The Wanderkauven Take If you know, you know. The Squier SE Stratocaster is widely considered the best "sleeper" guitar in the budget market. Unlike other entry-level models that feel toy-like due to thin bodies and narrow necks, this 2008 SE feels substantial. It boasts a full 1.75-inch body thickness—the exact same spec as an American Fender—which gives it better resonance and sustain.
This particular unit is dressed to impress with a 3-Color Sunburst finish and an upgraded White Pearloid pickguard, giving it a classy "Texas Blues" vibe. The neck is a comfortable C-profile with a Rosewood fretboard, offering a warmth you don't get from modern laurel or pau ferro boards. Whether you keep it stock or use it as a platform for high-end upgrades, this is a lot of guitar for the money.
