It's a Squier, which is a cheapy Fender brand owned by Fender. A bit like Gibson/Epiphone. They aren't bad guitars. I think they're all made in China now and there are lot of reasonably-priced, well-made instruments coming from there now.

If you look closely, it isn't a Squier guitar, the headstock shape is wrong and the logo type is wrong. I currently own 2 Squier guitars, a Statndard Tele model and the 60's vibe Strat which are both a cut way above the Squier Affinity series (Which are hit or miss in quality and playabilty) The original Squier Bullet's (With the Tele headstock) are some real nice guitars that are hard to come by these days and I regret selling mine to buy a MIJ Strat.
I, like Pete, adore guitars bordering on religious and have way more guitars than what my wife thinks I should have.

I have a Squier Strat, pretty old, with a tiger maple neck. Your resolution must be better than mine, it sure looked like a modern (Chinese) Squier to me and part of the details talks about Fender and Squier trademarks (I'm afraid I checked as I couldn't understand the price tag!)

The older ones can be nice. You still play?
"FENDER, SQUIER, and the distinctive headstock designs commonly found on these guitars are trademarks of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC)" "Autograph Pros L.L.C. uses authentic SQUIER by FENDER guitars." This may be true of some of the guitars they sell, just not this one. Read the statements carefully, designs commonly found on these guitars, old bait and switch sales trick.

I'm gigging a fundraiser on Saturday with my wife on cello!
I mainly play accoustic (mainly 12 string). I have a Taylor sapele Grand Auditorium 12 string and a L'Arivee mahogany/spruce L-03 6 string. The Squier was a birthday gift from a very good friend this year. I bought a Spider IV 30, but haven't played it much yet. The bridge needs resetting (tuning's a bit off) and I just haven't had the time. My grandkids love it when I blast out on the Crash setting!
How about you?

Guitar and cello, I'll bet that sounds nice. Me, I play guitar in a local band called Neck Plate (Classic rock) we gig 4-5 times a year to offset gear cost, but mostly we just play and drink beer.

Sounds like a plan. In my younger years I used to dance Morris. I seem to remember beer was strongly involved in that too.
Nobody pays me even beer money these days, I do it for love! When I was about 17/18 (my god, what a long time ago THAT was) the band I was in made a vinyl album (rock/folk) and I came across a listing on-line earlier this year for this rare gem (sold for 43 pounds). I played bass then. <sigh> the memories .
I mostly play Beatles, CCR, Buddy Holly etc. at parties for family and friends, although Pink Floyd and Led Zep creep in when playing with the friend who gave me the Squier. I retire next spring and I hope to get my playing really back in shape (I might even join with a few other old farts and try to get that beer money!)

Pete, by the way, curse you too!
I now have a targeted ad from FleaBay for Bleeber guitars on the CP pages I view.

They'd have to PAY me more than that to take it!
Seriously, 2.5k for a modern Squier, yet alone a defaced one.

Why does a guitar named after some Canadian kid have a Japanese woman's face stencilled on it?

Damn, we Canucks were hoping to palm him off as Japanese. Now you've given the plot away.

Don't be mean.
I quite like Justin Beiber.
Daughter: Hey mom,I 'm going to my room with my boyfriend.
Mom: Ok, don't do anything stupid.
(Boyfriend and Girlfriend enter the bedroom)
Daughter: Baby, baby, baby, OOOH!
(Mom runs into the bedroom)
Mom: What are you doing?!
Daughter: We are having sex!
Mom: Oh thank god, I thought you were listening to Justin Bieber

I know, and that's the glory of it.
Each one is better written than our internal workflow system. We're trying to get it replaced with JIRA so we don't have to maintain it, but management is in an escalation of commitment anti-pattern.
