Squiers have always seemed to do me just well in performance, and I have played and own my fair share of them. They do have an authentic sound to them, especially for Blues! Cheers

Controversial statement: the Classic Vibes are the MIJs of our time.

I just had one of these 50s Strats in Fiesta Red delivered today. Quarter turn of the trus rod was all it needed out of the box. The intonation was surprisingly good, and It's so much fun to play. Plus the damn thing just sounds fantastic. Rob is always an amazing player, but Lee is the one who sold me on this guitar.

Me: "Why can't YOU sound like that?!"

Squier: "Probably because you SUCK."

It's actually insane how good value for money entry level guitars are now.

Really pleased I chose one of these (70's) when I decided to have another go at learning after a 40 year break!

London, late 60s: Eric Clapton, Cream, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, King Crimson... God, I'll be forever grateful to UK for this...
I had many fender American instruments in my life, sometimes very expensive and now, the ones I use the most are Squier models made in Indonesia: terrific. Unbelievable guitars for the price.

I was a teenager in the 1960's and was lucky enough to see Hendrix, The Doors, The Who and The Byrds, just to name a few of many many more and at affordable prices and crowds that enabled you to actually see the bands!

i have owned a squire classic 70's headstock vibe strat for about 10 years.... it is more than a person like myself needs... im an amateur on the sofa learning you tube riffs, thats enough for me..im never joining a band... my guitar enthusiast friends have played it and really liked it.. thats proof for me... the only upgrade i did was fit a fender logo on the headstock... it sounds much better now..

[Will-mnjf]

The sound when you two play together is brilliant!

I have squier classic vibe 50s Strat. Really great guitar. Learned everything on it

[LDN_MZK]

All the chatter in the beginning was fun and added to the video. Love it! I'm a huge Squier fan. They are really hitting the nail on the head, especially Indonesia-made versions, great guitars!

Just got myself a squier CV 60's and it's amazing. Fantastic value guitar

I got last years 50s classic vibe Strat and it is a lot of guitar for the money. I actually like 9-42 strings on it, but agree the original strings are pretty cheap. Get some good strings and it helps bring the guitar to life.

[professoroak]

Is it just me or has The Captain really improved on guitar?

[bigchezzy]

I bought the white tortoise shell 70s strat (previous edition) being shown, it's great. Plays great, sounds great and looks great.

[Elena-qtih]

It's just randomly turned out that I have exactly Rob's combo - 70's classic vibe + Katana mk2. I already was happy with my choice, but now I'm really kinda proud of myself for being noob but choosing some good stuff at the same time. I guess you could never go wrong with vintage-ish strat

[Antoniu]

I have two Strat CV's and they are never far from me. A 2016 50's all original and a 60's with real dark rosewood fretboard but replaced the bridge and the pickups for the Fender's Vintage '57 & "62 set of pu's. Sounds amazing!

[louisjwiese]

Yeah, I like Squier, and actually I like Epiphone too. Good low to mid level guitars that, in many cases, perform close and sometimes equal to the big boys.

[esquiers]

Pringles are my favorite crisps here in Maine, USA. Always loved Squier guitars for obvious reasons.
