I bought this guitar secondhand for customshopiser without remorse. She had some dj CSWS, I sanded the level o the arm touches the body. In terms of layers of paint we as far as sanding and Varnish hard, translucent red, silver matte red, burgundy, pink, blue, and I am not yet come to the wood! It's amazing and yet there are many successive all these colors on this made in china. The old sries body guitar hello kitty recycled SERIES affinity for? In short, with ponant finger was a guitar that feels the VCU, as if it had been many homeowners kustomisateurs ... on the other hand do not ask this guitar to vibrate with the amp in feedback from ... The wood must be well tuft through all these layers of paint! Damage, APRS site squier, it is alder:

UTILIZATION

The neck is what I got more playable hands up Submitted but I rarely jou on real Fender. Even when the strings are hyper prs of the handle.
I found a good rglage in fixed bridge for dive bombs without dsaccordages, thanks a careful editing of the strings, and trs stable!
For rglage in floating tremolo, I add the graphite in the nut and the strings pass mtal, and the two screws that dserrer dtendent springs. It's long but worth it. I can make a semitone bends on the E string, and a tone on the strings of r and ground by pulling up the hill, where the bridge touches the table. It's too dangerous!
The action be ad demeans the bridge crossing the APRS floating tremolo without consquences on jouabilit.

SOUNDS

As for microphones that's another story. They are less powerful than the single microphone of my peavey telecaster, however, also Chinese. But the sound has nothing to do. It is more in the dj sonoritsdj familires all tubes rock or blues ...
I therefore pass on Fender pickups.
The Tone of potentiomtres are really bad. They are standards but not at all progressive! A small beach at the end of knob is something ... I will replace them with potentiomtres push pull, from the microphones in pairs SERIES, fawn humbucker ...
Customization in mind, I blind cavities with aluminum tape, THE FIRST thing to do on what nimporte guitar! The cavities are not rev smooth ...

OVERALL OPINION

At jouabilit I did not repeat this guitar. A beginners as a musician confirm not feel brid on this Squier. The dsaccordages dtail come from all these small SETTING THE precision that is not known in the guitar beginners! In addition, this vintage bridge is really touchy, and the balance between string tension and spring tension is dlicat find, but worth it!
For n'esprez not do cruncher against a lamp with micro amp home, even with a 5 watt all-tube amp prvu for a, a still relatively clean and clear. As against it is always possible to use boost pedals, overdrive or fuzz cruncher to the amp. Yum!
