Can't wait for the white Esquire with maple fretboard. Just found a Fender Double Tap humbucker pickup used for $50, it's an absolute budget build. I hope we get a full review at some point, whether or not the body is routed for an HH setup under the pickguard, and if it has full body thickness. For a mod project this is a relative cheap way to get an HH body, if it has those options.

Cool video! These look like a fun refresh of the bullet. One quibble- it’s totally untrue that neck/middle pickups exercise enough magnetic pull on the strings to effect the sound of the bridge pickup. This is an old myth.

Yes he should really tell people that it's going to sound the same. People might buy this guitar thinking that it's going to sound great because the neck pickup isn't there.

Some people just don’t want a switch to bump. If they aren’t using it, less to mess up on stage Its not about making the bridge “sound slightly better” its about getting unneccesary stuff out of the way

I REALLY want the Sonic Mustang SS in Torino Red. It's so pretty with the maple fretboard. I already have a Bullet Mustang in Imperial Blue that I modded the crap out of with a neck shim to pitch it back slightly, P90s, locking tuners, roller trees and a white pearl pickguard, but the new Sonic is just begging me to buy it. I'll probably lightly mod it too, at least locking tuners, roller trees and maybe a different color pickguard.

I really want the tobacco burst mustang ss ! Modded my bullet mustang lake placid blue too. First i put in p90,later changed to a black ss pickguard with a hotrail and installed a coil split switch,and a single coil in neck position. Thinking of putting a pearl pickguard in the new one,maybe a quarter pound copy (from roswell) in the bridge,did that to my jaguar,sounds great for distortion.

What I want to know is how good the action is. It is not a bargain guitar if it arrives with fret sprout and high frets impeding the playability. Neither should the intonation be off. It does not go from China to my doorstep so Fender should have techs to intervene before shipping it's last 'mile'.

Picked up an hss today. The action is very nice, maybe a smidge high but really nothing to grumble about. The frets are nothing short of astonishing. No sprout, nice and smooth, maybe a hint of a sharp edge on one or two of you go looking for it l, but at this price.. Wow!

The one that is completely black is very beautiful, the advantage is that it is also affordably priced. I prefer the ones made in Mexico in the Fender group. I think they are of slightly better quality and I find that they are more than enough, even for professionals. However, even the Squier’s that I presume are made in China must be very decent .

Hi, I'm now the proud owner of two, yes two Squier sonics, one a right hand sun burst Strat and a Black Squier sonic Lefty! You might wonder why the Lefty? Well I'm an ancient newby and found that I was suferring a lot of pain in my left thumb (possibly arthritis?) so I thought that a Lefty might be the answer! Too soon to say, but the Black looks really cool, maybe I'llend up playing like David Gilmore (not much chance of that!) cheers ~Richard 🎸🎸

Those actually sound quite good, but you have pretty good amps behind you mate ;) I'm looking for a cheap strat.. I had an 1972 hard tail US srtatocaster (my first and best electric guitar that I have ever owned) for over 25 years. Had a rough period in life at one point and pawned it for 1000€ and never picked it back again. Dumb, dumber, me.. God i miss that guitar. Similar ones go now for +6000€.. But that's life. Instruments come and go. Could by a real strat, but just looking for something to play at home along with my tele.. Thanks from the review!

Is the esquire routed in the neck area or is it solid? I'm hoping its solid with no routing for a pickup. I hope its not just a regular tele body with a pickguard covering the routed area.

I bought the squier sonic Hss in coral this past 6 months and all that is left of it is the neck and bridge. I kept upgrading until it became another guitar. Be honest, the sonic's are a very low quality budget guitar. If anybody tells you it's as good as an american made Fender, never played one.

I think one of the most important problem on these guitars are the looks First: the one ply pickguard İt doesnt look like a 50's strat it just makes the guitar more like a toy then a real guitar especially on strats I had the bullet series and I live in EU so I had the chance to get a white one and I changed the pickguard to a 3 ply one immiedately after it came and it looks way way better Second:especially maple necks looks unfinished maybe you guys will say "you cant wait a nitro finish on this price" hell yeah I can for 200 bucks you can buy a SX stratocaster and it would have a 3 ply pickguard and a nice finished neck But if you like the looks of the guitar its just goergous at this price point
