WHEN I GOT THIS GUITAR AND STARTED PLAYING IT I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT. THE NECK ACTION IS GOOD I WAS BLOWN AWAY. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GUITAR I LIKE. I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS ONE AND USE IT OVER MY OTHER TWO VINTAGE MODIFIED GUITARS. YOU'LL BE HAPPY WITH THIS ONE. GREAT GUITAR

The 51 has the hardtail for those who demand tight tuning, all the time.
Then the pickups offer about everytone you could want with the single coil to the double coil humbucker to the pull-knob for split coil.
I've had three and theyre all great. At this prioce you can't go wrong.
I record with a $1200 Strat and the Squier51 and you cannot tell a difference other than pickups.....so that says it all. It can compete with guitars costing 10x's the price.

This guitar is great value for the money. Very nice neck, good wood used throughout, the overall finish is good, and the pickups also sound great.

I have the guitar on my lap as I'm writing this review. You already know
how much I love this beauty.This is definitely one of the best purchases I've ever made.
Out of the box, it only needed some tuning and fret filing.
I look at this as a high end cheap guitar, which I believe is better than a Low End expensive guitar. I enjoy playing.

I must first write that I really like this guitar; it’s a great addition to my Guitarsenal in that it has its own tone not to mention the look of this one is way too cool but as with any guitar at this price point, it’s best to expect some set up problems and mine was no exception.
