Value For Money : Excellent
the bridge is a brass trigger guard, there are 21 frets. the handle is C I believe, and maple key. 2 microphones "standard" one volume, one tone, 3-position selector.
I give 8 points for tuning machines do not leave my rope acute mid very stable (but it does not mean almost)
cons by the selector position is light and moves at the slightest blow on it ...

UTILIZATION

The handle ... Whah! I did not like Squier, I have a stratocaster ibanez law follows (excellent) and a Gibson ES335, 1967 ... the weight collector is nickel. The grip is like a telecaster, ie very pleasant, very rock 'n' roll is a bit "industry, and plays." You feel it in you, more than a strata, if it is comfortable, does not this union with the body ... the neck is satin, which, without making a highway in ESP or other .. makes it very soft, fast and pleasant. Rather late, it still feels something in his hands. The bends are well chosen.
Only problem, access to acute (which will return in the sound problem) if this is correct, it's still a telecaster! and bends tend to curl and have to watch not make a nice "TWANGGG" slapping strings sisi ca ... happens to the best of us ^ ^
But for her, that's another story ...:

SOUNDS

And yes! sound but in a corner of mouth to all my friends Zikos!
The handle, if it offers a nice roundness to the solos, and its a good rock 'n roll a little lack of power for these solos. but changing the channel, I do not feel a man's death.
The bridge is harder to tame, and in general, the bridge pickups make me fast enough earache. But now that I understand ... it wild while! Do not just use it for ballads chordal ^ ^
The live sound is good, a little amp settings fairly simple, and go to "Kiffer" his game!
I play on fender or marshall amps tube, etj'adore each time it makes the guitar amp in this case (which is very gratifying for the guitar!).
Oops, it is useless to try to play a search for settings with the tone and volume, lowering the tone it changes nothing, then proceeded to a ca direct his rough dull, limited to twelve o'clock ^ ^ like the volume that spoils the character of the guitar, which is beautifully tempered to the base!
but I do not like my work or my tone volume in general, so it does not bother me at all.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using a little over a year. I tried many models, desfois 200 euros more expensive! and my choice is facing it, a Squier, whereas before I was a strong critic of the brand ...
I like his look, his simplicity, his, her sleeve. I do not like the knobs or adjustment mechanisms for low E which do oscillate in hertz can be after ... is this a fault on mine!

Good value for money is going to say (although for a Squier, well not too soon they moved their butts!)
And I will ever see this option because this guitar is really a whole, a fairly taking part of me!
