MGR/Andrey Todorov « Squier 20th Anniversary Strat »
Published on 04/03/04 at 14:00I bought it for about 150$ from ProMusic in Sofia, Bulgaria. I was looking for a good starter guitar and this lokked like a good deal.
It has a very nice smooth neck. It stays in tune for a long time with Ernie Ball stings(but not with the oriiginal Fender bullet ended stings, which are suposed to be the ideal strings for their tremolo bridges!)
The pickups are noisy and the neck and middle pickups are useles as they sound very bad and only add more weight to the guitar. The volume conrol is in a very bad position just inder the bridge pickup and it is very easy to turn it accidently if you are playng or palm muting on the first string. The two tone controls are not easily accessible as the tremolo arm is in the way. The guitar has onli 21 frets and the the last two are not very easy to access. It doesn have a Floyd Rose tremolo and it has no Hummbuckers.
It was built in China. It has a nice finnish. The overall quality is good but it can be way better. The pickups have a nasty cheap look.
If I only understood more about guitars i would have never bought it. If you are looking for a starter guitar DO NOT BUY THIS. Get some second hand guitar and save some more money and when you learn to play the thing you can get e very nice Jackson for about 450$.
