MGR/Deebee « Squier Tom Delonge Stratocaster »
Published on 04/08/03 at 15:00I picked this up close to my home town for $300.00 Canadian. I have always liked Strat's and wanted to to take the plunge without selling the farm.
I like it's light weight. I have a Fender Jazz bass so when I slip this on it's like a fresh breath of air. I love the sustain this guitar has. It sounds great and aside from a few minor adjustments I have had to make I'm quite satisfied. The thing stays in tune for me. I've heard people have had some problems with this. Mine is still new so maybe it's a wear and tear thing. If it becomes a problem I'll just put on a set of better tuners.
The sound is pretty 1-dimensional. Not really a dislike as I knew what I was getting when I bought this.
Seems to be on par for a $300.00 guitar.
Cheaper parts are used when compared to a Fender Standard for sure. But then that's why it's only 60% of the price.
No regrets buying it.
But I do think that next time I'd like something with another pickup at the neck. I'd bet a nice Telecaster pickup there would make this a very versatile guitar. Maybe someday I'll customize it and report back.
Maybe Fender is listening and would make one and ship it to me to demo for them.
