It depends on which models and when and where it's made.

Some have been terrible, many are awesome for the money! The newer Vintage Modified series, the new Classic Vibes. Those two are excellent! The Deluxe Strat is also great for the money. And yeah, even the standard Squier line uses alder.

Oh, and the Pro Tone's from the 90's were KILLER!

My Classic Vibe '60s Strat is a great guitar. The pickups are great, all the hardware is acceptable, comes with some lower grade electronics... but the craftsmanship is top notch. Sounds and plays great right out of the box.

The sound is great. It's very much a "Strat" sound. Mostly a very mellow vintage sound, with just a tiny bit of bite. It can get punchy and raunchy if you use a boost or OD pedal... or you can use a compressor pedal and get some really nice clean chords out of it. It's got some very nice pickups in it for a guitar in that price range. I love it.

I love my squier vibes, aside from shoddy pots, switch, and skimpy trem block (most mim fenders till recent had those too) They look great, play great, and sound great, just a few inexpensive mods is all she needs to compete with guitars costing MUCH more. i actually sold my MIM fender to get the 60's one (sunburst)

I can see the 3 piece seams pretty clearly in that pic, the grain does match real close, but the stain has a pretty noticable contrast on the center piece.

don't know to much about those squiers Vla. but they are made in China and I think yours is a 2005. The few I have seen are the ones with a hb in the bridge. I never paid any attention to them. Hope this helps. Still make them ? IDK

Squiers use alot of different woods for the bodies. Everything from Alder to Agathis, Basswood, and some of the Koreans were some kind of Ply.

Re: Friends,is a SQUIER by Fender is a good guitar? please tell me the details & comm

Ya like Yogi says , the only body woods I could come up with was Agathis or Alder? Not much info out there. I don't know when but it seems they are no longer made.

Maybe reworked into the CV Squires IDK. If you like it and it plays well thats all that matters. Must be built pretty well if nothing is wrong with it and it is 4 years old. Enjoy.

Oh people did say the neck was a slim profile and played well.

Thats good, what I like about good sounding playing inexspensive guitars is, you don't have to worry about people stealing them , dropping them ,etc.etc.

Rock on

They're allright. I'd put 'em on par with Epiphone in terms of quality.

As long as you don't use the trem bar, it's serviceable.
