  • Exceptional guitar for the money!
Color: 2-Color Sunburst (Matte)
This is a fantastic guitar for $119. I stumbled on YouTube reviews of it and immediately bought one. It was playable right out of the box, although I did lower the action more to my liking, but the intonation and neck were pretty much spot on. I really dig the matte finish, more so than I thought I would. Fretwork is well done, no jagged edges and the neck feels comfortable also. The tuners turn smoothly and seem solid. The pickups sound decent, bright and chimey. My other guitars all have humbuckers, so I did end up putting a hot rails style humbucker in the bridge position so I could have that option. (See picture) Overall, the Squier Debut is an impressive guitar at this price point. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Excellent value, plays great right out of the box
Color: 2-Color Sunburst (Matte)
My particular guitar did not have any sharp fret ends and the fret tops looked to be polished, or at the very least did not feel rough at all. It was very playable right out of the box. Action was 1.5mm on low E at the 12th fret and even lower on the high E with no buzzing on any fret when played without a heavy hand. Intonation was spot on, on all but one string which wasn't off by much. The bridge was decked when I got it, floating it was the only change I needed to make. Truss rod did not need to be adjusted at all, there was a very slight bit of relief in the neck already. I didn't check the gap between string and first fret or closely examine the nut but there was no indication that the nut was causing any problems. The back of the neck, as YT reviewers have noted is pretty rough feeling. The satin finish looks and feels great and doesn't show finger grease like a glossy finish would. It weighed in at just under 7 pounds. Guitar seems to hold tune when lightly using the tremolo but the tuners are the real weak point of the guitar. They do work, and the guitar stays in tune, but the tuners are not very smooth feeling at all. Sometimes they'll feel very difficult to turn but then loosen up, sometimes it feels like the knob turns without doing much before having an effect. Sometime a slight twist of the knob makes too much of a change, so it is a bit difficult to make minor adjustments. They're not good but they are serviceable. They are the first thing I'd consider replacing. The tremolo block is also very thin so that's something else to consider swapping. I didn't play it a whole lot through an amp yet but initial impression is that it sounds decent. Bridge pickup seems a little shrill but dialing back the tone control makes it acceptable. For the beginner that this guitar is aimed at, I don't think you'd need to change anything right away. It is perfectly playable out of the box, all a new player needs to do is tune it up and start playing. That's the way it was with my guitar but of course this could vary. However, since some reviewers had the same experience it's clear Fender must be making some effort to setup the guitars before shipping them. The initial out of the box experience, in my opinion, is better than any Indio or Firefly I've had and better than or equal to most IYV or Harley Bentons that I got. Considering you get a very competitively priced guitar, from a major brand, that may not need any work at all (unlike most budget instruments) and the free 3 months of Fender Play I think this is a real winner for a beginning guitarist. I have no problem recommending it to any beginner or even experienced guitarist. ... show more

  • Intonation was spot on out of the box
Color: Black (Matte)
The squire debut Stratocaster is a real bargain at $119 Mine came today well packaged. Checked intonation with stroboscoptic tuner after stretching strings and tuning up, all were about a half note flat out of box. Intonation and 2nd harmonics are all correct, all fret ends in are smooth and action is set fairly low. This is best set up I’ve seen in new guitar in the sub $1000 price range. Matte black finish seems perfect, no grit or uneven spots. Neck has nice satin finish. I plan to replace tuners and install an alnico V Pickups soon. For $119 this can’t be beat. Amazing setup and fretwork at this price. Also the installed strings seem to be of good quality, they didn’t leave any smudge marks like most cheap strings. ... show more

  • Great for the price
Color: Black (Matte)
Setup was easy. Intonation out of the box was spot on. I wish the finish was better but I put a few aftermarket parts in and I love her. She definitely sounds amazing. Very happy. The only reason I didn’t give five starts is because the nut had a few burs that I had to file down to stop the buzz during bends. Other than that, it’s great. ... show more

  • Solid All The Way Around!
Color: 2-Color Sunburst (Matte)
I've only had this Squier "Debut" Strat (in the sunburst matte finish) for a couple of hours-- just long enough to examine it thoroughly and play it through my amp for awhile. I made some minor adjustments to the heights of the individual bridge saddles to get the action a bit more to my liking (each string just high enough off the board to be able to slide a Quarter under it, which gives me a nice medium-low action, and also results in the strings properly following the radius of the board). I must say, folks, there's not a thing wrong with this guitar. The finish is beautiful; the neck is relatively thin, feels great in my fretting hand, and did not need any truss rod adjustment; the tuning machines are fine; the frets are good and not gritty; the intonation is very good; and best of all the nut is cut and set accurately. Plugged in, we get a bit of the typical single-coil hum in pickup positions 1, 3 and 5 (but not bad), and we have hum-cancelling in positions 2 and 4 (both of which give us that Strat-ish out-of-phase sound such as you hear on the intro to the song "Free Ride.". These may not be "primo" pickups, of course, but they're perfectly usable. In conclusion, in my 58 years of guitar playing, with my primary gigging guitar having been a beautiful 1972 Strat, I would submit that I've never seen a better overall value than this Debut Strat right here. For $119? Crazy! ... show more
