Best value: Excellent
Audience: Beginners
Small stratocaster made in china, alder body, maple neck, 21 frets, vintage mechanical that takes it very well, with 3 single pickups with alnico magnets III, 1 volume and 2 tone. A very nice finish with a 2 tone sunburst super. RAS

UTILIZATION

The neck is super very nice to play, but a little too much varnish is a form of stratocumulus with normal access to treble is fairly easy and fairly correct weight when we play we feel empty body vibration ( a good thing) and once connected you get a good sound.

SOUNDS

It suits me very well for my style of music, I play a lot of Clapton, Dire Straits, SRV and Hendrix. It sounds very vintage with his lens. I plugged into my Fender Champ 600, its rings of hell.
All positions comes out well, these micro sound very good (it would seem that
microphones are manufactured in the same factories as toneriders info on the forums). I think changing pickups is not necessary.

OVERALL OPINION

Its been 3 weeks that I have, I am very happy. I tried a classic 50, classic player, Highway One, the price / quality ratio is great, much better than the Fender Mexican when I entered the store was to buy a fender, I asked the try, the salesman told me the test squier.classic vibe and I'm gonna leave with you, at first I thought he was not lol.
After comparison with the classic and the highway, I found what sounded best with a little more vintage sound and playability better than these sister (there are no frets to the key that you skinned the finger).
I would do without hesitation that choice, I think they all think that Squier is good for beginners ... bah trompe.Squier he has to prove he could compete with some fender mexico and us with impeccable finish worthy of a U.S., good microphone, a vintage look has less than 400 euros that you ask for ^ ^.
