All user reviews for the Squier Satin Trans Fat Stratocaster HH

My wife surprised me with it for my birthday, so I'm not sure on the price ('cause she's an excellent haggler), but I'm guessing around $225.00. I know she got it at Guitar Center.
After playing an acoustic for 25 years, I wanted to find a new challenge. (You just can't do 'Little Wing' justice on an acoustic.)
I originally was looking at a Telecaster, but decided a Strat offered more options. I tryed out a few different Strat models, and decided on the Fat Strat with the single humbucker, double single coil pick up arrangement.

I was going to buy a Fender. When I was trying out the different Strat models, I didn't notice that the Fat version I picked off of the wall was a Squire.
After playing a Fender Standard Strat, a Highway 1, and the Tom DeLonge model, I didn't see any immediate difference playabilty-wise between those and the Squire. Once I realized that it wasn't a Fender, and really compared them, I found the Squire to have a slightly flatter, and maybe narrower, fingerboard. Other than that, for all intents an purposes, the Squire and the Fenders are pretty much the same guitar. They feel the same, they play the same, but the Squire's a hundred and a half cheaper. Once I got mine, I tweaked the bridge a tad, but that was about it.

Choice of finishes (big woo). Mine's Shoreline Gold. I didn't want Black or Red; that left Gold (I wanted Sunburst, it doesn't come in the Fat version.)

Maybe I lucked out, but so far eveything's tight and solid. The Shoreline Gold finish is flawless.

I ain't no Stevie Ray, I don't 'gig'. I wail on my Strat in my basement, any audience is comprised of my wife, kids, and dogs.
I play well enough to qualify for, and appreciate, a fine instrument, but can't justify a grand for a guitar budget-wise.
The Squire fits the bill perfectly, I can (finally) do justice to 'Little Wing', and I didn't miss any mortgage payments.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin and trs Access in acute nickel, so it's a start sailing ...
it has a good grip, it is neither too heavy nor too lightweight
it has a special coating that makes original trs good (to love)

SOUNDS

In sound for the price it trs bon.un thanks to its hot humbucker quilibr.un much saturated its pretty good that I find a lot of character

OVERALL OPINION

I do not possde I spend two hours a try for a friend who scratches the comments and the report is qualitprix trs <span>bon.pour</span> who started playing the guitar or did not the average pay of a fender is warm and <span>gnial.un</span> prcis I t trs tonn by his plsu than convincing ... I tried the same model but with two microphones and a simple double easel that is not bad too (more than a possibility, but its sound cooler)<br>if the scratches existed at the time I started guitar I will have surment buy.<br>it is unfortunately not well known, the squeir I try (I try 4) is the one I prfr.<br><br>I try on a transistor amplifier and a lamp (MG30DFX and custom, an amp lamp) and it makes good on both, small preferences of the amplifier biensur
