As I have gradually learned to use my fingers more and pick less, this guitar is perfect for that practice. And it's light, so it's a nice change from my Epi LP Pro Fx with Floyd rose.

For the price, this Squire is gold.

And I will upgrade the Bridge and tuning pegs.

Was thinking of getting a Stetsbar for it, but that's almost as much as the guitar.

After reading great things about this guitar I picked one up in a local gtr shop thinking "this can't be that good". It was not just good but great. Fantastic neck, stayed in tune, great tone plugged into a Fender Deluxe Reverb that I used. My jaw hit the floor to be honest. Right out of the box I was able to rehearse with this (no setup yet). Compared to my MIM Tele it blew it away...and that had a Glendale Bridge and Lollar pickups installed in it. The bridge could maybe be upgraded to something better, but it's getting the job done. The pickups I actually really liked the sound of and I'm torn if I should bother replacing them. If you want an absolute steal this is the guitar. Sweet chime, sustain and punch...easy to play and stays in tune better than some American models I've owned!!! Get over the logo and enjoy!

I run a shop in Hawaii and have played/sold about 5 of these guitars. They are consistently awesome. I sold one to one of Bruno Mars' guitar players and bought one for myself as well. I first became aware of them through Incubus' guitarist, Mike. He used one on every song on the "If Not Now, When?" record and took it on the road as his main touring axe for that whole tour cycle. If you want to hear it in action (albiet with different pups and a Fender logo on the headstock) just google Incubus HQ or any Incubus video from 2011. The stock pups are Alnico 5's and have a beautiful vintage Fender tone. I won't replace them. The neck pup is actualy useable on these guitars and I'm able to get a wonderful Hendrixy-blues tone quite easily. The only mods I have done was to sheild the pickup cavities with copper tape and add strap lock buttons. Otherwise, I'm leaving it totally stock. The necks are AMAZING too. Scroll up and press add to cart now. You will love it. Guaranteed! :) One day playing it and you'll actually be proud to show off that you rock a Squier. I have 20+ personal guitars and access to about 75 more and this is in my top 3 easily.

Well put together, nicely appointed so significant flaws as a G2 used. Replacing the bridge (but really don't need to) and the tuners which are ok, but tend to go a little out of tune. It may be the strings, which are a little light but for the price it's hard to beat the quality and sound.

I used to play professionally and now mostly do home recording. I own about nine guitars, many of them vintage (e.g., 60s Strat, Guild Starfire) or otherwise high end (several PRS and a boutique acoustic). I had never owned a Telecaster and started shopping for one...I looked at pretty much every model out there over about a 3-4 months' time. Since a lot of the Tele bridge pickups are a bit too harsh for me, I gravitated toward the fuller sound of the '69 and '72 Thinline reissues. But their necks put me off...they were too big. I was about to give up and order a custom build (and drop >$2K) when I tried this guitar on the way out of the shop. It felt great...the neck was a thinner (modern) profile. The single-coil pickups were full and throaty, and it was exceptionally light (maybe 4-5 lbs). Initially, I was put off by the fact that it was a Squier, but after going back and playing it a few more times I just had to let that prejudice go. As I ringing up the guitar, I mentioned to the shop owner that I couldn't believe how good this guitar was for what I paid. He agreed, saying that this guitar was equivalent in quality to "guitars that sell for thousands." I've recorded with it some already and it works well as a rhythm guitar in the background and it growls nicely with even a moderate amount of gain. I set it up and intonated it myself (using the stock 3 saddle bridge) and it came out great. It was a really pleasant surprise to find a guitar that was a great fit for me at this price, when I was willing to spend 4 or 5 times as much for a Tele. The comments here about the cheap feel of the bridge are accurate...I'll probably buy and install a Barden replacement bridge the next time I change strings. But I'm glad I bought this and I'd do it again.

I bought one of these and am very impressed. The guitar is very well made. The pickups are just great. I have a CV 50's Tele and I replaced the pickups with Fender Original Vintage. I honestly can't tell the difference and I play 4 hours a day. The Custom body being semi hollow actually gives it a rounder and silkier sound. There are no dead spots and its light as a feather. It's as good if not better than the Fender. The one area that has to be changed is the bridge. The saddles are cheap pot metal. I had a set of full size brass saddles to put on and what a difference. Rock solid tone. You can replace the pots and switch but I didn't bother. The standard parts are fine.
Buy this guitar and play till it hurts. You will not be sorry

I have this guitar at my remote work site. I was expecting it to be a serviceable axe. It turned out so much better than I expected.
I have a lot of guitars, both electric and acoustic. This guitar just makes me smile every time I play it. It is light, has a really good neck, very nice pickups, the intonation and action were right straight out of the box. These Classic Vibe Squiers are so much fun to play and anyone can afford them. The only change I intend to make is to replace the bridge with a Joe Barden upgrade. It's not that the stock bridge is bad but I had the Barden and it will make a sweet axe even sweeter. Usually I would replace the pickups with DiMarzio's but these sound fine. Rumor is they are identical to Toneriders.
Fit and finish are very good.
You really can't believe the quality for the price.

For the money, this is an absolutely phenomenal instrument. Admittedly, I was was highly skeptical about buying a Chinese-made Squier, but I have been happily proven wrong. I recommend this guitar highly.
This guitar is awesome. Fantastic neck, beautiful body and tons of sustain. It is now at the top of my guitar rotation.
Quality is generally excellent. Tuners work well, the frets are level, and the fit and finish are superb. The pups and pots are pretty good, although I will probably change them out over time. Bridge was a bit on the cheap end, so I swapped it out for a Joe Barden bridge. Although it played well out of the box, I splurged on a professional set-up which really maximized the playability and sound of the guitar.
Unbelievable value. Although this guitar is manufactured in China, the quality is excellent. Yes, it doesn't come with hand-wound pups and mother-of-pearl inlays that you would find on a custom shop American tele, but this is a great work-horse guitar that will last me for years.

Just to reitterate what everyone else said, this guitar is really great for the price, place awesome, beautiful finish, action perfect out of the box, beautiful piece of mahagony.

Also reccomend it from MF, the packaging was over the top excessive to protect the guitar (awesome), and the package arrived when promised. Also, the process is particularly secure though MF.
