My experience with Squier has always been very good. They are the budget subsidiary of Fender and they have always produced fantastic guitars at the budget price point.
Last night, I bought this 2012 Squier Bullet Stratocaster from a young lady who had no time to learn playing the guitar. It was a little dusty and the strings were a little rusty. But, just like the Silverstone (also from a young girl), the guitar had been well taken care of.
After cleaning her up, this Squier is ready to chime or rock. I had a brief moment playing her. Expectedly, she is good. And the lady let her go for 60.
