These Indonesian and Chinese Squiers are so good these days. I have three and couldn't be happier. I did get a 70s Thinline that had bad fretwork, and the replacement had a bad tone pot so I kept the loaded pickguard from one and the neck from the other, put them both back together and sent one back. The risk is zero due to the return policy, and the chances of getting a bad one are low. However, if you don't know how to play with shimming the neck, adjusting the truss rod and saddle height, you might want to buy one from a store and make sure you get a good one.
I have probably 15 guitars and one of them is a Squier Strat. It's such a great guitar that I bought a 70s Thinline Telecaster and that turned out to be really great too, so I figured I'd go for the trifecta and get a single coil Telecaster. These Squier guitars are so much better looking than Fender versions in my opinion. Yes, the pickups aren't as good, but the bodies, necks finishes and headstock logos are better. Plus, is fun to do upgrades...but they don't need them. Squier headstocks are so much nicer looking than Fender, the font is this gorgeous gold flake, the clear coat is so much better than the Fender satin finish, a thousand times better, plus they're half the price of Mexican and 1/3 the price of American Fenders. The fretwork on the Squier telecasters I've bought recently is beyond great, they're so clean that they'd pass Phil McKnight's stocking test. Plus, if you get a bad one, which is possible, you can return it for a different one. So good!!

I did change a couple of things on mine: 1. a new bridge with the brass saddle; 2. NYXL strings 9/42. Action is set to 1.3~1.5mm for my liking, way lower than factory. I only play clean and this setup sounded amazing. I may upgrade both pickups in the future, but that is just a cherry on top.
Overall, I love how it plays, sounds, and feels. For the price, I can't anything better.
