Good guitar if you know how to set up guitars
Frets - poorly polished, very scratchy when bending. Realy needs a good polish. Few frets are a tiny bit high, would be a problem if you want a realy low action and no buzz. Also few frets are poorly crowned.
Neck - nice, confy and straight
Tuners - seem fine, a bit stiff but I like that.
Pickups - nice sound
Finish - looks good, no problems at the first glance
Setup - bad factory setup. Neck needs a shim. Bridge is resting on the body, which is bad for a jaguar style guitars. It needs to be higher for bridge to move together with the strings when using whamy.
Whhamy - works fine, but lots of mechanical noise when using.
Nut - nice bone note, but could be cut a little diper.
Overal I would not recomend it for beginers. But for those that know how to polish frets, shim the neck and do a good setup - great guitar.

appalling
I initially posted a good review but I have to come back and agree with another reviewer: this guitar is a good wall decoration but the QC at Fender/Squier has been appalling. It indeed buzzes all over, only some settings are more or less ok, and the trem arm holder - a defining feature - is so badly adjusted it touches the strings. The grounding must be so sloppy I don't even touch it and it 's going to go back or to the luthier. Very disappointing after an initial positive experience with the unboxing. Only thing left for itself: great looks, and the neck is perfect for me.
