All user reviews for the Squier Standard Stratocaster

Mine is a very particular model of 1990 and t he made in USA very rare and therefore has some quivalant fender. it has 3 single microphones 2 adjustment of tonality and a master volume. it has a maple neck with rosewood fretboard 21 frets.

USE

The handle is very pleasant and is varnished so very convenient for slide. access to the treble is pretty good and the weight of the whole is very correct. the sound is excellent but fo that it was not the same on the new (moin good after me)

SONORITS

Perfect for rock blues metal quiet. I play with a Marshall MG30DFX the couple very well. all his sound good except very large distortion.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I tried a few other models mostly telecaster and stratocaster and I must say it is has good height and TV fender strat that costs all of even much more expensive.
I use it for about 5 years and is gnial for its price range even if it is more than a new one today (it is about 700 euro because it is very rare) with the experience I do not know if I would do this choice, but what is certain is that I never venderais.

- Manufacturing Japan, it must date from 1994 (Logo on the handle: Fender Squier big and small) around but has hardly been used by the previous owner. This is a Black Cherry Burst model I think (see attached photo found on the net) because I have not found it to AF.
- It is equipped with Floyd Rose II bridge that takes pretty good deal.
- The handle must be maple rosewood fingerboard. - The microphone set has been changed by a set EMG Steve Lukather it a little more modern guitar again.
- It has a 5-way switch, volume knob and a tone, which is not like the standard strats but it suits me very well.
- She has a gorgeous color that I love (see photo that is not mine, but it gives an idea)

UTILIZATION

- The neck is thin enough properly set it is very enjoyable to play, the finish is very good, no finished abnormally fret. Ergonomics is that of a standard strat, no more or less with the same access to acute.
- In tone with the EMG audio becomes slightly more crystalline, more acute in some cases too.

SOUNDS

Position 1: we have a good slamming his strat with a serious touch / midrange higher position 2. Position 2: we recover the typical sound and clear. Position 3: a more medium but used in some cases.
Position 3: I rarely use and I must say that I miss when looking fairly sound "country" (which may have on SSS models). Position 5: So the humbucker (EMG85) AC-blowing what to with mild or heavy distortion / saturation, compression as it should and little buzz.
I play on a rack eleven connected to an amp and cabinet Rocktron Velocity EVM12L.

OVERALL OPINION

This makes it a very versatile guitar but sounds closer to a Stratocaster anyway, making it a "super" strat! It may be less comfortable in his 60 'but is doing anyway with honors. It's not a guitar to 2000 euros but will do in 90% of cases. This is a good quality / price ratio nothing to do with what is happening now. I repeat that choice of course!

Being a fan of Billy Talent and guitarist Ian D'sa, I got it into his head to me a guitar made in the colors of his guitar.

As already possessor of two Squier (Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster Squier and standard precision bass special), I left the closed eyes on this brand.

So I dug LA gem: a whole body Squier Standard Strat 'black metallic + handle Mexican telecaster with mechanical ......... for € 30! They are people who do not know the value of their property!

I changed all the electronics for the fender us (knobs, selector) for forty euros.

I changed the bridge pickup to a DiMarzio DP226 Hotrail, bought € 40 Cygnus' instead of 100 € new.

I changed the 3-ply pickguard for a fender 11 holes (20 € OCCAZ ')

I missed to finish the plate and behind the plate with the handle screw (20 € on the internet)

UTILIZATION

I would not be very objective about the handle because I was not in possession of the original ... When the handle fender mex ... a highway once properly adjusted and impeccable finishes.

On the body, budget requires, we're on the agathis ... or "wooden crate" as some say. The body is very light hand (the only highlight of the agathis), the shape is very ergonomic knockouts thanks to the stomach and right arm (compared to telecaster who have no knockouts, is the day and night)

To play live and jump around, have a light guitar is still a significant asset.

SOUNDS

I chose to keep the original microphone for the neck and middle. They do the job well, we recover the typical sound Start '. Nothing to do with Noiseless, but are the strat is whatever is said!

When the Hotrail DiMarzio DP 226 ... it is very simple, we just feel like switching guitars!

So powerful that even clean, light crunch is heard if strong attack!

Crunch, a stunning potato, it does not have to be ashamed in front of my P90 guitar.

In distortion, this is a killer too! A remarkable sustain is obtained (note held for 20 seconds without lifting), a sharp sound perfect for metal, without either tease the famous EMG active, whether we agree ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is the first time I make a guitar "tailor" an unforgettable experience that I would do with pleasure.
I want to clarify that even be up a guitar is not that complicated, and I invite all the guitarist has to do the same. Looking good on the internet and taking his time, it has come to be a very good guitar made for less than 200 €, provided we make some concessions (on wood, including ...)

The final result is far beyond my expectations: I wanted a small guitar that is not afraid to be trimbalée everywhere with comfort worthy set of fender mex, a powerful sound distortion / crunch, all within a budget very tight (less than 200 €).

Mission accomplished!

The Squier Standard Series Strat is the company's typical Strat that you find at most stores. They retail at around $200 and are a popular starter guitar for many budding players. This particular model has an agathis body, a maple neck with maple fretboard and 22 frets, a large CBS style headstock, sealed tuners and a 2 point tremolo bridge. It's loaded with standard Strat electronics (3 single coils, volume/tone/tone controls and a 5 way toggle switch. It's basically a pretty standard Strat, hence the title of Standard Series Stratocaster.

UTILIZATION

The design is reasonably ergonomic. Strats in general are quite contoured and sleek and this one does follow that school of design well enough. I find the contours aren't as sleek and smooth as some Fender models though. The weight varies on these from fairly light to absolute boat anchors, so try before you buy to find one that suits your body. The neck has a nice fast feel, but is completely ruined by the sharp, protruding fret ends that actually drew a bit of blood on one occasion. Not good... I'm not particularly impressed with their QC on this model... it really lacks certain attention to detail.

Getting a good sound can be a bit more difficult as this guitar uses cheap electronics and is a bit noisy overall. The stock pickups are okay at best and don't offer much in the way of true Strat sounds. They're also too noisy to use for rock or shred unless you've got a good quality gate in line.

SOUNDS

The tones really don't impress me much. Maybe I'm just picky, or maybe the guitar truly doesn't sound great, but I walked away wondering why it was even on the market as a Strat. The single coils loaded in there as stock are thin, underpowered and generally bland. There's no real evidence of that classic Strat bell like chime that I look for, nor is there really any bite or girth to the sound for some thicker overdrive tones. To be perfectly honest, the $100 Squier Bullet sounds better than this one... so unless you want to do pickup swaps to get this to sound anywhere close to a Strat, don't waste your time.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think this "Strat" really isn't what it should be to hold the Fender name. It feels cheap and low quality, the parts really don't work as they should (the tremolo is awful cast metal that falls out of tune if you even look at it) and the tones are just... bleh. Not worth considering at all unless you're planning to buy it as a mod project where you do work to the neck and junk the parts that come stock. For $200 there are much better options out there such as the Yamaha Pacificas.

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable and more convenient to find in their boxes dpart because the dots stand out better, more fairly as the handle end can be used quite comfortable.

Access in acute 19case APRS really easy until you need a little more technical (use your finger to get there) but in the end, just as easy

Aaah, the shape. Well, it's a Start "what, thus the shape of the legendary Stratocaster 'that really going around everywhere. Weight drisoire frankly it's a guitar that was quickly trs trs well in hand and, even if it has a weight, everything is so well trs that rpart 'it feels no pain APRS a hard enough game Whereas.

Frankly, for me, as beginners, I really got a good sound easily as I frankly not n'tais trs pain. Now, with much of experience, I realize that it still holds the road, the sound is always good. Only problem, to have a very heavy distortion, even when it is necessary to put the microphones in almost maximum. The fact is that for the price, there's really no need to worry, the sound is really good trs

SOUNDS

Let's talk. This stratum is Premire my guitar. Although sr when it is our Premire scratching it is a little delighted to have AC in his hands but I'm really good tomb. I t qques advised by friends and for the price I wanted to put it has always satisfied.

I played in dpart bcp things ROCK, like Offspring, Bloodhound Gang, ... Submitted but I switched to the more honest and more Hard drive. Like now, my guitar is a breathless for my style of music, it is not made for Metal. That's why I put it for sale on this website to share all the happiness brought me this guitar to others who want to like me, beginners.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 1 year. No worries, I never go to the reporter for any maintenance or rglage, nothing, nothing, nothing at all.

J'aime bcp bcp bcp versatility in styles. Even if it can not reach must in every style she holds the road (you say no guitar whatsoever can give you the most versatility complte) So this Squier, for the price is really a box of course!

This was my Premire guitar, and glad that I have more! And still in very good state

Report incomparable quality price, really!

With exprience, not, as I went on another style of music, if so, no hsitation!

Korean made, 22 fret thin, vibrato fender type, volume, a two Tone slecteur, handle end in all directions, enjoyable.

UTILIZATION

Can one speak of a form with rgonomie strato is the guitar mold for the body of the human being, we forget when we played, there is one with her. Adquoit with treatment, we obtain all possible sounds, the ball in the trash ... exprssive always, inspiring, despite a feedback and other noise under heavy saturation but then we know why the stratosphere is the queen of guitars.

SOUNDS

The stratovolcano is versatile and can tackle any style of music possible with a rel happiness, the strato, bewitching as the song of siRNAs, if not a. Statement ... lctronique modify the circuit to use the Tone on the acute micro velvet adds a cot his aggressive, by the power against the serious dconnecter cot adds a crystal-clear beautiful. Emg 81 on one of the strato sounds as hell.

OVERALL OPINION

This may not be a true strato-but what it looks like some prtendent even better ... it's not a small guitar that gives you CHRE ten times your money. its sounds, the notes you stick to doights and inspiration do not get finished. Which of us?? inspires another, draws another ...
modration use with vibrato, a little oil on all the fine points of friction limit dsaccordages well.

I am not too aware of this.
I'll just say that the guitar is average bill. It is easy to tune and lifts are not terrible.
Otherwise, standard 5-way switch, tone and volume (see below).
The handle is the highlight of the guitar with extra dimensions (for those who like the wide sleeves to Fender).
It's still in my eyes an entry level guitar and it shows.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very good. One example in my opinion a very good guitar study and get your feet wet.
The ergonomics are good. The guitar is not too heavy.
Regarding the the knobs are not much ...

SOUNDS

The clear ons are good. There is nothing to say on that, the highs are especially well rendered, the three config microphones offer good opportunities.
Saturates is feeble for the "big" sound. But the palette is still interesting.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a year and she gave me satisfaction to the extent that the comfort of the handle and the sounds are acceptable. It's still a guitar for a beginner (in my opinion), the possibilities are quite limited.
The value for money is good.
I recommend this guitar for the first experiment.

Manufactured in an exotic location I do not know, probably abused children (I am pessimistic).

Stratocaster guitar pretty basic, with 3-button (tone, tone, theft) and pickup selector.

everything works.

UTILIZATION

I like this guitar, except when I play sitting down, she slips invited to the front, I must be wrong sat

Joke hand, it is very well. I changed the strings of orgine (breaks after 2 months) and it holds the road well.

SOUNDS

This is my first electric guitar so I can compare it with anything, but I think it sounds trs trs well. For cons, I have a bit of noise on the third string (at the microphone sizzle very slightly), which is fine because embedded in the game, but you can hear oarfois in quiet moments and all the end of the song when we let it ring.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 5 months for the price I find trs well. I do it again this choice.

Squier by Fender guitar factory in Asia to the microphones I have not hooked and I ls is replaced by EMG and the handle and very practical for a good Access in acute and the ease of making arrangements requires startocaster ^ ^!


Good guitar but few alterations can make it better

UTILIZATION

The handle as I say is gnial dj with a good ACCS in acute and large easy to play a trs.


The form is also enjoyable trs I use it to the grunge and I just say that this guitar it super convenient for a good game of scne.


Finally the sound of a good amp for the rest I do not know but in my terms the sound is awesome and easy shape according to his game

SOUNDS

As prcdemment say I use it in a grunge style in which it fits perfectly but I also played with Satriani, Hendrix and the same of Paul Gilbert, games typically do not have what I want.


I play on a V-AMPIRE with pedals wahwah simple.


I do not have much effect but I use it with the dry sound trs nirvana but I also used to play in the fluid of rage against.


I do not dtest the sound I love say anything

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months in my group and another.


What I like is its ease jump and play at the same time the least I can not, ed.


I try a lot of model of Squier and I really looked for the one I like the sound and the Aesthetics of this guitar.


The price and not much trs trs expensive for a good sound.


If choice is silent again I Do not hesitate I do it again.

See the website of Squier:
http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0321600537

UTILIZATION

The neck profile is a lightweight C enjoyable surprise: Thinner than CP60, plutt comfortable and not painted (Yabon).
To Access in acute: Up 17me the box without problem, APRS has become more tense. But hey it's not a scratch to click the big flamboyant solo ...
Overall it is pluttlgre, there's no need to gun down the back and shoulders even for 1:30 concert.
"Gets it easy to sound good?" : Well, made a sound. The knobs are pluttl for Aesthetics. Dj scratching the lack of safe and more so if not we put everything back ...
Overall this is downright comfortable scratching. It's Playschool, not break it with nails.
Note: The cavities allow pickups humbuckers in bridge and neck: no need to make dfonce if you want to give a little boost with a H.

SOUNDS

Well I knew the era clearly nothing so I took what is sold in most of Contents scratching for beginners. Me falling over in the industry hard / metal is clearly insufficient (3 micros simple, like any self-respecting basic strat). This scraper is made to play soft rock, blues, funk, the rest could use some work.
I RPET "made a sound." Must not ask the moon eh ... rigor a little crunch story to style ...
Gnrale of Manir, there is a severe lack of bass. There's no rsonance, a lack of chest. In short it is of Agathis.
I have a Seymour TB-4 and 2 Tex Mex lurking, I will try to fuck it, might be a fun.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in September 2006, Premire is my guitar.
I tried it and I took it as soon as any fawn c'tait for beginners and I knew nothing!
It's a scraper to get right fingers, which drags in the corner of your room and you tear it off and gives you when you go out or do shit when your friend shows up the apartment with her folk. But for 320, we can find better carrment seeking a minimum, there's no wiggle ass (especially when you see brands like Custom77 us lay a Les Paul not even to touch bne 500). Now I have a CP60 and good ... 300 for more was the equivalent of a amricaine which is 1200, the charm and more.
Try: A kit Tex-Mex ...
In short, with the exprience I will not repeat that choice, no ...

The rest is known: a 5-way switch, 1 volume knob and 2 tone knobs.

I must say that the finish is really bleuffante for that price ... The materials used are good, the frets and the neck fitting.

UTILIZATION

The highlight of this guitar is its playability!

The neck is super nice. All settings of the guitar are very easy to perform: run, vibrato, string action, harmonic and microphones. This is very important to me because it gives a guitar perfectly suited to his game and his style of music.

In short, a real treat!

SOUNDS

I play blues / rock / pop, so it is perfect for that. In addition, it is quite versatile.

I play on a Marshall MG amp 15CDR and the result is very good. I think soon add effects to expand the possibilities.

Specific sounds are good Fender style. You do not buy this guitar for metal anyway.

The pickups are okay. On this type of guitar is the weak point (as all guitars of this price range for that matter).

OVERALL OPINION

I repeat, we must consider this guitar with respect to its price (320 € in France and € 230 elsewhere ...).
And for once, the quality / price / pleasure is excellent!
I really recommend you, it takes a lot of fun with.

But on this guitar is not for seasoned pros (not the first guitar at least!), But rather demanding for beginners, casual players or those who do not want (can) not to put € 1 200 Fender American Deluxe one worthy of the name.

Asia-made it seems to me
-22 Frets, 3 micro singlecoil
I'm not too much on the bridge but the vibrato is
-1 Volume, 2 tone, micro switch 5 position
C-handle

UTILIZATION

- The handle and not too bad, not a c Ibanez neck, but there's no need to be a lumberjack, either. it glides well but with fastfrets is always better ^ ^ has noted that even when the nut and a bit too high, but you could not lower it feels to lose the warranty
The bridge and hyper original set incorrectly.
-Access to acute and as in all strata, there is easy access
Weight and well-gone, the form is not a problem sitting
- Sound good? c 'is its gate this, frankly for the price they could do better, first winding and giving wrong damn parasites and a nice background
The pickups are not great it really lacks power, slamming a can has the pick attack. it can draft in an overdrive, clean his passes, 5 position selector
is useless because the 3 position is exactly the same sound, it did its beautiful turn the knob to change anything except his position on the neck pickup.
but good while it catches up the amp.

SOUNDS

It is not really suited to my style of music I play mostly Slash guitars and one that suits me is the Les Paul but due to the jet means to fall back on that stratum, it should have to other
I played on a Fender Frontman 212R is frankly not the best but it will be filled fender happy, I play with the overdrive of the amp and a Boss SD 1 Super Overdrive.
"I get it its really a rock but I can assure you that this is not thanks to the guitar. using the overdrive of the amp it does not understand the notes and a lack of power that price one would expect a humbucker anyway
I hate the overdrive sound I prefer to clean.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 3 months, I like the ergonomics but the question is not really his
- Jet tried other models but lack of c means that the jet had.
- Value for money and no one is too expensive for what it is!
- Now that I ais I do not refer this choice.

Made in Indonesia
Bridge says "knife" only modern Strat (= floating movement front and rear)
Maple neck (I have the stick-colored)
21 frets, 3 pickups with 5 position selector pickups.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable to play, access to acute I find is very easy!
And it still sounds excellently on the last of the E string!
The guitar is perhaps a bit heavy, but it gives me the impression of having good stuff

SOUNDS

The sound has really stuck! Issued by Eb I found all the sounds of SRV, Hendrix and Knopfler! To return to its typical Fender (round sound of the strings), you may prefer the second (major) and fourth (high) Otherwise it is amazing to play, whether you put your amp into overdrive or clean. ..

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a while since I played the guitar, but after two years I was getting bored on my semi-hollow (Ibanez) ... I then found someone to share this cons Start (with bonus money !)..."
"And the sound of his voice ... Waaaoow"
What really amazed me his Fender from a Squier! A remarkable finish at any point: 3 ply pickguard (!!), bridge of high quality (usually mechanical), perfect intonation ...
I who had stopped at a little guitar, I see my level improving day by day!
It is perfect for anyone who wants to play SRV, Hendrix, etc. ...

Another surprising is the Squier Classic Vibe 50's, both amazed me! In any case I'm not ready to sell!

I just found this, which proves the quality of finish: "In the end Squier - Fender, we are here between Affinity and Fender Mexican. The Affinity is too rough in the finish, and global manufacturing Avoid.
Fender Mexico cons, it's great but still much more expensive. If your budget is there, it's the Squier Standard Stratocaster you! "

Made in japan is already AC, 5 position adjustment for the microphone, knob all this, in fact everything that needs scratching!

UTILIZATION

Okay so where to start, handle well infact I love it is not bad, and end all this, the shape is practical, rather slight and play sitting it does not interfere at all good after pa we like it or mouth Me not like me is not my trip chui explore more good after all this but they're crazy, access to the fever is not bad but rather good is not great either.

SOUNDS

I bought this guitar because I was not advised and I knew her so I told myself it was good.
it is not suitable at all was my kind of musqiue (metal) It's been ugly when t'essaye play the cannibal corpse the above, even giving it a D-max is Foutan bass on the amp can not do short metal with that, as regards the kind of blues rock funk all this is his thing! with a clear sound damn good, infact I thought this guitar is really not made for the distortion, the limit has a small but good when it starts to be do bah ca disto trash makes ugly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for about 8 months it was infact my first electric guitar, since I play many other instruments. I was the most preferred handle it really is not bad at all for good practice, and finally access to acute mieu are still after the thing that I least like ... the distortion is wrong at all to this guitar, me personally as big metaleu full of hair she did no more but after SOMEBODY for a little more funky or blues should prove éfficace.le raprot money, is not enthusiast mieux.et franchemetn with experience I will not go to either with the experience I will burn well, lies!

For specifications, see the other view, they are very comprehensive ..
For me, it's a maple strat Candy Apple Red color.

UTILIZATION

The handle of this model is quite nice, soft and fine but slightly bigger than my other strats and a varnish with a little duller. I wanted a model with maple fingerboard for a small difference compared to my other strats that have the rosewood fingerboard. Exactly, the key is successful (in my case, I do not know the others) and is even more once it was cleaned with a suitable product or fast freight.

The shape is that of a stratum with a thickness still reduced compared to the real Fender and access to treble is like any other strata.
The weight is extremely low also because since there is less wood and that it is very sparse, and it must be said, of lower quality, you end up with a guitar really lightweight (especially with changes that I made, I talk about later) and very pleasant.

The microphones being installed fairly average, the sound is too shrill and strident, yet relatively quiet compared to others in these prices, but people being used as humbuckers or swearing by them pass their way. This guitar is not made for large saturations, obviously. But it can be pretty good according to what does or seeks, or for a beginner (as the original!).

I want to make a point of honor for the painting, I find, is very well done for a guitar of this price range! (Not the Candy Apple Red with gold glitter, no ... They are red. Lol)

SOUNDS

About the wood used, I must say I was a little scared the famous "Agathis" which I have seen evil. Well, I was surprised! It looks like (more or less!) To alder but with slightly less accurate and much drier, very medium. With maple fingerboard, this guitar gives a very surly, but dries clear sound ideal for a little "vintage" and saturations.
For cons, I found that it reduced a little harmonics.

Just bought it, I took her to my luthier usual modifications. The most important point, I changed my microphone. Because I thought it was the biggest weakness of this guitar and I really wanted a model of precise micro suited to my game I also block the tremolo which I've been using forever. I found it quite good but as usual, it's too out of tune guitar, you lose the sustain, harmonics etc. ...
It was also resolved, as all guitars are not resolved before buying, especially entry-level models like this. I also changed the plate and with the microphone, there is now a single volume knob.
Result, a model approaching a lot of Fender signature model I really like and that suits me better in all aspects.
The guitar has a high output level, sound still as sharp, dry and supports much better overdrive.
It should now really my style of music and my tastes.
She still has that small overflow in mediums that do not bother me but chose well his or her microphone, you can really do something good.

OVERALL OPINION

My rating reflects the changes I made to my guitar.

I used when testing for several months as a secondary or tertiary guitar (lol) and I am very satisfied.
I wanted to customize a strat me bringing up a Tom DeLonge signature but with the maple fingerboard and not too ruin me, it's done.
Squier's are very good copies of Fender guitars and are best for beginners but are also an excellent base for those wanting to build a model without breaking the bank. This model is really small but its absence is the pickups, I think. Nothing too serious ...
The quality / price is very good. I recommend it without worry.
With experience, I would do without this choice problem. With more money, however, I would have taken a Mexican fat start approaching more of what I wanted to do.

I used this while practicing in a garage band not too long ago. It was made in Japan, had 3 pickups, all of the stock configuration, with a volume and tone nob. My friend who owned the guitar said that the neck was maple, but I believe he bought that new.

UTILIZATION

The neck on the guitar originally was alright, but at times, felt pliable and brittle. The last frets were easy to access due to the style of the body. The guitar is well balanced and was not overly heavy or awkward shaped at all. The sound was alright, but could use a little tweaking, maybe new strings or some new pick ups.

SOUNDS

This guitar is suited for pretty much any style of music, as it only a beginners guitar, and with the right effects, can sound a lot better. I played it through a 15 watt old Kustom guitar amp, but my friend uses a Fender amp, and it sounds far better through the Fender amp. I use a clean chorus and a distorted chorus primarily, but switch to phase shifter and flanger from time to time. My favorite thing about this guitar is the price, but my least favorite part is the stock hardware, as it is very cheap.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used for about 2 months, and my friends used his for a year. The price is really what got us, but the hardware is horrible, and the pickups are pretty lame, but will get you by. I played on an Ibanez and an Epiphone but bought this as a lugging around guitar, as I didn't want to damage the others. For the price, this is a good guitar, but there are better out there, like the Epiphone Les Pauls or the Ibanez RGX20's are also better than the Squier guitars. I would probably just spend my money on a better Epiphone over one of these.
