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.

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!

The neck needed a little adjustment, once that was set the intonation fell right in place. Really a lot of fun to play. I'm giving this to my niece . The smaller size , really nice action with eights on it should be perfect for her little ten year old hands . A great first guitar .

I'm in my 60's, a jazz player and normally play on large jazz boxes like D'Angelico New Yorker, ES175 etc. I also own a Gibson 335 and a Fender Telecaster. I saw a review and thought why not for just about $120? I'm really shocked at the great quality at this price. I'll have to put some better quality and heavier gauge strings on it. I think these come with 9's installed. On a guitar like this I would prefer 10s like on my Tele. I have to get a accustomed to this neck, compared to my jazz boxes it feels like I'm playing on a broom stick because it is thin in comparison, but well crafted and plays nicely. The fret ends are finished and smooth so no worries cutting your fingers up. No buzzing, and the intonation seems pretty good right out of the box. The guitar seems a little lighter than a regular Strat and I welcome that. The satin finish in sunburst is nice and has a certain understated elegance to it. It sounds pretty good through a Twin Reverb. I don't really do much distortion these days but I tried it through my MXR Super Badass Distortion and it sings. Sure, you can mod this guitar up but that defeats the purpose of purchasing a decent guitar this cheap. Will it last 100 years? who knows. it's a keeper!

Totally playable right out of the box, action was great, intonation spot on, fret ends smooth. I really don’t know how they do it for $119. Heck, I spend more than that for a family dinner at a restaurant these days. This has to be the best value beginner’s guitar on the planet. I’ve been messing with guitars since the Ventures played “Walk Don’t Run” and I’ve payed way more than this for guitars that were not finished nearly this well. It’s also a great platform for tinkerers who may want to swap the pickups for ones with a little more muscle or fancier tuners but as I said it plays and sounds great from the get go. Oh, and I really like the matte finish, especially the red which is more of a rust color, doesn’t show finger prints and doesn’t slide off of your leg when playing seated without a strap. I like it so well I think I’m going to get one of each of the other colors.

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.
