Squier

Squier is the official, more accessible brand owned by Fender, designed to offer high-quality, entry-level versions of Fender’s iconic Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazz Bass, and Precision Bass models. Originally a string-making company acquired by Fender in 1965, the Squier name was resurrected in the 1980s to compete with budget-friendly imports. Today, Squier guitars—particularly the respected Classic Vibe and Affinity series—are renowned for providing genuine Fender DNA, tone, and feel, making them an excellent choice for beginners and experienced players looking for a reliable, affordable instrument.
