Squiers

Droquen	Date: August 30, 2004 @ 4:10 AM I own a Squier Affinty Stratocaster. Got it in one of those bundles for Christmas. It's my only electric guitar I've ever owned and was wondering what opinions people had of the Squier line. Do you think it compares to the Gibson-Epiphone line? Is it a cheap piece of crap? I've personally had no problems except for fretbuzz, but as far as the sound goes...no complaints. The again, I've only been playing guitar for about a year and a half so maybe I haven't developed an ear for those things yet. Anyway, post your comments.

joshmerfi	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 3:30 AM I don't like a lot of the affinity stuff personally, but some higher end squiers are pretty sweet. I owned a squier venus for a long time and it was my main guitar, but I eventually upgraded to a fender strat. squier's are good for the price, but most of their best guitar lines have been discontinued.

C-Side	Date: September 29, 2004 @ 11:18 AM I own a Squier Bullet Strat, and have been told repeatedly I won't liek it once I get a new guitar. However I use it for recording and will soon be playing with other guitars, and it manages that for now....so my opinion would be fine for a beginner but when you get a new guitar you'll wonder how you ever played one.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: September 29, 2004 @ 2:40 PM ^^^^That's just what I'm saying. I had Squier Strat and when I started getting better, I listened and played my friends guitars and found out it sucks.

jeddak	Date: November 9, 2004 @ 10:33 PM My friend's son has a Squier strat and I have to say, the quality of those babies has gone way up over the years. $150 buys you a lot of guitar now. It's not a bad guitar at all - very clean joints, good finish, well-adjusted, sounds like the real deal.
