Top notch quality at a low price!

Thank you Mark M. for your assistance in making my purchase an enjoyable one! If you want a strat that wont break the bank this will do! Guitar arrived ready to rock! Flawless finish and solid build! The Duncan Designed pickups are really great. wanted a heavier sound for the bridge so i had em install a SD hot rails and now this thing is a beast while still maintaining that classic strat sound for clean. Setup was spot on and the playability is amazing. grab one now before they're gone. Buy only from Sweetwater:-)

Best Bang for the Buck Ever!

This thing is amazing. You can't possibly go wrong with it! The Neck is incredible, pickups sound really nice, finish quality is awesome! I wont comment about the trem cause i block them off. This is truly an amazing guitar for the price. Squier has come a long long way. I wasnt going to give it a second look, but a friend comvinced me to try it. He was right.

Great guitar

This gutar has a great finish and came eady to play after being tuned up. I have had several guitars in the past and this is by far the one I like the best. I wrestled with buying this guitar over a little less expensive model. I am glad I went with this one.

One of the 'Best Kept Secrets"

Great looks, build, and feel. Especially the satin neck. Grab one before they are gone:)

Can't beat this neck

Its amazing how great this thing is, at this price.
The neck is out of this world. I was blown away, honestly.
I did not expect such budget guitar to be this good.
Sounds great out of the box...and with some minor upgrades....i think this can be an amazing guitar. Buy it...now !

Sleeper of an Instrument

No, it's not as good as an American Deluxe.
It is as good as a MIM Standard.
I'd go so far as to say it rivals an American Standard.

The pick up's are good. true individual pole pieces in A5.
The trem is a 2 point
The body is one piece, not ply.
The tuners are non locking but good quality.
The paint on mine is perfect.
The frets are perfect.

It's got everything on it that I wanted in a Strat, so I went ahead and tried it.

I'm glad I did. Pick one up before Fender realizes how good it is.

Three years and other than the dings I put into it, still perfect. but hey, It was only 220.00 when I got mine. I'm not going to sweat a few dings. Then again, that's part of the beauty of it. I would have had one monster of a fit if I had purchased the american deluxe I was looking at and dropped it like I did this one.

Excellent guitar , great value !

I'm an intermediate level guitar player and have played a Standard Mexican strat , and an American Strat. This guitar is right up there with the american . The finish is perfect , the fingerboard is nice and the neck is smooth all the way. Beautiful guitar for the money !

Great "twang" for the buck!

I've been playing for 25 years and oddly enough started on a Squier way back then. Over the years I have owned a lot of guitars from all the usual brands as well as not so usual like my current John Petrucci 7 string, and 4 Carvins custom shops.

I am in the military and stationed overseas, i.e. playing in the dirt, and wanted to get a guitar that I could use as a "beater" so that I wouldn't have to worry about any of my nicer guitars getting chewed up over here. Can't go wrong with a Strat so after searching the site for a bit I picked up this model along with a Line 6 Spider III (also awesome bang for the buck) and I have been very happy with this set up.

The features this guitar has are very similar to the USA Strat: 22 frets, and two point trem, and the finishes are usually not found in the Squier line.

The build quality is top notch for this price point. The Duncan designed pickups sound really good and give you all the spank you would expect from a Fender designed guitar. Teamed up with the Line 6 I got enough sounds to cover the camp bands wide ranging set list of rock, blues, jazz, and funk.

The best feature of this guitar has to be the neck and fretboard which has nice detailing and none of those knife edged frets that slice up your hands like on those other cheapos. It small and fast and Malmstein and Dream Theater riffs just fly.

So over all I gave it 5.0 rating based on how it compaires to it's competition and even guitars above its price. For $300 there's almost nothing that can touch this killer guitar.

buy it before it changes

I bought this guitar and I must say it is my favorite now. Decent duncan designed pickups and a quality tremolo as well. Put the 3rd tremolo spring in and it has quality tuners already so no tuning issues whatsoever. Also I dont think there is a better neck on any guitar in this price range, not too mention it is skunk striped. The satin finish on the neck is outstanding and the overall tone and build quality of the guitar is a notch above a MIM strat if you ask me. If you prefer an alder body then you should look at the CV series but I personally prefer a basswood body so this guitar matches my likes perfectly. LESS THAN $300 shipped to your door for this guitar and it is a steal at that price.

Great Strat!

I've Owned This Squier Deluxe Strat In Pearl White For A Month And It's The Best Strat I've Ever Had. It's Better Than All The Mexican Strats I've owned. The Smooth Satin Finished Maple Neck Makes It A Breeze To Go Up And Down On,The Action Is Low The Pickups Sound Great And It's My Number One Guitar. And I've Been Playing For 45 Years This One Is A Keeper!

An amazing guitar for a bargain bin price

I have nothing but good things to say about this guitar. I was expecting a cheapo guitar to carry to college with me, but WOW!. The fit and finish on this guitar are on par with any other i've ever played. As a matter of fact this guitar plays, sounds, and feels better than any MIM strat i've ever played. The quality components, pickups, neck (has a rolled fingerboard!!!), and overall fit and finish will surprise anyone that plays it. Don't be fooled by the name on the headstock. This is the real deal strat sound and feel.
