All user reviews for the Squier Standard Stratocaster HSS

This guitar comes from China. 22 frets. Two microphones and a simple double humbecker. 1 volume. 2 tone.
Saddle and rosewood handle button. slecteur 5 positions.

UTILIZATION

The handle end is trs, smooth and enjoyable. For solos and other there is no problem. Nice shape. A bit heavy (but not a les paul). The sound is warm on micro simple and aggressive on the double.

SOUNDS

It is a versatile guitar trs. I play Blues, Rock, Hard and even the Punk! I play on a Marshall 15DFX transistors (simulation lamp).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I'm glad trs. I like: sound, color, shape. I like least: the poidsJ'ai ssay of lag, ibanez, Stagg, Epiphone, Bannet greg, house, esp, but the best. For its price (345 euros), she works miracles! Frankly I love this guitar and I repeat.

UTILIZATION

Channel strato forces, comfort is exellent no problem when it comes to slide boxes into boxes. the sounds of the first, and 3em 5em positions of the selector gniale good little pleased that the strato (but it is not necessary even when not DLIR).
the humbucker sounds best of the three microphones is rev ... stratocaster (a means that it has a trs attack ... juicy!).
good if the ACCS in acute Well it's not bad, it is beautiful trs (I opt for the candy apple red) the plate is black SERIES.
it sounds good trs p'tite correctly but not the ecstasy that is aurra AIM position 2 and 4 gives us ACCS sonnorites other (for it has been aurra MODEL purchase the switch with all of the same 1450)

SOUNDS

I'm not a search of his dirty and if it is because your case is going to require charges efffets but I'm hard it rings of hell (with or without a good amp) is really great it really takes a lot of fun this jouerj'aime guitatre it offers a good range of his trs trs well.

OVERALL OPINION

For its price is nothing to say
one of which tuc m'ennerve against it by the damn head anne 70 is less beautiful and sober than annes50
is not the fender of your rve but not far from the be

Made in Asia (probably ...)
22 Frets.
Pickups 2 Single and 1 Double Micro.
Bridge: Fender apparently ...
3 knobs, one volume and two tones, and a 5-way switch.
Channel Standard Stratocaster at the end ^ ^

Features that will blow up in more than one hehe
I put 9 because nothing is perfect, but for a scratch like this is great!

UTILIZATION

The English Channel is the end, it moves rapidly from the first until the twentieth box quite easily. Access to acute is relatively easy, Mr. Start a normal ^ ^.
It weighs little weight are the bug, but with the full support issues regarding it.
It is also well balanced, standing on the stage play is a real pleasure.
Sound ... yum! This gives a good sound without too much trouble, it's a beginner's view confirmed scratches ... hehe

I put 8 because although it is a Start, it remains a copy (Squier) and what bothers me is the weight, since I'm a small frame ... but otherwise it is top ^ ^

SOUNDS

I play mostly Rock, Blues, Metal see in my delusions ^ ^
My amp is a Laney (I know the reference) is a powerful and well-15W ptit flexible.
I mostly use the humbucker to sound good "heavy" and fat, ideal for rock, heavy, metal and rock solos.
The pickups are clear simple for jazz, blues, and specific.
Good microphones for all styles of music.

I think the pickups can be changed by Duncans ... after ... banzai!

I put 10 because it is a versatile and interesting combination of microphones and sound for beginners and experienced, we s'ennuit not!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three days I have ...
I like its shape, color, and it is not painted red satin, very pretty to look at.
I try a Squier Telecaster, Stratocaster, but the Rock remains the most focused very heavily, I was looking for.

Excellent value for money: 320 euros (pub: Guitar Village Domont) I have not found better!

If I had to do ... mmm .. Of course, yes, I was counseling at all. Guitar evolutionary so fun!

a 9 out of 10! (There is not 9.9 ^ ^)

All been said ... crafted in china ... but unlike the nonsense that often read work is very clean. It's a very nice guitar, well finished, the woods are not those of us versions but for the price c is impec.La mine is a series of 25th anniversary 2004 Metallic gold.
I bought it as an opportunity to see if I liked to play electric and I must admit that I do make progress Enom.

UTILIZATION

Very good round access strat worthy of any form.
the pickups are not great warrior but they respect the fender well.
Nothing to do with us because the strat definition and volume of exit is not comparable, but in comparison to a stratum based Mexican honestly there is no difference. I tried several Mexican before I decide to buy an American Deluxe Start and my squier holds water.
Moreover, despite the purchase of the american deluxe squier I keep the weekend to go on with a guitar who fears nothing

SOUNDS

I play rock, country blues on a Vox Valvetronic 3O watts again no comparison between my us (was € 1700) my squier (€ 345), however, coupled to a pedal Behringer GDI 21 (21 copies tech) that boosts the lack of punch the small pickups squier sounds great and blends in perfectly with a mix

OVERALL OPINION

You understood I love my little squier I think that I would peer over the microphones pechus later because I am a very attanché the first fender. For the beginner it is perfect and second guitar that is not afraid to shock it is divine to € 345 is to hell. (Cort only the finest teams of microphones may overshadow it, but it is not the same price, they are dearer °)

Manufacturing Asia (as the majority of guitars ...)
22 frets (medium, comfortable)
2 single coil pickups + 1 humbucker (chevatet) / alnico
vibrato a knife works well (I'm not Hank Marvin = more ...)
Handle Saddle / rosewood fingerboard
agathis body (a wooden Asia and Oceania)
3 knobs of rglage: 1 audio / 2 tone
for the price (320 euros), the finish has nothing to envy the fender mex.

UTILIZATION

Very enjoyable round
CHAC auxaigus easy (normal is a stratum, the mind is the fender)!
is Legras (not a Les Paul ...)
she spits a lot. I have a branch alesis wildfire 60 amp and a jim dunlop cry baby: the HAPPINESS !!!!!!!!! and again

SOUNDS

It's a good balance guitar, the game is standing aisbr /> everything can be played: acoustic, jazz, blues, rock, grunge and even mtal (long live the humbucker)
sounds nice clean sound, the crunch is super nice
it seems that not worth the squier fender (US ok, mexico mauis I do not agree now too. a few years ago: this was true, but not anymore)
I think the diffrence in price is not justified in be a squier fender mexico and saw the quality of the total)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and it's regal.
any fawn becaufe it is not the guitar you can buy a 2000 it should be done. Finally, it is my opinion: first of all be happy fairte
before buying it, I try cort, lag (that said nice too) but my heart went to Start ...
I would do without this choice hsitation ...
we must say that it's fender and that's it.
Squier, a branded fender?? this guitar vien contradict this saying!

- "Crafted in China" I guess this guitar we come from China, the finish is not provided moinsexemplaire!
-22 Frets (normal!!), Two microphones and a simple room with a volume control and two controls of tonalitées
Here, a simple vibrato (no floyd!) Is more convenient for the change but unfortunately the guitar strings) tend to tune in! I would say that after a while you need to use vibrato and retune a couple of times to get used to the guitar and remains somehow granted! (And yes it's weird but true ^ ^ !)
Channel very cozy with a acces still quite difficult to acute (well that's just my opinion and again I have big hands ^ ^!)

UTILIZATION

Like I said the neck is super comfortable with it unfortunately still acute problem of access to because that's where the handle is screwed!
It is a bit heavy but you get used to, after all that is why she sounds
-The sound is very versatile one passes easily from the blues crunch to a simple micro micro satturé his double (note that play metal is widely as possible ^ ^)

SOUNDS

Tres plyvalente with a multitude of different sounds from the softest to the most violent, well it certainly is not Seymour Duncan opn but found there and the sound is much more than acceptable! This guitar is comparable to more expensive guitar uneautre!

OVERALL OPINION

I have two years and I can not do without! This is my first and so far my only guitar and I love it, the sound is great for a price of 320 euros! She has no weakness on this side, I had the choice between a more expensive and my yamaha strat pa and I do not regret my choice and I would do without hesitation!
If you are looking for a reasonably priced guitar with a good sound for playing blues or the metal this guitar is perfect! As long as you chose the color black metallic you to take home a guitar to class! ! Thank fender

Solidbody Electric Guitar-Shaped Guitars.
Its exact designation is "Black and Chrome Fat Stratocaster ® (Special Edition) 0321703 032-1703 - (506)."
On the head are the logos "Squier by Fender", "Stratocatser", "Standard Series".
On the back of the head, "Designed and backed by Fender", "Crafted in Indonesia".

Agathis body and black lacquer. Maple neck, profile "C", polyurethane varnish. Rosewood, 241 mm radius, in reference points. 22 boxes. Pitch of 648 mm, width at nut 43 mm. Rather thin frets. Head rather "seventies", black.
The next rule is trussrod head. Two guide ropes (strings 1-4).

Vibrato bridge-2 anchor points. Settings for action and intonation separated for 6 strings. Mechanical clutch, unsigned (probably Grover). All hardware is chrome (even the buttons volume / tone).
1-ply plate, mirror, 11 screws.

Two Alnico pickups simple (Channel and Middle). Humbucker in the bridge position.
Standard 5-way switch (Manche, Manche + Medium, Medium, Medium + Bridge, Bridge).
Channel Sutton, Sutton Middle, master volume.

009-042 mounted to the origin. Two tremolo springs.
Curiously, the selector knob and the tip of the stem of vibrato are white, while the entire rest of the guitar is black or silver.

UTILIZATION

This is an extremely versatile guitar, obviously designed more for beginners.
All the characteristics of a Start are there, except the simple micro bridge.
The violin is excellent, and the "set-up" can be easily adjusted. We can adjust the "like old slippers" very easily.
It is very ergonomic. The body is rather heavy (as it should), and the perfect balance.
These are the microphones that are obviously the cost of the "price canon", and, paradoxically, the humbucker is most interesting. It greatly expands the scope of this guitar. A significant imbalance between the volume of the humbucker and single is embarrassing. Is remedied by choosing instead the position "Middle + Bridge" when it returns from the neck pickup, because the intermediate position humbucker is the slightly "out of phase", which the calm a little. Other interesting sounds in the English Channel + Middle position. The sounds of "singles" are only ... those of a guitar to 300 Euros.
It is now mounted in 010-046 and won a lot in the treble, less nasal.

SOUNDS

It's an eclectic guitar ... First for rock, blues, pop ... But the power of the humbucker also helps to saturate a lot of preamps! This is not an EMG ESP +, but it can discover many things.

I played on a Marshall MG 15 DFX (where she does what she can). It sounds ... uh ... Squier as a small Marshall. With a multi-purpose (Zoom 2.1u) it becomes very satisfying.

On a Fender Champion 600 (small 5W All Tube Class A) is bliss.

This is the perfect guitar to drive the multi-effects & other numerical modeling (or if all that matters in the guitar is its ergonomics).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 8 months ago (January 2007).

It is very ergonomic, very versatile, and it is a learning tool without equal.
Above all, she is very beautiful, with its unusual look (mirrors, chrome, black).
It is entirely consistent with the standards of the Start (pitch, run, ergonomics).
Holding agreement is perfectible (nut to redesign?).

I hesitated between a Telecaster (less versatile) and a Lite Ash Start (costs double), or when an Epiphone LP.
The value is excellent.

The version "HSS" ("fat") is preferable to the "SSS".
Rather than change the pickups (it's a musical instrument, not a box of Lego), add it a small multi-effect: this is what she needs.
This choice I would do without hesitation, but perhaps instead to add to it a Marshall and a zoom, I would direct a Vox AD 15 VT (modeling preamp with a lamp) (total budget guitar + amp + jack: 550 Euros approximately).

Guitar factory in Indonsie.
Agathis body, neck stocky, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets.
Pickups: 2 Alnico Single, 1 Humbucker (bridge)
Slecteur micro 5 positions (neck, neck + middle, middle, middle + bridge, bridge)
2 tone knobs, 1 volume

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable, both in form and in touch, it's a rgal to play it. A tiny BMOL, the joint head-neck a bit too Paisse I got, made a little odd to ask derrire thumb, but it's really not much.

CHAC is a bit sharp with boring, because of the heel, but it's a good eh Start, and then the treble, I'm not often

The ergonomics are excellent, the guitar is well lgre balance.

The prsence microphones and single Humbucker can easily obtain a wide range of good sounds. The knobs are especially attractive to the in my case, they are rarely in a position other than "all 10".

SOUNDS

I play a lot of things DIFFERENT, it will rockounet Dad's style of Status Quo or Guns'n'Roses, things really more mchants type Metallica, through the AC / DC, ZZ Top, the Hot Red, Pink Floyd's short, it trs vari ... And she follows! The config pickups + 1 humbucker 2 single gives good versatility, but also a default, it "excels" anywhere. I think the fault of the original microphones honntes but no more. However, APRS replacement humbucker for a Custom SP VerStyle it dj oats much in its "dirty"!

I mainly use a Randall RG50TC with the sole purpose qualo a simple 7-band, and if the lens clean Fender need ironing, you can do many things by plugging the guitar on it, including crunches pretty trs. I also have a Roland Cube 15 for not making too much noise, and if it is not forcment at the Randall, it helps to get good sounds with this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one year is my guitar Premire. I try to play more or less regularly, but still a hobby.

What j'apprcie?
- Ease of play
- The versatility and sound quality (the config is for many microphones)
- The look strata and walnut satin finish that I find trs class (although that is a subjective ^ ^)
What j'apprcie less?
- The trend when curling trs strong attack (just normal at the same time)
- Jack, which tends to dvisser. The problem is now rgl I bought up and another for just a few euros, but even when pnible.

The report seems to me qualitprix trs good. For beginners, this guitar is idalie. Enjoyable to play, versatile, with a nice look.
I do not think I would do this choice, however, playing mostly great big rock, I would take something more relevant and pchu with two humbuckers, type Epiphone Les Paul or SG ... However, for beginners and anyone who wants a good "picture" of what can be done on guitar, this seems to me any Squier says.
