Surprisingly good
Got this second hand very cheaply and it's easily comparable to my 2011 Fender Mexico Classic 70s. Neck is incredible. Pickups surprisingly good too. Only weakness is the horrible tuners (note, Kluson size posts - headstock will need drilling out for more 10mm types) and cheap bent metal vibrato "block" and nasty saddles. Will be replacing both. Pots are cheap but still work in 2020 after a clean with contact cleaner. Mine has bullet trussrod with a sensibly sized 5mm bolt instead of the daft size Fender use. These were available with a myriad of names on the headstock and are easily a better buy than a new Squier Vintage Vibe and, provided you invest in a few parts upgrades, can easily perform on par with a new Mexican Fender Vintera for less than half the price including upgrades, if you can live without the microtilt feature for the neck. Routing with rectangular pickup recesses isn't exactly elegant but works as well as the original type. Things modders should be aware of - pickguard is not quite standard Fender dimensions. Control cavity is a little shallow and needs a little routing out if used with a Fender size pickguard.
