This, my friends, is one of the best Squier Strat I've come across. It's haunting me ever since I tried it 2 days ago...Unlike the Squiers of yesterday, the current cohort are much well constructed & pieced together, the overall QC is also more reputable. As such, I've no issues with physical anomalies with this one; the 'Deluxe' tag here also implies more accomplishments in this department. The action on board is a fair one; neither too low nor too high, just nice for shred/ bluesy bends. The neck is one of the straightest I've spotted- well done Squier!
The highlight here is absolutely those Duncan Designed Hot Rails (HR 101) pickups, the trio is just menacing for high drive/distortion work. They don't muddle up notes which is good news indeed, especially for us dweebs who are neck pickup inclined for solos.
How about those abominable, protruding screws vintage string saddle bridge? None here, look carefully, it's the Synchronus Twin-Pivot type which won't stab your hands; very pleasant encounter.
For those of us looking for a magnificent backup or that elusive first guitar which won't break the piggy, this is highly recommended. Forgive the Blackmore aura, yes?
PS: Darling, this is proof enough, yes? That good things need not cost us a bomb... :-)
