There are some fresh Squiers at Swee Lee, I tried the John 5 Telecaster here- thumbs up to craftsmanship & tone! The J5 is very much a distortion-inclined instrument which is devoid of the Tele twang whatsoever. Do take note of the quirk- the guitar is equipped with a dual volume control so to those of us who find the inherent tone a little too bright to our liking, do the EQ tweaks at the amp or get the instrument modified in this aspect.
It's listing for $963 so the implication here is that it's not a starter unit but a mid-priced player instead.

squiers are no longer starter units only. even Accept's bassist uses one!

thanks for the re-iteration :-) the manufacturer did well by expanding the options, we now have mid-priced units to consider, regardless of whichever superstar embraces them. it's also good to know that Fender's custom shop individuals had a hand in the inputs of selected models.
