beginners or 90's with a large OD, the rest is going on, no big distos, blues ... Yeah -> Gibson, Funk ... What is a uh

  Overall Opinion

  If you put in your Premire 250/300 scratch and you really want a Fender Stratocaster Made in, forget Squier Core and set out to research a better Japonnaise or a Mexican.
  
  
  
  I keep mine is sentimental, but by making the front end tloche, well I do not use mass

  R=1's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Fender Squier Stratocaster Made in Japan
  
  21 frets, 3 single pickups (like the Stratocaster)
  
  
  
  3 knobs: 1 VOLUME, TONE, and two, plus the 5-position pickups selector
  
  Channel CHARACTERISTICS Fender Stratocaster.
  
  
  
  It's an official Fender Stratocaster is - that it takes advantage of the architecture of the guitar legend. It is manufactured in Japan for the price o by Squier (Fender sub-brand).
  
  So, objectively, it's almost perfect.

  Utilization

  Fender Channel: Gnial so. (Not flat like the low-end guitars)
  
  Rear View is the Fender Stratocaster of David Gilmour, it is especially perfect for this race.
  
  
  
  Use level is much idalie guitar for beginners (easy to quickly get out of pretty sound) that for any guitar confirm (a range of sounds discovering little by little, and sound ... solo hummmmmm)
  
  
  
  Ergonomics mange any Fender Stratocaster, guitar among the most lgres.

  Sounds

  The principle of Strato's doubled his versatility typ.
  
  So you can play everything except the big o big mtal really heavy microphones may be simple be a little LGERS.
  
  but otherwise ...
  
  
  
  I play with a Marshall 40 W 30 (sisi!!) A BOSS SD-2 pedals, and also a long essay Wha-Wha, Zvex Fuzz Factory and (a friend).
  
  
  
  This guitar is a guitar-qualifiable Camlon.
  
  
  
  The quality of sound is irrprochable. It is worthy of its name.
  
  
  
  This is the highlight of the guitar, the price compares the quality of sound!
  
  For its quality Legrant suprieure on Fender Stratocaster Standard, the price is almost mutiple by 10!
  
  
  
  More compared with the latest issue Squier Strat-only for beginners it is far above his level.

  Overall Opinion

  I have this guitar for 2 years.
  
  She hyper-versatile, and the quality of the guitar is near the trs Standard Fender Stratocaster.
  
  So the best qualitprix the march.
  
  
  
  Also compare with other Squier (mainly Squier Start) is well above the lot. It has nothing do with the Squier made in Korea or something o. Warning!
  
  
  
  This is a great guitar with a low price.
  
  3 choices Stratocaster:
  
  * Low-end Squier Strat-specially-beginners 200-250
  
  * Fender Squier Stratocaster, quality close to the Fender Stratocaster Standard: 250-300 (quality comparable to Start Mex)
  
  * Fender Stratocaster Standard US, the must: 1000-2000
  
  The choice is yours ...
  
  
  
  Thank you for Fender made in Japan, everyone can have a rock star for a minimum budget
  
  
  
  The best choice instrumental in my life. Nothing wrong
