I've had my squire for 8 years and have been using it
as my main guitar the whole time. It has held up very
nicelly. Rumors that these guitars can't hold 12
guage strings without snapping is BS too. I've
noticed that the new squires definately have much
thinner bodies, but I'm not sure if mine has. Dick
Dale has said that the thing that makes the strat the
ultimate surf guitar (vs the jazzmaster or jaguar) is
the thick solid wood (or something in similar fashion
to that).
