I would buy a guitar because it is comfortable (which would require it being well made, finished properly) and sounds good -- or can be rendered as such with minimal effort.
I wouldn't NOT buy a Squier because of the name, any less than I wouldn't buy a MIM Fender because it's MIM. If you feel really strongly to the contrary, search for Jack Pearson and then see if you still feel the same way after watching him play, see how many great players think so highly of Jack, ...and see him consistently playing Squiers.

Gee, I sure hope that a commemorative or anniversary edition of the frontman 10g amp is also available! What a sweet setup that would be!!! smh....
I know that many of you here on slickdeals LOVE you some squiers but, at the end of the day, they are worth only the value placed on them by the owner (who is usually trying to convince himself that he has "the same thing" as a fender and ultimately not feel like someone who cheaped out on buying a nice instrument they can own for however long and get their money back out of it if they ever decide to sell it).
No one wants those things...and I don't blame them. I don't want a walmart guitar either.
