How well does it stay in tune, frets? Have you felt the urge to switch out the tuners or bridge or does it need the upgrades? I'm really considering buying one of these.
I refuse to pay more than $300 for any guitar. It's just a piece of wood with steel strings and magnetic pickups. They all are. Take your time, find one you like. It's that simple.
Very nice picking mate, also tasteful work on the trem', it just shows that in the right hands a guitar that does not cost the earth to buy sounds really good, well done.
I just got one, and the sound is very close to my 87 American Standard. Surprisingly good quality for such little money. I highly recommend it for beginners or intermediate players, also for a decent backup guitar.
Just bought one off Ebay...wanted to see how they sounded...Don't think I will be disappointed. Have a bunch of high end Gibsons but miss my strat. Thought I'd give this little guy a shot.
Hello! I saw you also own a squier vintage modified strato. Wich one do you prefer and why? I am about to buy one of them, but the vintage is priced $120 dollars more than the Standard series at the music store. Thank very much for any information you can give me!
yeah the Standards are amazing I played a stock 2004 Squier Strat and it blew my mind,it sounded better than almost every guitar under $600 Ive ever played,and better than a few $1000 guitars,the pickups were so bright and clear,but thick too,and took heavy heavy drive great,maybe fender USA acidentally sent squier some pickups?lol.
That would be a hoot!! I am impressed and happy with this one. I love the cherryburst against the mint green pickguard. And the tone is just sweet strat.
That is one fine guitar you've got there.

@homersimps1 I think it keeps in tune as well as any strat can. I haven't felt the need to swap the tuners out.

How does this Strat sound compared to a MIA Fender one? Are they both as twangy?
I'm not just looking for a Strat model guitar, I'm also looking for that hot Strat sound, Strats in general sound a little twangy.
Does this Squier model have some of that characteristic Strat tone?

Probe esta guitarra y una Highway 1 y no note mayores diferencias, excepto en el precio. Compre la Squier.

I agree with that. The Squier is an excellent guitar!
