Squier Sonic Stratocaster California Blue

Despite other guitars, I treated myself to the Sonic-Strat, which I am very happy about. It arrived within three days, perfectly packaged (kudos to the Kirstein team here). I have no faults to criticize, except for the partially wobbly standard tuners, which were immediately replaced with better ones. Otherwise, the instrument is very easy to play and impeccably finished. Even the strung strings are from bad parents and stay on for the time being. In a direct comparison with a Mexican-made Fender, it doesn't come off too badly. In fact (in my opinion), it feels much better in the hand than the far more expensive Tex-Mex-Strat and the ceramic pickups (SSS) sound good (to my ears, which can be very individual for everyone) in combination with my amplifiers (Fender, Orange Boss).

An absolutely solid guitar and unbeatable for this price. Also suitable for beginners or advanced players.
I will change the pickups because I am a big fan of the Seymour Duncan humbuckers.

It was set up perfectly on delivery. So I played it straight away. The color is an eye-catcher!
