Jerome Bonaparte Squier, an English immigrant. He left England on his way to America. From there, he arrived in Michigan. In England, the best man was a farmer and a shoemaker. In addition to this work, he has also acquired the knowledge and skills to become a good violin builder. Jerome and his son, Victor Carroll Squier, started working on this. They built ViolinsAnd repairedThey. The violins she built were eventually even known as "the American Stradivarius".
With this history we can see that there was serious craftsmanship. Everything Squier made was of very good quality. For example, the hand-wounded violin strings soon stood out. Until 1900, the European strings were always of the best quality. But these strings of Squier changed that. Which ultimately resulted in Leo Fender electric guitars with Squier Stringswanted it. Which made the company growing extremely fast and becoming more well-known. From these steps it was arranged in such a way that Squier officially became a supplier of parts from Fender.
Fenderhad never had a cheap line with models like the Stratocaster and the Telecaster before. However, when there were companies that did make copies, they could not be left behind themselves. The first types of Squier were launched in 1982. From that moment on a hit among the general public. Quality is also. Never been a problem. Some of the Squier guitars have still been sold under the name Fender. If quality allows, why not?
