At this price, you're basically losing money if you don't buy it right? 😬

So the same price as eBay with the coupon now. Only reason to order from eBay in that case is if you have gift cards. Smilie

Just got mine…FSR Telly with a burnt orange color. Perfect finish no dings. Shipped in the fender box. Not so sure about the colored headstock now that I see it across the room. But easy to find in the rack.

Gosh, those volume knobs are... so flimsy. They are not very smooth to turn. Is that normal?

sharp end on every fret bar, the build quality is much worse than my $60 monoprice guitar.

I really like the humbucker sound, too bad this one has sharp frets, the volume knobs are very flimsy too, I don't know if I'm just unlucky to get a bad copy. Also the neck has a lighter brown color compared to the website (it's like covered by a very thin dust). I expected a darker brown as shown on the website.

I got it from Guitar Center and it's made in 2022.

Does anyone else notice the sharp frets? It's the major issue that bothers me the most.

That sucks. Will they exchange it?

I owned one of these a few years ago. REALLY liked it. Passed it on to a friend's son who needed an electric.

Man.. the sharp frets...I just can't stand them, they hurt my fingers. I own many many cheap guitars, some of them have sharp frets too but those guitars are like $50, $60 dollars, a Fender Squier one shouldn't have such low quality.

Also, there's a gap along the edges of the pickup, see https://imgur.com/a/NrURp2R

It's so large even a cockroach can get in.

I bought it purely for the color but it's not what I expected. It looks much cooler/prettier on the website. I'm going to return it, I guess it doesn't have the same quality as before.

I might get that $300 Gretsch P90 instead.
