40th Anniversary lineup is excellent.

Some info:
Crafted in Indonesia (in the Samick plant... this is a gooood thing, those folks know what they're doin)
*real* bone nut, *excellent* necks, and though divisive I actually prefer these Samick-made "fender inspired" pickups they're putting in the range to the fender pickups they're emulating (They aren't the cleanest sounding, but who tf is playing clean these days.... Eric Clapton ig lol)

...hardware is.... okayish. I have the Jazzmaster, and a Jazz Bass from this series... and I haven't had any real issues with either bridge, but the tuners on the J bass leave a bit to be desired.

Also worth noting that if you go in to shield it, you're probably going to have some cleanup to do in the cavities first.

Both my copies had a perfect neck pocket, but a friend of mine got a P-Bass after seeing mine, and had to reset the neck because there was a bit too much paint in the joint.

None of these reasons would keep me from recommending these instruments. Fantastic price TU.

Edit:
A couple things I forgot to mention-
Fretwork is good, my j bass and my buddy's p bass had perfect crowning on our fretwires, on my jazzmaster I had to recrown 2 wires, that had microscopic knicks in them (which caused some buzz)

As far as shipping (if they're new... they're new right? lol) Squier has in fact learned their lesson over the years... they are well packed in a braced box, and they'll come set up well enough that you can more than likely just tune it and play, if you don't wanna fuss with it.
Geez! At this price, its almost irresponsible to NOT buy it.

This is ugly af.
Agreed but it's the gold pickguard that does it. A mint green, white, or black pickguard would fix it. Unless you just hate the Seafoam Green color entirely.

All you have to do is change out the yellow teeth-looking pick guard and it's a great looking guitar. Unfortunately it's nothing but single coil pickups, but for those who are into that, you're set. There are worse guitars for more money.

FWIW, that pickguard is anodized aluminum. It won't warp and lift from the body like the plastic ones I've seen on other Strats.

They must have raised the price. I don't see anything around that after factoring the coupon.

They did. It was $99.99 earlier before coupon and I had one in my cart but hadn't checked out yet.
Now they're $149.99.
So because they're on sale, they raised the price, and now cost more than they did before the sale. Nice move.

The Samick shop is using the same spec on their tools as Fender Mexico, so you get a really consistently playable instrument from them. So you know, CV are made at that same location. (Maybe at some point there were some out of the Chinese shop that doesn't really adhere to standards but as far back as I can remember it was Samick).

In the end all that matters is that, you're right on Crafted in Indonesia fender stuff (squier, guild) being very very good.

I wish I knew how much these weighed, seeing how they have a Nato body. Not likely to be light would be my guess.
