"The first Squier for a 50-year old Fender fanatic!"
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
This is an easy guitar to own: Its sound can be a bit thin, not as beefy as a Strat or Tele. Mine came with light strings -they were changed right away. Playability is great: nice setup, short scale neck, fingerboard and neck feel smooth, although I need to work a little on the fret ends, they're too sharp. It really depends what you hook up to: A nice amp will do the wimpy humbuckers justice, overdrive pedals are a must, if you have a clean amp only. I don't think I want to record with the guitar, but tonight I just played my first live gig with it -it's a welcome addition to my Strats and Teles.
Feature:
Hardware is not bad, I've seen (and bought) worse. The toggle switch is the best I've ever seen: sturdy and a very welcome surprise. Saddles are bare-bones, plastic nut will certainly be replaced. I must warn you: for $250 you just cannot get a vintage Jaguar, or Jazzmaster. This guitar can make a beginner very happy, but even an oldtimer like me can see some potential here: I'm planning to invest a little in better hardware, p-ups, but that's it. The body and the neck are truly outstanding. Years ago, I put a similar guitar together from parts -they cost me $750, plus my own labor. It didn't sound nearly as good as this one. I'm now planning to soup up this beauty.
Quality:
I was floored by the quality of the paintjob and the neck. No flaws whatsoever, and a gorgeous sunburst. The only negative thing I could find are the fret-ends. They are a little sharp -I will file them smooth. I actually bought the guitar, wanting to upgrade and fiddle with it -I like working on guitars.
Manufacturer Support:
Fender is a very well connected company, and I expect Squier to be be just like that -although for a $250 guitar, you really can't expect much service. The built quality speaks for itself: it's flawless, sturdy and looks like a quality instrument. Got a problem? You can easily fix it yourself!
Value:
Great buy, if you're in love with Fenders. I am very happy with it.
The Wow Factor:
I already own several Strats, Teles, and hollow body electrics. The Jagmaster is a welcome addition, and fits right in with my sixties favorites. It's got vintage appeal, even though it's a relatively new model.
Overall:
I'm not planning on replacing it, but will keep it probably forever. It's like a real nice puppy: you can't marry it, but it will be forever grateful that you picked it out in the music store.

"Great Entry Level Guitar"
Sound:
it doesn't necessarily have a bad sound. it could just use some work. with the right amplification it could sound great i'm sure. i'm not upset by mine at all. i got it as a back guitar and on a trade in, so i didn't expect much out of it. it's just a fun little guitar to screw around with really. if anyone bought it in hopes of it being their last guitar ever, they were setting themselves up. they sure are pretty though. as far as i know, fender didn't release a line of them, so that may tell you something, but i'm not 100% sure on that one.
Feature:
mine was used and came with nothing but the guitar itself. there were even things missing on mine, but i was happy to get rid of the bass head that i traded. in pictures it comes with whammy (sp?) bar. that might be fun.
Quality:
it's really just a decent guitar to havae around. the construction is not amazing, but it's definitely not poor either. the finish on mine is great. i have to take better care of mine though. i got it used and when i first got it, it played great. now with less use, it could use some extra care.
Manufacturer Support:
i can't answer here. n/a
Value:
everywhere i've seen it has selling for much less than it is said to be worth. They typically go for around $250 everywhere when they are valued somewhere between $400 and $450. $250 isn't too bad.
The Wow Factor:
i think what got me hooked was the look really. Mine has a red finish with a marble brown pick guard. I'm not usually that into aesthetics, but this guitar was unique and cheap and worth the trade in. I suppose I wouldn't have just gone out and bought one, but that's beside the point. it does the trick for what it is.
Overall:
Like I said, for me it's just another guitar to have around. It would be perfect for someone's first guitar. I don't see getting rid of it anytime soon. With such a low price, there would be little value in selling it again. It would be a great guitar to pass on to someone who wanted to learn how to play. It's worth at least that. There are no special features to it that should make someone disappointed to be without. What you see is what you get with this one. Just a nice little basic guitar.

"Its Alright for Squier."
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
Sound:
For the price the guitar doesnt sound bad. I love the deep sound this guitar has. It sounds good with effects pedals.
Feature:
Not a whole lot to offer execpt the tone switch, it seems to make the guitar deeper every time you switch upwards.
Ease of Use:
Very easy, just like any fender, smooth neck.
Quality:
Its decently built, i wouldnt jam at a show with it, but just lying around the house it isnt bad. I look at squier as a beginers brand, i mean you get what you pay for. It is pretty though.
Manufacturer Support:
n/a
Value:
It a good guitar for the price.
The Wow Factor:
I wanted this guitar so bad, cause it looked close to a jaguar, but now that i have a Fender Stratocaster, Fender Mustang, and a Fender Jaguar. it just collects dust. I am not typically a fan of squier cause they always break down after a couple years of playing them. Thats why if you thinking about getting this, just pay a little extra and get a strat, a fender strat.
Overall:
Not alot to it plug it up and switch the tone switch to where you like it, i recommend you go with fender, there better quality. Squier is by fender but most of them are from indonesia, or china. so there not built to last like the real deal, great for a begginer, but if your a veteran, stay away. get the real deal.
