Squier 6 String Solid-Body Electric Guitar for Beginners - Right Handed, Black (Model 0373152506) | Perfect for Rock, Blues & Home Practice

First off, this is a first day (unboxing) review, secondly this review is based on that fact that this is a $200 guitar, so expectations are with that in mind.. My 5 stars is for an overall great beginner guitar for an incredible price that showed up with only a couple of issues..It came well packaged and despite UPS shipping from Chicago to Texas, it seems to in great shape, no issues with packaging etcYou get the guitar (obviously), the Tremelo bar, an extra floating bridge spring, the two allen wrenches needed (for Truss rod adjustment and string saddle adjustment) and a generic Fender instruction/warranty sheet (that actually has some set up info on it).. No other accessories (cable, picks etc) are included.Condition of my guitar was pretty much perfect, in that there are no dents, scratches chips etc.. The finish on the body is wonderful,, Printing on the headstock is clean, and the metal (other than the strings is all clean and smooth. Knobs are all on straight, tuners are all lined up even etc..One issue I had is the protective plastic on the pick guard was a pain to remove, as it was installed before the knobs and pickups were installed.. trying to remove it carefully resulted in stuck bits of plastic all around the edges of the pickups and knobs. The plastic stuck under the knobs was enough that it actually made the knobs not turn smoothly. I ended up popping the knobs off the shafts, and was able to remove the remaining plastic, allowing the knobs to turn smoothly. The pickups looked terrible with bits of plastic sticking out all around, but not far enough to get a hold of it, so I ended up adjusting the pickups all the way up (about 7 turns of each screw) and was able to get more plastic out from around the edges.. I then screwed them back down the same number of turns to get them set back to factory heights..The only other thing I noticed is a slightly rough area on the neck (behind the 1st and 2nd frets), that I will take some super fine steel wool to, in order to get it as smooth as the rest of the neck, which is very smooth and has a matt finish.The strings are a bit tarnished, which is not unexpected for a guitar that has been shipped from Malaysia to the U.S.. You could take a rag with a little metal polish on it to clean them up, but I will probably just swap them out soon for a pair of Ernie Ball Super Slinky Strings..Set up all seems pretty good, and was easy play with no issues. Neck relief is about spot on, but I will give it a week or two to acclimate to the weather here before doing any final checks and adjustments. String height is just a bit high but not bad, and there is no fret buzz with the current set up. Frets ends are all surprisingly smooth and really don't need any work. The Fret board is smooth, but looks fairly dry.. when I change strings I will polish the tops of the frets and give the wood a good coating of lemon oil. The "Floating Bridge" came Decked (meaning the bridge is sitting flat on the body of the guitar, and will only bend one way when using the Tremelo), but this is probably best for new players, as it helps to keep it in tune easier.The strings were out of tune, as to be expected, but tuned up just fine and seems to be holding tune fairly well (new strings will stretch for a while, so expect to tune it up quiet a bit when its new ).Overall impression (for a $200 guitar) is very good, If you want to know more about how this guitar sounds and compares to others, there are already many Youtube Reviews from music shops that got them early, so I will let you check them out to see what you think of the sound etc...I added a few photos showing the internals on this, in case someone was wondering what the electronics and body cavities cutouts look like..
