In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
I'm amazed that I am the first to give an opinion on this model.
This guitar has a great reputation as a full range of home Squier Classic Vibe.
It was manufactured in China. is marked above.
Specifications similar to Jap Squier I understand.

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?
21 frets. Type Alnico 5 micro adjusted. It gives her enough Vintage. It's built for the blues-rock.
This is not Texas, but not entry-level microphones either.

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Classical type of bridge, the larger view picture and you will see.

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
Volume and tone for a classic Fender Stratocaster, which for me are useless.
The volume is still at 10 and treble tones at +.
I only use the switch and vibrato.

What kind of stick?
Nothing to say. Nickel. It is the fate of boiboite we play. A setting or two, of course, to adapt.
Change the strings if one is tricky. Me, I put a set of GHS 10-46!
Obviously, the strata have handles real girl next to Les Paul, but I'm used to like that.
The Classic Vibe 60's has a handle in C rosewood fingerboard.
The Classic Vibe 50's has a maple fingerboard (and Alnico 3 = closer to a classic strat least typed)

I put 10/10 because I am a Fendérien and with a model like that, there is nothing to be ashamed. And this look 3-tone Sunburst!

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Yeah! We feel that Fender Squier is not U.S. but that's not bad at all.
The handle is really flexible. I made some progress at the minute I played it.
You know? The sensation that has underfoot!
The neck and headstock are painted. It's beautiful and not n'accorche ca.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
But yes, yes. If you find that no, it's bum-cutaway with a grater!

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
But yes, yes. Oh, the questions! Enlarge photo. Do not leave the eye ... You've seen this look?

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
It is his strong point. But beware: it is typed Blues! More than I thought, as I'm concerned.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
Yes. I wanted something more versatile, but I have another strat entry with GFS Repro 60's

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
V-Amp 2 + + home subwoofer amp HP 12''home. I try to bring stuff style Hotrod

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
In clean, fine. He already sees his caractère.Crunchy is his thing. big distortion is not my thing, but it is much the tide. Serious very serious, well mediums medium, round and warm highs.
Sounds rich and fat, it would limit a little if you scratch overdrive two ropes together.
To tell you more, I know. Go see on You Tube. There is a gas that compares with the 60's and 50's U.S. Standard.

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I like the sounds to Pink Floyd, Satriani and the beautiful sounds Blues-Rock.
I hate the sound of heavy metal scooped, Modern Hi Gain and Rectifier.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
2 months now.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
For me it's the archetype of the guitar blues to SVR

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Lots of other really good, but really more expensive.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
EXCEPTIONAL! That is his forte.
€ 285 at the lowest price on the internet.
Mechanical quality, I doubt. But it may be unfounded.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I would love to compare with the Classic Vibe 50's.
Will be buying one, anyway. For the principle ... But I like the rosewood fingerboard.
Read the forums on this model. Everyone will tell you that the range of Squier Classic Vibe is a killer!
If AC is a Mexican? or U.S. standard? Maybe not, but this one will make me a moment
A tip: buy it eyes closed, she is really typed blues. Need to know ...
