I bought this as a used Amazon Warehouse product, so I wasn't expecting much. Really, I was curious and I thought I didn't have much to lose for the price. I've been playing guitar for 32 years. I'm not a professional, but I'd consider myself skilled and knowledgeable if I do say so myself. I figured I'd change whatever needed to be changed and I'd have a beater guitar that I could keep lying around and something I wouldn't have to worry about taking with me anywhere. I really did not expect it to be as nice as it is and I'm not changing anything (though I've changed the strings since I like 10s). The neck feels fine and comfortable. The body wood looks really pretty to me. I didn't know poplar looked so nice and it looks almost like mahogany. Mine appears to be a one-piece body, which I find strange and I would almost think there was a veneer if it weren't for the torso cut. I've payed several guitars $2000-$3000 and I'd say this plays at least 90% as well as those. The pickups actually sound decent. Maybe they aren't as clean and punchy as more expensive pickups, but they sound pleasant to my ear. Just know that they are single coils and there will be some noise, as is the case with all single coil pickups. The nut width is a little narrow (42mm) and the neck resembles an early '60s Strat if I'm not mistaken. I used to think I wanted a wider neck, but I've realized I don't care about that. The neck feels almost unfinished, but neck finish is another thing I've realized doesn't matter too much to me. The body is only 1-1/2" thick rather than the standard, 1-3/4", so it's a thin body, but I actually really like that. It makes accessing the highest frets easier, since the guitar's heel is also thinner. And from what I've heard, some of the original Telecasters in the '50s were actually also 1-1/2". I'm amazed at the quality that is coming out of Chinese factories these days. It used to be that you really had to spend a lot to get any quality, but not anymore. I think that some people get snobby because they drift away from being a musician and become gear enthusiasts. Maybe they think they'll play better on a more expensive guitar, maybe they want to look like their idols. Also, some people get fixated on tone and don't realize that most listeners in a live setting don't care too much about your tone. And if tone is so important, to me the richest tone comes from an acoustic anyway. No offense to anyone, since I've definitely felt myself pulled in that direction too. I'm almost envious that beginners can start on such a good instrument these days. If you are a beginner, know that you have to set up an electric guitar, even an expensive one. Look it up, but it means you have to adjust the action and intonation at the saddles. Also the neck relief might need to be adjusted with the truss rod, especially if you change string gauges. This is completely normal and if you are complaining about string buzz, 99% of the time you are just showing that you don't know anything about guitars. The nut is cheap plastic, but works adequately. Yeah, the frets are gritty, but that goes away and you can polish them if it bothers you that much. The frets do, however, seem to be a soft metal and there was already a little fret wear when I got it. I've leveled and crowned frets before, so I'm not put off by that. Also, there were no sharp or uneven frets or anything like that and I can lower the action as low as I want to, so it's been constructed to good tolerances. There are hairline neck pocket cracks, which I usually can't stand, but I'm OK with on a guitar at this price point. Maybe quality varies between individual instruments, but I got one that someone returned and I really like like it. I never in my life considered buying a Squire until I happened upon this Amazon page and never considered buying a guitar from Amazon either. Now I've since bought another (more expensive) guitar from Amazon and I can't believe how happy I am with them after disappointments (and stress) buying guitars from other websites that will remain nameless. In conclusion, there isn't much cheaper that a guitar can get and this is a good guitar for someone at any level, delivering a tremendous value.

This is simply a great guitar for the money. I bought an open box unit and when I opened the box, the tone knob had fallen off. There is a tiny screw that holds these knobs on, and even my computer screwdriver was too big to tighten it. I used the end of a tweezer and that did the job. Then I checked for dead frets. The last eight or so frets on the low E string were all dead. The frets were fine. The string was actually hitting the neck pickup. A few turns of a screw to lower the pickup and this problem disappeared. The neck feels very good. I'll knock off a few sharpish fret ends with a fret file, but it's actually very playable even if I don't. I see almost nothing in the way of finish flaws. I imagine this is open box because someone received it and didn't figure out why it had dead frets. Maybe they didn't even find the loose knob in the bottom of the foam bag that held the guitar. I don't know, but someone missed out on a really nice guitar. Right out of the box the higher five strings were well intonated. The action is just slightly on the high side, but I can always adjust that. If you're a new player and can't figure out how to set up this guitar, it might be worth spending a hundred more dollars for a setup. But you can probably buy 30 dollars worth of tools and set it up yourself with a little help from you tube. At some point, I'm likely going to change out the pots/3 way switch and maybe the pickups. But everything is working very nicely now. It's got that trademark Tele twang on the bridge and a more even sound in the middle position. The neck pickup is just the slightest bit dark. The neck seems like a very nice slim C carve. The guitar weighs 7.2 pounds. I have a Glarry that weighs less than 6 pounds and was about a third of the price, but this is hands down a better instrument. So, I'm very happy with this guitar and sad for the person who sent it back.

The Guitar arrived on time in fair condition. Keep in mind I am not planning on returning this guitar. That being said, it had a couple of issues, nothing too horrible, the controls panel was loose, both Tone and Volume knows were completely loose, someone didn't tighten the set screws. The nut was cut too low, strings drag on 1st fret, pickups too low, the neck had a smal ding in the edge of the fretboard , excessive polish left in nooks and crannies, strings were junk. BUT with all that fixed up, the guitar is fantastic. Feels exceptionally good and comfortable. Reconditioned the fret board , polished the Frets, Replaced the dime pots with 25s. Love the finnish, very nice. The neck was set very well, the action was good....a little high. I fixed all that stuff, and honestly it was little stupid stuff anyone could fix. Once I did the work it sounds amazing. Some people want to play right out of the box, I don't mind making it right for me. You may get something completely different from what I got. Just enjoy your purchase and make it your own piece of happiness. I did , it's pretty cool ,check it out.....and get a nice hard case for it too....about $70.00 for a cheap one. Hope this helps, good luck, Rock On 😁👍

I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and I’ve developed a full‑blown Telecaster addiction. Don’t listen to the brand fan boys who insist these aren’t quality instruments — they’re wrong. I’ve bought guitars that cost six times as much as this Squier, and some of them showed up playing like absolute garbage. This Tele arrived with sharp fret ends, and I could’ve knocked a star off for that, but I work on my own guitars. It took me less than 10 minutes to fix. Once that was done, the guitar played great. For the price, the feel, the tone, and the overall build, this thing absolutely holds its own.

Very nice Squire guitar and much better than I expected Opened up the box and everything is in good condition , no missing parts or scratches or cracks on the body or the neck the headstock It was in perfect condition and checked everything out and looked it over and turned it up Tuners are very accurate and work really well and the strings are the right gauge for my playing style Love the Blue color and no flaws or issues on finish what so ever Squire has come a long way on how they make their guitars in the past 15 years and their right up there with the Fender Quality more expensive guitars that is on the market with American made Fender electric I think the Squire guitars are as good or even better than top American made Fenders Give it 5 stars for these nice playing guitars and did not have to make any adjustments on it sbd was ready to play right out of the box

Feels like a tele and sounds like a tele. Its got a pretty fat neck, a little on the heavier side, but for the money it's really a great guitar

The only reason I am giving this a 4 and not 5 stars is because mines didn't come with a stripe pattern on the back of the guitar neck for some reason. Other than that it plays really great I would recommend this especially for sound and smoothness it has! The noise is not too bad but you can bypass it no biggie, overall worth the money!
