Squier is a guitar brand owned by Fender, known for producing affordable versions of classic Fender instruments like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Precision Bass. Originally a string manufacturer in the 19th century, Squier was acquired by Fender in 1965 and relaunched in the early 1980s as a budget-friendly alternative to Fender guitars.

Squier instruments are widely used by beginners, students, and even experienced players seeking value and versatility. Despite their lower price point, many Squier models offer solid build quality and are popular for modifications and customization.
