All user reviews for the Fender FSR Standard Stratocaster HH

I bought it offof musicians friend's catalouge for $220.00

Due to its cheap price, the Squier Standard Stratocaster is a swet deal. providing fat licks and riffs, this axe is the perfect guitar for begginners and intermediates. What is so great is the high tone sound it wails out on distortion or the mellow sweet chords produced in standard sound modes. This should be everyones first Guitar!

The only Drawback of this unit is the lack of color selection! But, im sure there will be a color to suit just about anyone.

Built by very strict Fender/Squier standards, the Standard Stratocaster is a great piece of craftmanship for the low price point. Featuring a solid mahogany body and rosewood or maple fingerbaords, it is a bauty. All of the colors and paint jobs avalable make it a site to behold. It is a quite beautiful piece of jamming equipment, like all of Fenders products.

The Squier Standard Stratocaster is without any doubt the best peice of begginner equipment out there. andone who plays knows the great deal of craft and work that goes into the amking of this product, and how taht makes it a true musical equipment Gem. A must-have for all begginers!

This was my first guitar and I am very pleased with it. I paid $150 in US dollars for it. (a real steal!) I believe the retail price was $200 and change but I got it on sale.



What I like about the unit is the clear clean tone and the twangy sound.



There are a few things I dislike about this unit. It does not have the rich sounds of an Ibanez or PRS. Sometimes it sounds rather dry.



The contruction is standard of any other Fender/Squier guitar. it has a maple fretboard that feels alittle weak

In summary, this is a good guitar if your just starting off. If you can afford it get a better one.

Fender has always been known for their heavy usage of single coil pickups. Not everybody likes this, and to help appease those, they make HSS and HH guitars. This is the HH version. The guitar features an alder body, a maple neck with a maple fretboard (one piece with a skunk stripe), 21 frets, dot inlays, vintage tremolo, two humbucker pickups, one volume, two tones and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar's biggest flaw was that the nut needed to be refiled slightly. The nut was binding and causing some odd vibrations on the G string. This can be cured in about 5 to 10 minutes with some high quality nut files, so it's not a huge deal. The frets themselves were fairly standard for the Fender Standard series. They were decent, but they're nowhere near the high end guitars like Anderson, Suhr, etc. The neck pocket was nice and tight without any major gaps in it, so no issues there. All in all, fairly solid.

SOUNDS

Every time I picked this up, I couldn't help but think that it was missing something. It lacked that Fender sound due to the lack of singles, and it was almost like it wanted to be more like a Jackson or Charvel guitar. The humbucker in the bridge was average, but it lacked the clarity and punch that I normally go for. The neck was much the same in that it was a bit uninspiring. If I were to install pickups in this, I'd probably look at something in the Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio line up. Both of those companies offer very solid replacements.

OVERALL OPINION

The guitar isn't really a strat, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. If this were a Charvel, I could understand, but it just seems odd for Fender to release a guitar with two humbuckers, in my opinion. I also am a huge fan of singles in the neck and bridge, so that's another thing I'm iffy on. The guitar itself is decent, and some of these blow away the American ones. Be sure to play a ton before buying.

fender is probably the biggest music company in the world when it comes to amp and guitars. They have been played all over the world from beginner learning guitar players to the best professionals in the world. Any guitar who has ever been playing the guitar longer than a few year most likely have picked up owned a Fender Stratocaster at some point.

My very first guitar was Fender Strat but with the standard three single coil operation. I have always wanted Fender Deluxe American made but it seems those are a little too hard to find. And forget about getting one with a Floyd Rose Tremelo in it unless you live in Japan. Fender if you are listening, bring us some American made 2 humbucker Strats over here please. Until that time then I'll just get a Charvel Custom or two.

SOUNDS

My two favorite wood combos are the Alder with Maple and the Alder with Maple and Ebony fret board. This fortunately has the first which is the best wood combination out there. I understand the need and desire for exotic woods and the allure for how beautiful they are, but when it just to straight players guitars needing to rock then there really isn't anything more simple and better than an Alder body and a Maple neck....perhaps a one piece alder body.

The tone from this guitar is very good. It can get beefy with the humbuckers and lighten it up for some single coil action. This is an extremely versatile guitar with the 5 way selector and humbucking and single coil operation.

OVERALL OPINION

I am not a fan of Mexican made products. Japan made is great since the Fender builder over there have to go to luthier school. So this guitar is going to feel a little cheaper made than an American made one will feel like. However, this guitar is going to be about half the price too.

I would recommend this guitar to anyone who doesn't want to spend $1200 on an American fender Deluxe guitar. At new these guitars come in at a round $500. not a bad price for a starter guitar.
