With the right features, size, and price for younger guitarists, Squier's durable MA-1 steel-string model is made to suit both students in school music programs and beginners who would be more comfortable with a smaller guitar.
Quality: looks good, feels good and plays well for the paltry $100 that I paid for the thing. I have compared it to chinese low-cost guitars and the fit and finish is better on this squire.
