I'm amazed at the quality that is coming out of Chinese factories these days. It used to be that you really had to spend a lot to get any quality, but not anymore. I think that some people get snobby because they drift away from being a musician and become gear enthusiasts. Maybe they think they'll play better on a more expensive guitar, maybe they want to look like their idols. Also, some people get fixated on tone and don't realize that most listeners in a live setting don't care too much about your tone. And if tone is so important, to me the richest tone comes from an acoustic anyway. No offense to anyone, since I've definitely felt myself pulled in that direction too. I'm almost envious that beginners can start on such a good instrument these days.
If you are a beginner, know that you have to set up an electric guitar, even an expensive one. Look it up, but it means you have to adjust the action and intonation at the saddles. Also the neck relief might need to be adjusted with the truss rod, especially if you change string gauges. This is completely normal and if you are complaining about string buzz, 99% of the time you are just showing that you don't know anything about guitars. The nut is cheap plastic, but works adequately. Yeah, the frets are gritty, but that goes away and you can polish them if it bothers you that much. The frets do, however, seem to be a soft metal and there was already a little fret wear when I got it. I've leveled and crowned frets before, so I'm not put off by that. Also, there were no sharp or uneven frets or anything like that and I can lower the action as low as I want to, so it's been constructed to good tolerances. There are hairline neck pocket cracks, which I usually can't stand, but I'm OK with on a guitar at this price point. Maybe quality varies between individual instruments, but I got one that someone returned and I really like like it. I never in my life considered buying a Squire until I happened upon this Amazon page and never considered buying a guitar from Amazon either. Now I've since bought another (more expensive) guitar from Amazon and I can't believe how happy I am with them after disappointments (and stress) buying guitars from other websites that will remain nameless. In conclusion, there isn't much cheaper that a guitar can get and this is a good guitar for someone at any level, delivering a tremendous value.
I haven't found anything to negative to complain about in terms of playability, and I pick this thing up for at least one hour every single day. Granted, I've never held a $1,000+ axe before, but from my experience this is an excellent product. I chose the Telecaster specifically because after doing a ton of research I hearing about them being extremely versatile and capable of any genre that you'd want to play. Considering that I had to be careful with my budget, this was the clear choice (although I also was considering a Stratocaster). The tones that I can get out of this guitar just from adjusting the volume and tone knobs are phenomenal! Volume all the way up with tone rolled back to about 70% is my favorite thus far!
The only negative that I have about the purchase (and the reason I've rated it as 4 stars instead of 5) is that I ordered it in Butterscotch Blonde, and when looking at the pictures I was expecting a bright yellow guitar to arrive. What I received was actually a brownish mustard color (see pictures attached). At first I was a bit disappointed, but after awhile it grew on me. I went ahead and ordered two straps, one brown and one purple. I can throw the purple one on to get a PB&J kind of look or use what I call the "chocolate" brown strap to play on the butterscotch theme. In either case, my guitar looks, feels, and sounds sweet! Thus I've named her, "Sugar". No matter what color you choose, I am certain that this is an excellent choice to either get you started with guitar or even to add to your collection if you've been playing for awhile and just have the urge to expand!

sound really good. I have a Fender Strat, a Fender Tele, a Gibson Les Paul Modern, and several others. But
right now this Squier tele is my favorite. Its light weight and so enjoyable to play. Its my go-to guitar! And
the butter scotch blond is beautiful!

La guitarra llegó en perfectas condiciones, muy bien protegida y la caja incluso envuelta en plástico. El cuello de la guitarra es de buen tamaño y los frets están bien limados (ningun extremo filoso), no se si todas llegan así pero se nota que si se le hizo un tipo de setup al puente.
La guitarra suena fuerte y claro sin conectarse a un amplificador (buena señal de resonancia con el cuerpo de madera).
Las pastillas suenan muy bien pero en el peor de los casos se las puedes cambiar por otras y te sigue saliendo más barato que comprar la telecaster squier más cara.
Yo compré la mía con la intención de ponerle unas fender noiseless nuevas (son las pastillas que Fender anda poniendo en las telecaster fender nuevas que están saliendo muy buenas) y me gustó tanto de momento que planeo disfrutarla un rato más así como está antes de empezar a modificarla.
Guitare avec un beau fini, sonne extrêmement bien, avec le son typique Telecaster,
J’ai évidemment eu quelques ajustements à faire,
hauteur des corde à descendre, un leger coup de clef sur la truss rod pour diminuer la courbe du manche, et la distance des corde avec le bridge, surtout la corde du Mi que j’ai du reculer d’environ 3/16".
Mais en moins de 15 minutes tout était fait. Et je m’attendais à avoir a faire quelques ajustements avec une guitare faite en Indonésie.
Je recommande cette guitare à tous nouveaux guitaristes, à ceux qui veulent ajouter une guitare à leur inventaire sans avoir à payer le gros prix et aussi pour ceux qui veulent un bon backup comme spare.
Cette guitare est une bonne affaire, très content de l’achat!
