Squier Guitar or Bass

Squier is a brand of musical instruments that serves as a budget-friendly alternative to the prestigious Fender line. Originally founded as a string manufacturer in the late 19th century, the brand was acquired by Fender in the 1960s. Today, Squier instruments are designed by Fender but produced in various facilities across Asia, specifically in Indonesia and China, to maintain lower costs while adhering to Fender's design specifications. The brand is highly regarded for quality student-level and intermediate instruments, often carrying names such as Classic Vibe, Affinity, or Bullet series. It remains a key component of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation portfolio.
