All the electronics below the strings did not work. A screw was missing above the strings . I had to send it back.
Hopefully you guys send me another guitar that works. If you do I'll amend my rating!

Uneven construction but still a decent purchase
I decided to pick this guitar up during a sale. I’ve read many places how great the quality is lately of Squire instruments. For the money, we’ll worth it, but don’t expect it to be any kind of playable condition when it arrives, if your experiences are similar to mine:
Price and shipping? Can’t be beat!
Quality of workmanship? Uneven at best. While the paint finish is nice, the neck pocket looks very uneven at the edges, I would normally think of this as a factory second. The trimplate around the upper switches wasn’t flat and the screws were at a slight angle. I removed it to find that the drilled holes were never cleaned, the tops of the holes raised slightly and the screws put in at a slight angle because of this. It was easy to remedy by filling, sanding and redrilling the holes, but to me that’s a little extreme even at this price point! The action was terribly high, the intonation totally off and there was string buzz around the bridge. After watching a few Jag specific videos, I shimmed the neck pocket slightly with two small cut business cards to increase the break at the neck. Did a complete readjustment of the bridge and strung it with 11’s (per most articles I read). Now it’s a beautiful, beautifully playing instrument! So beware!
P.S. no case or gig bag, I know these aren’t mentioned as being included but I was still surprised that it came “naked”.
P.P.S. Surprising good tuners, I thought this would have the cheaply stamped crap you usually find on cheaper guitars, these are a decent facimily of vintage fender tuners!

For the price this is an outstanding guitar. Squier is making great instruments nowadays.
