Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
On décrie trop souvent Squier ! On entend trop souvent que c'est de la merde (soyons clair)! Cela n'a pas toujours été le cas. Actuellement, c'est fabriqué en Chine et c'est pas trop le top ! OK.
Je me souviens avoir testé des Squier dans les années 80 et elle étaient mieux que les Fender de l'époque ( certains crieront, mais c'était vraiment le cas - désolé ).
Donc, ci-dessous, un petit texte retraçant l'historique de la production Squier. Il provient du site web de Fender.
In 1982, the first Fender® "Vintage Series" guitars were produced in Japan. In that same year, in an effort to compete effectively in the European budget guitar markets, Fender Japan began producing some less-expensive versions of the "Vintage series" guitars for export into those European markets. These instruments were identified by a small "Squier®" logo on the end of the headstock. Later that year this logo was replaced by a larger "Squier®" decal which took the place of the Fender® logo on the headstock. These were the first Squier® brand instruments.
As the brand's population grew steadily, so the production expanded from Japan to neighbouring Korea in 1988 and China in 1991. Since then, the Squier® brand has diversified, constantly evolving and innovating, expanding into the manufacture of amplifiers, P.A and clothing.
Sorry, c'est en anglais - pour la traduction, demandez à Ian
