      Definitely cool to see. I am confused as to what Squier's strategy is with now having 3 sub-$200 budget models. Seems it'd be smart to get rid of the Bullets completely and put everything under Debut or Sonic.

      That is possible. Also fender increase the price of their professional iI. I think there was also a price bump with their other series. This price increase would push consumers to by alternative brands. If fender want to keep customers to by their lower status models they reduced the price to challenge the other imitation markets. Okay I can't afford a 1.8k fender, then I will move down to vintera, players plus, squire CV, Affinity, then I have sonic or debut. Don't need to look for off brands while squires have the licensed fender strat shape (i think). I wonder will this "debut" series get extended to other guitar models i.e. telecaster, jazzmaster, even basses.

    @cdavidlake2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I have to say I'm *highly* impressed. It's a Squier for a Monoprice price (which can be good, but their QC is nothing like Fender's). I actually really like the satin finish - pretty unique for a Strat. Reminds me (cosmetically) of the 40th Anniversary mattes. So far I've had nothing to really complain about. It's like going back in time to when Bullets cost what they should. The big mystery, though, is why Fender is being so quiet about it. Last time I checked these weren't even on their website. Very strange.

    • @ArtOfShredYT

    I am going to take a look at these. In 2005 I bought a Squire for a friend at Guitar center for about 120.00- It had a great neck sounded good. I bought it for a friend. I think if I were to buy an entry level, I heard Guitar center has some nice (Chinese) squire stratocaster stuff, maple fretboard etc for 250.00- I think I would be more comfortable spending the 250.00 rather than an Amazon instrument. Guitar center will let you play many, untill you find one that feels good. These guitars are not created equal. In addition, there is a 45 day return policy.-Great video, thank you- God bless.

    Instead of buying an expensive fender strat, I bought a Squier Stratocaster from a friend of mine for cheap. I replaced the pickups with the Fender Deluxe alincos, and installed new Fender Electronics in it. Had to sand the neck a little, and put a new Muliti ply pick guard on. It feels and plays great, and has its own originality to it.

    I might get one to use as a mod platform. Like a loaded pickguard with alnico v pickups, locking tuners and a nicer bridge/trem block. I will say though, there's another guitar that I got for $120 that's better than my Affinity Strats. It's the Fojill mahogany light relic Strat. The mahogany body has amazing tone and sustain, it has a roasted maple neck with kluson vintage split post tuners. The tuning stability is crazy. I tuned it up after breaking in a set of new Fender 9s and it hasn't been out of tune since and that was months ago. The trem system and electronics were cheap, but once I upgraded those, it's almost as good as my Fender MIM Standard. And it came with a really nice padded gig bag.

    I wonder if this is more or less replacing the "Starcaster By Fender" Strat that used to be sold in a starter pack in places like bookstores. That was a terrible naming decision, because they have the Starcaster (the semi-hollow), which has been making a comback for several years with the Squier models, and now the Tom Delonge sig model.

      It's a tough one to pass up BUT if you already have a budget Strat that you like then you don't need it. I will say I'm liking it more than my Affinity at the moment, but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me for now

    Hi, Art. Yes, there are some good inexpensive guitars coming out of China recently; I bought a Squire Stratosonic earlier this year, and though I might replace the pickups, it is otherwise very impressive. But a Strat at less than half the price? Yet I'm not terribly surprised; believe it or not, I have an Indonesian HH (S-D) Fender Tele; it seems Fender is prepared to move MIM to Indonesia while moving Squire to China. I might feel sad about that, except I've already got two MIMs which perhaps will increase in value as a result. Don't know if Fender is being smart, but they obviously are willing to take risks. And good on them.

      I think Fender/Squier is being both smart and perplexing here haha. Will see what happens, but if the quality is consistently this good at this price then I think they'll dominate the ultra budget market.
      I think MIM will stay MIM though. They're not going to give up that quality factory they've spent years investing in.

      @ArtShredYT Actually, in terms of pickups, MIM has been superior to lower-line Americans for the last few years. "Noiseless"? More like toneless. But generally beginners can't go far wrong with Fender OR Squire.

    Fender just expects you to buy their Junk based on name. When other companies showed how inexpensive they could do it and better Fender got scared they would lose some money.

    Comes poorly packaged no gig bag or accessories. Way better choices. And funny everyone is jumping on a cheap as can be made Squire. For just a few dollars and I mean a few there are much better choices. For about 40 dollars more and shipping you can get a Firefly with stainless frets/locking tuners/alnico pickups. Fender just caught on how overcharging people all this time has caught up to them.
