Are Squier guitars any good?

Posted by Dan Sleep on October 17, 2013 at 7:55pm in Other stuff - off topic, fun stuff, whatever

I troll Craigslist regularly, looking for bargain guitar stuff. I keep seeing Squier Strats up for sale all the time.

Are the Squier instruments inferior? I am guessing they are Fender's low end unit.

I have no clue, I am just curious what everyone's opinions of them are.

    All guitars are different, I've got a squire strat and it's a beauty, just a nice chunk of wood. Had it refretted, replaced the pickups and I love it.

    I got lucky though, make sure you play it before you buy it.

                They meant that in a good way, right?

    I've owned two Squire Strats and got rid of them. Couldn't keep them in tune. Didn't like the sound or the feel of them. I currently own three Squire Teles ! They stay in tune and are built super tough !! I did however replace the bridge pickups with Seymour Duncan Hot Rail pickups because the stock pickups are kinda weak. Squire Strats I wouldn't recommend but the Squire Teles I would highly recommend !!!

      Did the strats go out of tune due to cheap tuning pegs?
