How Squier is able to offer these at such affordable prices is completely beyond me.
It has so much luxury features (including coil splitting and a bone nut???), it looks stunning and plays beautifully, probably one of the most comfortable guitars I've played in ages.
It arrived in perfect condition, and the only gripe with the setup was that the intonation wasn't completely flawless, but that took like 10 minutes to fix, so it's a none-issue. This guitar alone is enough reason to consider using Squier over Fender, whose only upside is purely build quality and manufacturing. Squier is offering so many more interesting and unique guitars, loaded with features and personality that you would easily have to fork over $2000+ for if you wanted the equivalent from a Fender.
Squier is here to stay. 10/10
