Chinese good! (Mine anyway)
I love maple handle, the paint is very nice but I understand you may think otherwise, it's special: try.
Pine body (fragile it seems) very beautiful, I love the finish butterscotch blonde. I also have a fender jazz bass U.S. and personally, I find that fender colors offered by inadequate, especially on guitars, unless type in the high-end and one butterscotch blond on a guitar at this price the: beautiful
The wiring is clean although too thin for my taste.
Wants vintage finish, nothing to say it is!
7/10 because although it sure is not worth a U.S. death that kills as some would like to hear and because the jack has a tendency to loosen and the pickguard looks a bit cheap.

UTILIZATION

I repeat, I love the handle!
Weight level I do not find it particularly heavy, but it sure is not a Melody maker.
Usability telecaster nothing more nothing less.
Strings of origin must be immediately replaced.
Good performance agreement
To see the time

SOUNDS

The typical telecaster undoubtedly, we do not ask for miracles to a guitar in this price range and good for the price we can consider that the classic vibe of it! Although it sure is not worth a certain Southwestern U.S. but without a doubt!
Its vintage wish
The little extra that makes the difference: it is true that the neck pickup lacks a bit of potato (nothing bad either) but suffice it to the back a little and ...
The bridge pickup gives it, I love it!
Conclusion: Enhancing the neck pickup is mandatory! It would be such a shame to go to score what it brings! Otherwise I think rewire everything and change the knobs at the top but it is without it.
The sound is really the strong point of this guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 1 year and it's happiness. I'm bassist and I play the guitar to change from time to time and to record the ideas that go through my head in order to present to members of my group. She met and surpassed its role perfectly, often to my guitarist me borrow!
Do not stop at the brand squier hide and you will see a stop to the color that I love but especially for his son!
Therefore I would put 8/10, not because it is part of the best guitars in the world to stop the nonsense, but simply because the value for money is extraordinary, she pushes a lot of Southwestern undoubtedly after the small micro enhancement round!
