Squier SA-105CE NA

I bought this guitar as it is the cheapest I can find under Fender's flagship for my local church. What caught my attention with this guitar is the fishman built in pre-amp that blew me away how crisp the sounds are when finally hooked it in an amp. Previously played with a Yamaha guitar from a friend but this simple guitar makes a lot of difference between the two.

Yes it is cheap and not sturdy compared to expensive ones I admit but it is one of the amazing guitar I ever played. I wonder how much better it will be if I spend more than that on a Fender electro acoustic.

Anyway, completely happy that manage to get it cheap from Thomann as they saved my day again. Would you believe that I can't find a decent electro acoustic guitar with this price here in the UK, not alone in a bundle.

So try it and I am sure you won't be disappointed if you want to buy this guitar as a beginner but be warned that this can change opinion to an experience guitarist.

I have played guitar for 5 years now and have played dozens of guitars and having bought this guitar for my sister as a beginner guitar and having now played it several times myself I can say that it's a great buy for the price. The tuner is fantastic as well as being a great convenience when trying to tune in a loud environment and the sound is as good as you're going to get for a guitar in this price bracket and it feels great to play! I would highly recommend this to any beginner guitarist.

My only piece of criticism is that after some down tuning and 6 months of frequent usage, there are strong signs of fret buzz which worries me as it can be quite costly to address that problem, a problem which shouldn't be encountered so soon in a guitar. Any guitarist who plans to gig quite a bit and especially if they intend to use alternate tunings, they may find that they'd be better off with a slightly higher range guitar.

But other than that, I was relatively pleased with the overall quality of the guitar!
