MGR/david vuahgan-hirsch « Squier strat »
Published on 01/16/03 at 15:00i bought the guitar at andertons in guildford about a year ago. i thought it would be a good priced, quality strat copy. i was wrong! it was £200 quid in a pack with the 10 watt amp and loads of other stuff. its all cheap rubbish.
er....well i guess it was an introduction to guitar for me. LOL oh yer and soon i'm gonna flog it for as much as possible to finance a little trip to fendersville via a REAL strat. ha ha! and i guess if u can play well on this THING then once you grow tired of riffing the wreck you can upgrade and you'll play real well on ya new guitar. MAN i hate squier lol.
like all cheap guitars,the tone seems to lack any depth. there is a very low output from the pickups which sounds absolutely nothing like a classic real strat with bluesy, rocky, gnarly, good tone.
its made in china and it shows. if the tone kills it then the construction nails the coffin shut. the wood these things are made out of - unless its like, fake wood, mdf or something - would be better off on the trees. after a few months of very undemanding use (i looked after it all well) the lead broke, the strap snapped and the bag strap broke. useless!!!!
if you're in the mafia and you need to get rid of 200 quid before the cops get ya, then buy this guitar. otherwise, dont even think about it. better off with an ibanez gio or whatever they're called - ANYTHING but this. the squier strat belongs in my room 101 along with boybands and osama bin laden.
