Mine was pretty cheap and I noticed a fret or 2 not working properly. Like they werent machined down with precision and you would get a buzzing sound from string, no matter how close you were to fret.
So, anyway. I’m upgrading. I hope that I can get the chords down now since I have invested decent money and committed myself.
Here is what I bought:
Keep us updated on how everything goes. You’re a smart dude so im sure you’ll get a hold of it soon.
sometimes even with expensive guitars they require being taken to a music store for a set up. they do things like fret leveling, truss rod adjustment, and nut and bridge height adjustment etc.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmnnnnn.
Nice, d00d.
makes me want to buy an electric guitar…good for you man.
I agree with @cigarino
I had a friend who played in a band and I went with him to a music store to adjust his guitar.
She’s beauuuuuty full 
There may indeed be a way to adjust it to the point that its better, however, pretty sure its a flaw in manufacturing as well…since you can play all the frets around the one I’m messing with atm and they work fine, but when you play this one the string buzzes. I don’t know that much about adjustments, but if fret was the same height as others, it shouldnt be happening. Pretty sure that fret is not the same height as others and this is whats causing the issue.
Nice guitar. I have a twenty year old esp bass guitar that needs pickup etc. It’s good you’re playing.
Nice looks good man 
I’m pretty sure I saw srv’s guitar up for auction, maybe try and get that, then you’ll be really good
Mate. Cheap guitars can be a problem but I haven’t bought one since the 1980’s. I’d imagine there’s some serious problems which is a problem because I was looking at one of those packages you got off of amazon…if that was where you got it.
Fender is a nice brand and should have some quality control for sure. Big name and wish you well with your new guitar. I’m sure it’ll be the business and wish you all the best with it.
Nice buy! I have an old squier bullet that was cheap but runs so smooth that it has become my go to above many of my other guitars. Squier has really stepped up their priduction game over the years. Happy fretting!!
most guitars are mass produced so flaws like that are normal. usually what they’ll do during a set up is look at the surrounding frets and sand down the one that is too tall, usually the fret that wont play or just makes a buzzing sound has a fret nearby that is a different height causing there to not be enough clearance for the string to resonate fully when playing on that fret
I can use a cheap camera in a pinch, but you need good kit if you’re serious about your art. That’s why I use professional grade camera bodies. I’m sure it’s the same for musicians. Quality tools produce more consistant and higher quality results.
I have a Fender Stratocaster I bought in Korea when I was in the Marines. Haven’t touched it in years.
It’s a really nice guitar. Let us know how it goes
Good for you. Squier is a really great starter brand. Some of them play really nicely.
You can get them setup to be better action but honestly, I think you will be happier with the Squire.
I had a guitar with bad action and even after setting it up it still was pretty bad.
I own a cheap acoustic, a cheap electric, a medium grade nylon string guitar, and two mandolins one nice one one cheap. You did the right thing, barring the top fret can be impossible on a cheapo guitar. What’s her name?
My daughter had a clarinet from eBay that was horrible no matter what. Finally bit the bullet and bought her a quality unit (Yamaha, I think). Man what a difference.
