Review: Best budget guitar I have ever seen/played! - Got this guitar after not playing for 10-15 years. Last electric I had was a Fender strat 1962 USA reissue which I had customised with bass frets and heavy strings (Srv period lol). Anyway I didn't expect much from this guitar. Got it and was blown away by the quality of the thing. My only gripe was sharp end frets (painful to play on lol) I but this was easily sorted by a quick fret file down and dress. This and a little setup and seriously - this thing feels and sounds better than my previous USA strat which cost around 1700 all in! Got this on sale for like 110 and honestly it's the BEST guitar I've ever owned. Treated myself to a Boss Katana combo amp and the sound from this guitar is amazing. So for this guitar I would say for out the box: Build quality - 7 (only because of the fret issue but paintwork etc is superb) TONE - 8 (sounds amazing and depending on how hard/soft you play, I and where you play on the neck as well as where you strum, you can get so many different tones from this guitar) Asthaetics/looks - 9 (I got the sunburst and this thing looks brilliant). Overall - 8 (amazing price, so overall great build quality other than fret issue - and sharp frets which pop out from neck, perhaps due to wood shrinking as it dries). Brilliant guitar. I can't see how this guitar thru something like a boss katana could be bettered as far as a great starter guitar its more than that. This guitar setup properly will not only be a starter guitar but it will be with you for the rest of your life. It's that good. AMAZING.
Review: Squier Fender Stratocaster – The Perfect First Guitar - The Squier Stratocaster is everything you could want in a first electric guitar—affordable, reliable, and packed with that classic Strat charm. It’s got the iconic look and feel of a Fender, but at a price that makes it accessible for beginners without compromising on quality. What really stands out is how playable it is straight out of the box. The neck is smooth and comfortable, the action is just right, and the controls are intuitive. Whether you're learning your first chords or experimenting with lead lines, it’s a guitar that makes you want to keep playing. For the price, the value is outstanding. You get a solid build, decent pickups, and a tone that’s versatile enough for rock, blues, pop—you name it. It’s no wonder so many guitarists start their journey with a Squier Strat. It’s a brilliant stepping stone into the world of electric guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the money
*by M***S on 23 August 2025*

My Debut Stratocaster (matt black) is relatively lightweight at 7lbs which is very important for me as I’m not getting any younger. My friend’s weighs in at 6.5 lbs so there are variations in weight. The ceramic pickups are smooth sounding when used with a quality low power valve amplifier. These pickups work really well with most clean/treble boosters. So try one of these pedals before shelling out on replacement pickups. The current Debuts have a slight 60s vintage look with their dark laurel fretboards, no skunk stripe and a 3-ply pick guard. The slim ‘C’ shape neck does have a bit of early 60s Fender feel about it This one feels a little thicker and more tapered than my friend’s Debut. Again, there seems to be variations in neck shape and size with this range. It has a rolled fretboard edge and the back of the neck is very smooth with a ’no finish’ feel (but there is a finish there). The fret ends are finished to an acceptable level with no signs of ’fret sprout’ (this seems to be less of a problem in humid climates). The supplied strings were .009s and sounded and held tune ok. I changed these to Rotosound Pinks. Out of the box, the action was very low with the saddles set high, and it had fret buzz over the fretboard. It had next to no relief (straight neck). After leaving the guitar for a day or two, I adjusted the truss rod to give about 8 to 10 thou neck relief. This got rid of the fret buzz and it played cleanly with a reasonably low action (less than 2mm). The truss rod is dual action type. I don’t know the design of this, but generally the adjustment nuts are not replaceable. So don’t ‘round off’ the hex socket by using the wrong size key or applying too much force. Truss rod adjustment needs to be done by someone who is competent. The tremolo is ‘decked’ at the factory. It makes the guitar easier to tune and keep tune. I’m not sure how well it works if set it to float, but the guitar would probably need a better nut, string tree and possibly saddles. Tuners have worked and hold tune very well. If they feel too tight or slack the little screw on top of the button adjusts the gear meshing. These Debuts are great for money .
