Last year, Fender introduced the wallet-friendly Squier Debut Stratocaster and Telecaster as their response to the influx of affordable guitars from Amazon. At that time, the key feature was their remarkably low price, but we’ve recently discovered that both models are now available with a 19% discount on Amazon for Prime Day, making them even more affordable!
These guitars feature a poplar body and a sleek C-shaped maple neck, perfect for new players, along with a laurel fretboard and ceramic pickups. While the Sea Foam Green option for the Strat isn’t discounted, you can choose from classic finishes like Sunburst, Black, and Dakota Red. The Telecaster, on the other hand, is available in Sea Foam Green and Dakota Red, with a price tag of only $109.99, making it the more budget-friendly option between the two.
Additionally, buyers receive a complimentary subscription to Fender Play, the company’s popular online guitar lesson service, as part of the package.
Now, it’s important to acknowledge that opting for a budget Tele or Strat may come with certain compromises, even under the Fender brand. For instance, while the ceramic pickups are suitable for beginners, you may want to consider upgrading them in the future. Despite this, the value for money is surprisingly high, especially given this low price point, and you’ll likely have enough leftover for additional accessories like a tuner, strings, or even an amplifier.
