Squier

Squier began as the V.C. Squier Company in 1890, producing strings for violins, banjos, and guitars. Acquired by Fender in 1965, the brand was reintroduced in 1982 to offer affordable versions of Fender's iconic models, such as the Stratocaster and Telecaster, initially manufactured in Japan. Today, Squier remains a popular choice for beginners and budget-conscious musicians, providing accessible instruments that capture the essence of Fender's classic designs.
