Best value: Excellent
Made in China of course, but the finisher is very good, especially for the price. The sunburst is beautiful.
Channel typed but modern strat easy to play either position in academic or more blues. 2 micros simple magnet alnicoIII, so typed with vintage sounds-hot-for that go hand in hand.
The mechanical and vibrato are of the vintage. No worries keeping agree.
Volume and tone Start.
So no surprises. To say that the guitar is very well regulated, with an intermediate setting for both the string height, or action Micor vibrato.
So for a Squier is value for money. I put 9 because the strings are shipped home, as usual on a new guitar, and throwing Squier could provide cover even basic.
I almost forgot two little problems finishing: the frets would have deserved a better polishing (I game is enjoyable, however) and the jack tends to loosen.

UTILIZATION

In terms of ergonomics, RAS is a Strato.
The volume and tone controls are effective and progressive. ThE knobs might be a little more flexible.

SOUNDS

For blues, rock etc.., No surprise, is a stratovolcano with all that implies in terms of sound.
I play plugged into a Fender Champion 600 amended, and the sounds obtained sounds really good. We find the crystal-clear and typical stratovolcano with a good overdrive (Benrod Screamer Classic for me) is really the foot. She can play with finesse or her get into it to produce sounds good slammin. She's responding and it is easy to qualify the crunch with the volume knob and / or lead attack.
If one seeks a stratovolcano at the lowest price, it does really well.
So that's positive for both the gameplay for the sounds. A 10-deserved.

OVERALL OPINION

I would do the purchase without any problems, except to compare with a US, but it is not at all the same budget.
So it's all good for the price. You want a Strato and the sounds and spirit (vintage) that go with it but you have a small budget, the Classic Vibe is a solution.
