I love my mexican Telecaster standard. Bought it in High School after saving up the money for over a year, and it's been my go-to ever since. Pickups are smooth with tons of high-end, it stays in tune even with my heavy-handed struming, and it's never failed me. I play mostly alternative/indie/shoegaze style music, and I work full-time as a worship leader at a church, and this is guitar has been everything I've ever needed.

Bought this on a whim, always wanted an offset style guitar and needed something with humbuckers to fill a gap in my collection. I'm blown away with the quality and the fit and finish on this instrument. I have absolutely no complaints. The pickups are super solid, and there's a ton of versatility between the coil split and series/parallel switches. Despite being a Squier, this thing contends with my Fender guitars all day.

First things first: this is a budget multi-effects unit. It costs a very tiny fraction of what the big names in effects processing do, so it's important to temper your expectations. At this price point, you can't ask for anything better. You can build your signal chain any way you like, and the amount of blocks for adding effects is more than enough to get any sound you're looking for. It's amazing for an all-in-one practice rig, and it's a great simple and portable solution for gigging as well. I use this thing exclusively when playing bass and acoustic guitar live, and I've even used it at the end of my pedal chain when playing electric as well. Makes for an awesome choice when you need to go direct to an interface or PA system. Some of the amp models can be a little lacking, which is where the cost comes into play. But with a little tweaking they're all playable, and many of them are truly fantastic. The stock IR's are not great, but you have the option to load your own, which most players would likely choose anyway. If you need something small and portable that's able to cover almost any situation, I recommend this little unit!
