Squier

Squier is a Fender-owned brand known for affordable electric guitars and bass guitars, including versions of the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Mustang, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass. Its origins lie in the American V. C. Squier Company, founded in 1890 as a string maker. Fender acquired the company in 1965 and introduced Squier-branded guitars in 1982.

The range spans entry-level Sonic and Affinity instruments, vintage-inspired Classic Vibe models and the Paranormal series, which explores less conventional combinations of body styles, pickups and specifications. Familiar Fender designs and accessible pricing are central to Squier’s position in the market, with instruments serving both beginners and experienced players seeking a lower-cost option.

MyGear currently lists 223 Squier products in stock at partner retailers, with prices from £7 to £499 across electric guitars, four-string bass guitars, bass amp combos, cases and bags. This accessory-to-instrument price range places the listed selection principally in the budget and affordable segment. Examples include the Affinity Telecaster, Classic Vibe Custom Esquire and Paranormal Baritone Jazzmaster HH.
