Squiers and any low end guitar fender clones are hit and miss. at your local guitar center right now there is a good squier strat and a shit squier strat of the same model for the same price. You have to play a bunch to find one where the neck isn't twisted or fucked, then you're good.
Pickups, hardware, finish are all a meme, an electric guitar is the neck, if you have a good neck you have a good electric guitar.
>if you have a good neck you have a good electric guitar.
Never a truer word spoken. You can get around shitty resonance with good pickups and a booster in the signal chain but a bad neck makes it awful to play. Personally I like a gloss neck but satin finishes are always nice until your hands get hot

It's a company; "by" indicates it's a smaller firm owned by that Fender company.
Classic vibe series are really good, but they are too expensive now.
>squier classic vibe tele £422
>Mexican standard tele £507
>Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified are usually pretty solid
It is a shame they insist on putting so much lacquer on the neck, the pickups and hardware are surprisingly good
This. Some Squiers are relatively good for the buck. Others are obviously to be avoided.
I have a Mexican strat, and it's alright I guess, but I'll probably put in some new pick ups and what-not and then it'll be far out dude
I tries one of these out. It looks really cool but the finish isnt very nice and the neck feels small in my hand. Other than that it sounded pretty good. I ended up buying the fender mustang p90 for not much more and im happy with my purchase.

The Classic Vibe tele (50s) is better than the entry level Fenders and can hold its own against more expensive models. I also played with a Squier Strat Deluxe for years which felt and sounded amazing. In my experience, they've been more hit than miss.
