IDK... There are some Fenders that cost like $10 more than some Squires but that decal makes it seem like it cost $500 more.If you buy decent strings you've spent more on your Squire than a cheap Fender, what's the issue with swapping out the decal you don't have to constantly explain that what...

Kinda went left field and picked up an SR750. The American Standard got sold and the next best thing was an American Special that felt like its knobs were glued to the pick guard, had to put strength into turning them was kind of a turn off.
