All user reviews for the Squier Stratocaster (Made in Japan)

Squier by Fender Stratocaster purchased in 1992 made in Japan.
21 frets, 3 single pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone, a selector.
The mcaniques for me are correct and fairly reflect the relatively good agreement.
Vintage vibrato does not request any of the same too.
Black varnished indmodable.
8 of 10 for the vibrato

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable play: rather thin, fast, glides well, varnishes enjoyable.
Regarding the sound, After a few SETTING THE height of micro, you get a sound worthy of the greatest ... I return below.

SOUNDS

I play mostly blues-rock. And it gives me the guitar perfect clean sounds excellent position serious, aggressive as it should on the micro acute. Plugs into a Fender, all the blues crunch clearer than is possible. Frank Marvin, Ike Turner, Hendrix ...
In a saturated Marshmall is enough thundering as it does not feel like playing a guitar on "cheap" (I also have a Les Paul ...): trs good offense, his incisive and prcis. I spend Nirvana Hank Marvin and David Gilmour to the Beatles without worry ...!
In short, all good.
Mention specially the microphone that sounds serious trs "hendrixien" with a good crunch Marshall

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 15 years (and YES!) That I use and it has aged well trs trs. (A few cracks on the mic selector, change and fret wear (normal))) I can not do without. for testing squier strato 'rcentes, I can say that mine is the best!
My Start has aged well despite trs concerts, heat, smoke, humidity ...
The sound is amazing for me for this price range. In the era, I'd pay about 1800 Frs. Branch alternately on a JCM 900 or a Fender Bluesbreaker, the sound is absolumment unique and worthy of a real Fender strato made in ... No need for effects or anything, fingers do the rest ...
She is now on it all these years: scratches, paint worn, cut ... But it is all the better!
In short, I do it again this choice without hsiter. I spent good years with her, and this will continue!

Made in Japan to beginners of the 80 is more than just a copy of the 1962 US MODELS scratching as this does not lack is srieuse qualits.La violin. We find the slecteur 3 positions of the "great era" and microphones that sound good in contrast to APRS MODELS.
This guitar was in many colors including black or bright red.

UTILIZATION

It really is true especially strato it sounds better than most of the US era for a ridiculous price, which explains its cte argus leve.
Some have guitaros prfr slecteur replace the 3-position with a 5

SOUNDS

If you like the sound ... no strato surprises.Donc s'tendre not bother about it!

OVERALL OPINION

Srato good a bargain price that I find especially when same lev too good today found MODELS Fender cheaper new or used.
Beware of scammers who change the pickups before resale or more a guitar you refourguent rcente.Donc look carefully before buying as the head of the MODEL pictured above.

ADDITION OF 15/05/11:

Sade apparently misread the article. When I say that it sounds better than a US MODEL of this era, I do not speak for all US! US production of the years 70/80 charnire frankly left DSIR: poor sound, body made with spices July 5. As for the quality of Squier it does not drive a long time ... The lottery began in 1983/1984.

It is a Squier Stratocaster by fender made in japan, numro serial starting with Q MODEL 1993 standard.

is a typical stratocaster, alder body, neck Saddle 21 boxes, rosewood fingerboard for my MODEL, 3 micros simple, a 5-way switch, one volume, two tone, vibrato vintage 6 screw.

brief comfort level is typical, comfortable, good access to acute, muzzle well located, not trs heavy, short of happiness.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable, profile D, frets mdium short, good comfort even for small hands is fine as there's more on some sleeves ibanez, but OK.

the finish is correct trs, trs guitar has aged well, the pickguard is colored crme, the selector and the knobs do not crachottent.

His level, what a deal?

Fully Strato is my home, the pickups have a trs good sound, the sound is typical and has nothing to envy the big sister fender.

for more sound, I have two mini switches in order to have three microphones at the same time and the neck pickup and bridge together, which gives TRS sounds interesting!

deuxime the switch allows me to create a position humbucker (neck / middle and middle / bridge), which gives a true humbucker sound (thank you reversed the polarity of the micro environment), these two positions give her a fat not dsagrable especially with distortion!

short my squier can play everything now thanks to these nine positions!

SOUNDS

I play everything from blues, rock mtal view of a stratovolcano is one more guitar for blues and rock will say it is clear, but with my changes I can play anything!

in short it has become even more polyvalente.les squier made in japan 90s are often criticized, but honntement I think the words are false, they are good strats trs, much better than Squiers are current dj not bad for some.

OVERALL OPINION

I had several dj strato (squier, fender, see copy more or less Russia), I've had four months, I would not part with it!
is a real stratocaster in the strict sense of the word!
it is really typical, microphones may be a less chouilla prcis honntement but it's practically inaudible to be less than the purist who has a fender guitar 2000
in short a good buy opportunity, I advise you!

I own Fender Squier Stratocaster guitar black Made in Japan Series E.
It is really great.
I acquired 2 years ago from a dealer and friend, he bought a stock squier and fender and inside there were 2 Japanese Squier Series E.
I was very lucky to find a guitar of this quality.

The finish is very neat.

You can see pictures on my profile Audiofanzine.

UTILIZATION

It's a very nice guitar to play.

SOUNDS

The sound is really good with the original Alnico.
I compared it with a Fender American news on the same amp, the sound is much better on my Squier, the pickups are more powerful, she farts sound better and more rounded.

OVERALL OPINION

You can see below, the notice filed by Dieselsmoke, I agree entirely.

In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
That series 0 Japan of 1993 or 1994

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Bridge fender six screws (I think) I have not had a rod with vibrato (but usually they're crazy)
Small problem with the high E Mechanical she kidding but if not that the others hold very well agree.
What kind of stick?
C-profile maple neck

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration? 21 frets
3 micros simple but it's not the original ones, fender or squier??
In any case it sounds =)

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
5 position selector volume two tones (one for the neck pickup and one for the central) bridge pickup has no tone is what seems normal ...

Mine resseble than david gilmour ...


UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Ultra comfortable I would say it has not changed one bit in 18 years is pretty impressive ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The alder body is a bit heavy, but meaningless (seated or standing) in it by it's very well balanced.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
is not made for shred is obvious, but it's pretty easy to access

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
I tested it on a fender frontman 15g and it sounded very well already, and a tube amp is ecstasy ...

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
I play a lot of rock 60 and 70 years, it suits me very well.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
All background generally seen as the volume knob must be non-progressive at 8 to hear the guitar really clean channel. At different positions well it sounds like a Start, American can not be, but already a good Start ...

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
All positions are well except that the bridge pickup lacks a bit of fishing is a pity, I may be a change for a hot track days.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it three days, I had previously tried another one Squier Stratocaster Arctic White 2 or 3 months before and it has been the trigger, you must not underestimate this set of instruments, some they poorly maintained over time, I think quite the opposite it gets better with time like wine
I paid 300 € may be that this is a bit expensive, but I do not regret ... I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap strat correct, try one you will not regret it I think ...

Guitar made in Japan. Replica vintage 62.Mécaniques low end, and the vibrato and all the fittings. Ergonomics

UTILIZATION

a classic Stratocaster
Handle, less pleasant than U.S.. Micros very average, no grain. Mine was to end 83. Lack of color

SOUNDS

mics that I immediately changed the time. Output level low. When I read it sounds better than American, I scream with laughter! And Strats, I've owned a dozen, so this one, the worst.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a year while I was already playing on her sisters and a U.S. Lespaul Gibson Deluxe.
A low-end model which is now the joy of speculators and remains a more than moyen.Jamais I would do this choice!
