Review: Lives up to the hype - Honestly very impressed. I own a made in USA Fender Jazz Bass, Mexican Fender Strat, and was convinced by YouTube Reviews that this was worth a punt. It lives up to the hype. I'm not even replacing the pickups. Sounds great, and importantly the neck is very put together. Only down side was the frets needed a polish (bit scratchy) but once done its 👌. If you're beginner looking for a good quality, versatile, affordable guitar to last you - buy this. If you're not a beginner and want to add a Tele to your line up - buy this.
Review: Excellent Squier Fender - Excellent quality guitar, nicely finished frets and low action out of the box, good pickups, though I might change the neck pickup. I fitted Gotoh brass saddles and screed the body with copper tape. Looks great. The body is pine made from 5 separate pieces and is 8 lb in weight. Lovely paint finish. I also polished the frets, only one high fret. Recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do they compare to the Chinese version?**
A: I have owned a Chinese 50s Strat and a 50s Tele. The Tele wasn't bad but I didn't bond with it. The Strat was a truly excellent guitar, and I regret that I had to sell it. 

I recently decided to buy another one. Tried a Chinese 50s Strat and an Indonesian 50s. Everyone can research the specs for themselves so I won't repeat them. In a nutshell, the Indonesian was much heavier, had a thicker neck and far less sophisticated sounding pickups. It also had pure white pickup covers and knobs, which looked cheap compared to the Chinese guitar's aged white. The decision was easy and I went home with the Chinese Strat.

Yes it's a small sample but my findings are the same as those others have found and reported online. You might prefer the changes. I didn't, and trying the guitars back-to-back the two felt and sounded very different.

Hope this helps someone.

**Q: Is this model American or Mexican manufactured?**
A: I have the white version. It says "Crafted in China " on the back of the head. Great guitar for the price.

**Q: Is this like the mexican one? With the strings feel like theyre flat against the fretboard? Easy to play rhythm on**
A: Not played a Mexican telecaster but the Squier 50’s Classic Vibe guitar was nicely set up by Rich Tone and strings were as you ask, close to the fretboard, didn’t need to change intonation or anything. Played really nicely and I’ve used it for rhythm and lead stuff and for me, so far, so good. Would recommend this guitar to anyone.!

**Q: How come these were £369 last week!??!**
A: They are Squier not Fender

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic guitar
*by R***D on 20 November 2023*

This guitar was so cheap on Amazon that I couldn't stop myself buying it and I don't regret it at all. I do already have a Squier CV 50's Telecaster. This one feels and sounds similar but not the same. This guitar looks fantastic, with nice grain and nice finish. The frets were perfect, both in height and length, so no sprouts and no high points. The tuning machines are really good. The F hole edges were a bit rough with excess lacquer which I quickly smoothed out with an emery nail file. The electronics seem fine with precise control and no crackling. The sound is a bit darker than my single coil Telecaster as I expected and it distorts more easily with the humbuckers. All good! The guitar was set up pretty well but the nut was suspect as I was getting a sitar sound on the B string and the strings were sitting in very deep grooves. The guitar needed a twist of the truss rod and when I changed the strings to 10s I decided the not slots weren't right so I replaced the nut with a Tusq one which made it all good. The only thing I might consider changing in the future (see how it goes for now) is the bridge which is probably fine but could be a bit more robust. Overall it's an amazing buy and better in every way as compared to some cheaper Fenders I've seen.
