  • Just received mine last night, so we will see. I will update as I know more
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
12.20.24 Full disclosure. I am 62 years old. My journey of learning to play started about 20 years ago with the intent of trying to learn to play, or at least play portions of the music I grew up loving. The first song I focused on was Led Zeps Rain Song. A beautiful song with some unique tuning and chords. I would say I got about 95% of it down and was very pleased with my progress. I ventured into other songs and enjoyed discovering the many different learning aids available online. As life sometimes does, things got in the way and I drifted away from my guitar time. Recently I decided to pick it back up, I am an empty nester and it is just me. It is time to rediscover the joy of making music, learning things and otherwise just enjoying my guitar time again. I am trying to be realistic however, I am not throwing a lot of money at top of the line equipment. As much as I would love a genuine Gibson Les Paul or Fender Strat, I know my ability and budget does not support that. So, I did some reading and looked at some other options. I recently bought an Epi Les Paul and have been very pleased with its construction and playability. Take that last statement with a grain of salt as I am still very much in-between a beginner and a intermediate player. Anyway, the Les Paul feels and sounds great. I also had wanted to play a Strat. So as much as I hate the name "Squire" I decided to pick one up. So far I am a little concerned with some string buzz but a simple adjustment may take care of that. Also, I am not crazy about the tuning machines as they seem very loose. Will monitor to see if they hold proper tuning. May have to put some after market machines on it. Otherwise the guitar is solid and I have not noticed any blemishes or other issues. It has a beautiful finish and looks really good. I will update this review as I settle into a definite opinion with time. I believe these reviews are helpful for us and I enjoy reading them when I am considering making a purchase. 12/31 UPDATE. Now that I have had some time to get to know the guitar and do some practicing, I love it. So far the tuning pegs are holding very well, only minor adjustments needed which probably more about the new strings than anything else. I love the fell and action on this guitar. ... show more

  • Playing is believing.
Style: 70s Color: Olympic White
The Squire Classic Vibe series of electric guitars are an incredible value. It’s hard to believe you can get a Strat this good at this price point but they really are great. The quality of construction, the pickups, niceties such as a bone nut and a beautiful flawless finish along with great playability and classic Fender tone make these guitars a steal at this price. The setup was fine out of the box and I was playing in minutes after tuning up. In fact I wound up playing for hours until it was two in the morning here because I was having so much fun with it! I was plugged into Fender’s GTX 100 modeling amp (with headphones on!) trying it out with various tones and the sound was great. What a blast! I am not going to compare this to other Stratocasters made by Fender although I can tell you that over two decades ago I owned a Custom Shop Strat and Tele as well. Of course you don’t get that for under $500. Each of the Fender product lines incrementally improves various aspects of the instrument as much as possible at a given price point. What I can say is that the Squire Classic Vibe guitars truly are a great value for the money. Both I just purchased are fun to play, are well made with good quality parts and best of all give you that Fender tone you want. Pair any of them that pleases you with your amp of your choice and let the fun begin! By the way, the other Classic Vibe I bought was a Tele in Butterscotch Blond of course because Classic! It’s nice too. I could have bought one or the other in MiM form for about the same money and yes it would be a little nicer but I wouldn’t say dramatically so. I have no regrets. I don’t think you will either if you decide to get one or more too! ... show more

  • Like it, works great, would buy again.
Style: 70s Color: Natural
Nice. Needs a little setup, the frets were a little sharp, but I used a soft file and just brushed over the edges and that took care of the frets. Sounds good, plays well, but the action is a little high, at least for me. For the price it is an exceptional guitar. I am pleased.

  • Great mid level guitar.
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
Bought like-new through 3rd party. Excellent delivery time and came in original packaging. As for the guitar, GREAT axe for the price. The fender pickups are very warm. The headstock reminds me of my dad's 67 Fender, large and polished. Feels like a $1500 guitar for a third of the price. I've only had it a week but very happy. ... show more

  • Plays great! Looks great!
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
First, this is such a pretty guitar! The finish is a wood/walnut/reddish color. I love the look of the vintage aged white. It plays like a dream too! It's my favorite guitar I've ever had.

Guitar arrived very well packed. It was almost in tune and needed little setup to start playing it. It’s a nice addition to my collection.

  • Don’t be Fooled by the Squier Name! Nice Guitar!
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
I was reluctant to make this purchase as I purchased an affinity Strat in the past and got rid of it quick. I am very impressed with this guitar! There really isn’t much needed to upgrade. I have owned several MIM strats. This Squier is a far better guitar than those. Love the vintage tuners, thought I would upgrade them but honestly they are solid! Neck is nice. Some fret spout I had to file down. Intonation was spot on out of the box. Stays in tune. I did upgrade pickups to Tex Mex as well as pots and electronics. It has found its voice! Unbelievable guitar for the price! I would take this guitar over the MIM any day! ... show more

  • Good guitar; scratchy frets
Style: 70s Color: Olympic White
Weight: pretty light Neck: Like every other budget guitar, it needs fretwork. Although there arent any high frets (honestly amazing), bending a string is not a fun experience since the frets are barely crowned. That being said, that's the only explicit problem I found with the guitar. The fretboard is really dry and needs oil. You'll find that on pretty much all squiers with the laurel fretboard. Electronics: The electronics all work. The pickups are voiced accurately for the era. Tuners: I'll probably replace the tuners with locking tuners since the ones that come on these classic vibes suck. There is a ton of slack but that's just how they all are. Bridge: the bridges on classic vibes suck, just like they did in 1970! Buy a nice 2 point trem for $50. Fit/finish: Seems really good. Great looking guitar for sure. Overall: The only thing "wrong" with this guitar was the fretwork being super scratchy. Other than that the issues are just what come with buying lower budget guitars. If you want to maximize function per dollar, buy a squire affinity or an ibanez strat thing. If you buy this guitar, replace the tuners, replace the bridge, and get some fretwork done, you'll be $600 in and have a really great guitar. The benefits of spending an extra $200 on this over an affinity are that this guitar looks much better, and the electronics are way better. ... show more
