This guitar is awsome! I have had the oppurtunity once to play an American Standard Strotocaster and it completely blew my mind with its sound (the fender strat sound!), besides, I've always loved stratocasters. Why not? It's so cool and you can see strats almost with every legend! You know what I mean. I've always wanted a Fender Strat but the budget is a bit too much for me and so I started to seach for an affordable Stratocaster. This led me to discover about the Squier guitars and Squier is a subsidiary of Fender i.e. Squier is owned by Fender (parent company), and they make startocasters and telecasters which all comes at an affordable price. To be honest, these squier guitars are no less than Fender guitars. Moreover, the 'Squier Classic Vibe' series (the 50's and the 60's models) are the top models in the range of squier guitars. These classic vibe series are the best in class! I've bought a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster in the sunburst colour and I'll tell you all the truth, IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO PLAY! This guitars feels great, it plays great, it looks great, it's just the best in every aspect you can think of. Trust me, it feels absolutely like a Fender Strat though a bit lighter which you may think of it as a plus point over a fender strat.If you are a guy like me who wants to buy a Fender strat but you cant afford Fender than look no further. The Squier Classic Vibe Series is the right guitar for you! Trust me it will not dissapoint you, infact, you would be overwhelmed because it would be something more than you would expect. Also, the BAJAAO delivery is awsome! It's packaging is great and in no way it would harm your new guitar. I've personally felt that this is the best packaging one can do. So go ahead! Big thumbs up from me and 5 stars of course !!!!
