Acquired by Fender in 1965, the Squier name was used in 1982 to allow people to own a real Fender at a reasonable price, instead of a cheap knock-off. Squier gives people the ability to stop dreaming and start playing, which is why it has become one of the most respected brand in the guitar world. From classic Telecasters, Mustangs and Jazzmasters to Signature models designed in collaboration with artists like Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance, Matt Freeman of Rancid and Mike Dirnt of Green Day, Squier instruments offer everything you could want at a price almost anyone can afford. By combining quality and affordability, Squier makes it easier than ever to play the guitar of your dreams!
