Squier - Simon Neil Signature Stratocaster (Used)

A secondhand instrument in excellent condition. This signature series Squier is based on the Classic Vibe 60’s guitars and features aged/vintage parts with the famous Fiesta Red finish. Made in 2014, complete with Fender gig bag.

Guitar Magazine Review

"Tweaked pickups give this Squier's low end a tight, focussed Strat snap, and the trebles sound unexpectedly thick"

"The fretwork installation is very impressive, and the choice of a wire that's tall but not too wide or chunky provides a great balance between accurate chord intonation and effortless string bending with a low action."

"Our sample was a breeze to play, and the floating vibrato - a regular moulded-block Squier unit with the addition of bent steel saddles - offers about a whole tone up-bend and good return to pitch."

"Even under scrutiny the price seems low. Affordable, classy, accessible to younger players - it's an exceptional job - 93%"

Total guitar have written a complete lowdown on the Biffy Clyro guitars including in depth interviews with the band and Simon Neil talking about how he gets his massive live sound. 

• "Plays so sweet it even sees action at Biffy Shows"
• "It feels tough and professional, tunes up well, and doesn't feel like a £359 axe"
• "Pound for pound, this is the guitar that gets you closest to the sound of Only Revolutions."
• "To keen ears, there is increased tonal depth here that's critical for the huge sound of "Mountains", and will give your own riffs a boost even if you hate Biffy."
